The Institute for Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC) at the University of Amsterdam (UvA) invites applications for a two-year research position at the postdoctoral level in the Probabilistic Language Learning group (Probabll). This position is part of the EC-funded project *Global Under-Resourced Media Translation* (Gourmet) whose overall aim is to develop data-efficient neural machine translation for under-resourced languages. The successful applicant will work under the supervision of Wilker Aziz and in collaboration with other members of the project.
The main tasks include developing NMT systems for under-resourced languages (e.g. Turkish, Gujarati, Swahili), exploring and adapting existing models for this low-resource scenario, learning from little or incomplete supervision, making use of linguistic prior knowledge (e.g. via changes to the model and/or data augmentation). The ILLC is based in Amsterdam, a welcoming and international European capital, where English speakers will find no language barrier. Questions about the role can be emailed to Wilker Aziz (w.a...@uva.nl), applications should be submitted online before 3 May 2019 using the link in the vacancy text. *Links * Vacancy: https://www.uva.nl/shared-content/uva/en/vacancies/2019/03/19-171-postdoctoral-researcher-in-neural-machine-translation.html Gourmet: https://gourmet-project.eu Probabll: https://probabll.github.io Wilker Aziz: https://wilkeraziz.github.io ILLC: https://www.illc.uva.nl UvA: https://www.uva.nl/en -- Wilker Aziz http://wilkeraziz.github.io
