| More Information: | Language Modeling Researcher, Burlington, MA; Seattle, WA; Aachen, Germany or
Montreal, CN
Big Data Careers is currently looking for an experienced research engineer to
work on a language modeling. Our client is the leader in natural language
processing.
The responsibilities of this position will include gathering and processing of
appropriate text data, building and releasing statistical language models,
evaluating emerging systems, and assisting with research experiments aimed at
iterative improvements. This will be accomplished with the help of existing
tools and technologies but will require customizations per application and data
source along with the creation of new software.
An LM Researcher will work closely with the LM Research Scientists, LM Linguists
and LM Engineers on the team. They will leverage LM Linguist expertise to aid in
processing, cleaning and conditioning data to be used for training and updating
models. They will use tools provided by LM Engineers for general data processing
and model building. The LM Research Scientists will provide guidance on the
recipes to use for building models, variations that need to be evaluated and
related experiments that need to be run and analyzed. It is expected that over
time, LM Researchers will gain intuition in proper experiment design and that
provided research specifications will require less fleshing out. Additionally
they will gradually gain expertise in using our modeling toolkit.
An LM Researcher will be working predominantly in a Linux environment making use
of command line tools. They will create new scripts for processing data and for
gluing together existing tool
