The Laboratory on Accessible Technologies "S. Polin" at the University
of Turin, Italy (http://www.integr-abile.unito.it/en/) offers a 1-year
postdoc/research-grant position in the context of the project NovaGraphS
(Non-Visual Access to Graphical Structures,
http://www.integr-abile.unito.it/en/progetto-novagraphs/).
The project concerns the issue of accessing scientific contents of
graphical structures (e.g, tables, trees, graphs) for visually impaired
people. The goal is to use together WEB and NLP/NLG technologies for
building a browser plugin that supports a speech-based accessible
representation of graphical structures. The main idea is to build a
software that (1) starts from a syntactic/semantic representation of the
graphical structure (e.g. LaTeX), (2) converts it into SVG (that is
readable by a browser), and (3) reads and navigates the obtained SVG
using speech dialogue.
The research team includes Alessandro Mazzei (PI, from Computer Science
Department), together with all the participants to the project.
The yearly salary for this position is 19,367 EURO (gross),
corresponding to a net monthly salary 1,425 EURO (12 times a year).
A PhD or a Master's degree in Computer Science, Computational
Linguistics, or related areas is highly recommended but not strictly
required. Knowledge of Italian is not mandatory.
The position will start >>March 1st 2023<< and the deadline for
application is >>December 23th 2022<<, but please contact
<alessandro.mazzei at unito.it> for any further information ASAP.
Best regards,
Alessandro Mazzei
