We are recruiting a R&D engineer specialized in natural language
processing (NLP) in the framework of the European project READ-IT
(Reading Europe Advanced Data Investigation Tool ). The project teams up
researchers in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) with
researchers in Human and Social Sciences (HSS) on the topic of exploring
and exploiting large collections of testimonies (texts, images, videos)
describing the experience of reading.
You will be responsible for the specification, the conception, the
implementation and the validation of the NLP modules of the READ-IT
platform. In a first step, you will collect and analyze the needs of the
project partners. You will then conceive solutions to address those
needs based on the adaptation to the application context of technology
available among the partners or as standard software (Stanford NLP,
CLARIN-IT, etc.). Needs encompass, for instance, named entity detection
(authors, titles, dates, etc.), text mining, in particular in social
networks, to automatically identify reading situations, detection and
characterization of emotions or lexicometry. You will finally integrate
the solutions developed to the READ-IT platform and validate them with
the HSS partners using the platform.
You will join as a member of the LINKMEDIA research team of IRISA , the
largest French public laboratory in the field of computer science. The
LINKMEDIA team is internationally recognized for its research activities
in multimedia content analysis: computer vision; audio, speech and
language processing; multimedia information retrieval; machine learning
and artificial intelligence. You will be integrated in a group of 5
researchers involved in the READ-IT project within which you will be
given autonomy to develop your work in close interaction with project’s
partners in France, the UK or The Netherlands.
To apply, you require at least a M. Sc. level or equivalent with
education background in NLP and machine learning. A first working
experience is preferred but not mandatory. Applications must include a
CV, a motivation letter, elements demonstrating an M. Sc. Level for the
domains of interest (NLP, machine learning) such as academic
transcripts, as well as contact details of personalities able to provide
recommendation.
