| More Information: | Project title: Arabic Parsing
Job Category: Research Student Internship (6 months)
Location: Dublin City University, School of Computing, Dublin 9, Ireland
Closing date for applications: 12 September 2010
The National Centre for Language Technology (NCLT) invites applications from
PhD research students or MSc research students to join the NCLT/CNGL research
team in the context of the Arabic Natural Language Processing project funded
by the Faculty of Engineering & Computing.
The internship project aims to produce an efficient pre-processing method for
Arabic data in order to improve existing statistical/machine-learning-based
POS-taggers, morphological analysers and parsing systems. This pre-processing
will take the form of date and numerical expression normalisation and
spelling/grammatical error correction with a view to parsing of unrestricted
Arabic text.
This project involves a considerable amount of research and technology
infrastructure building. Experience in Natural Language Processing is
required. Applicants should have a good grounding in Statistical Parsing,
Machine Learning-based NLP, and a good knowledge of Arabic grammar would be
ideal.
The internship will be for a max. of 6 months (October 2010 – March 2011) and
we will pay a stipend of €1300 per month to cover living expenses (This
amount is not liable to tax).
To apply, email Dr. Lamia Tounsi (lamia dot tounsi at computing dot dcu dot
ie) attaching a recent CV and contact details for two references.
