REMINDER: One more week to apply (deadline: 15 February)! Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Researcher position within the > project “Polyglot Machines: Human-like Learning of Morphologically Rich > Languages”, financed by a NWO-VIDI Talent Grant and coordinated by > Principal Investigator (PI) dr. Arianna Bisazza. This is an > interdisciplinary project at the intersection of Computational > Linguistics/Natural Language Processing (NLP), Computational > Psycholinguistics and Language Acquisition. > > Despite the impressive advances made possible by neural networks, current > NLP systems are still far from displaying the learning abilities of humans > in many languages. By contrast, children around the world acquire extremely > diverse languages in comparable time spans and from considerably less > linguistic input than that required by neural models. > > This project aims to improve language modeling for low-resource > morphologically rich languages, taking inspiration from child language > acquisition insights. Among other methodologies, an artificial language > learning paradigm will be used to simulate the learning of typologically > diverse languages and evaluate the effect of known child-directed language > properties on the acquisition of morphology and other language aspects. > > You will be carrying out your research in the context of the Computational > Linguistics group, which is part of the Centre for Language and Cognition > of the University of Groningen, The Netherlands. > > An important part of your work will be conducted together with the PI and > the PhD student that will be hired for the same project. Collaboration is > also possible with other PhD students supervised by the PI, as well as > other members of CLCG. > > Main requirement: A PhD degree in any area related to the tasks (such as > Computational Linguistics, Computational Psycholinguistics and Language > Acquisition). > > Find more details and apply here by 15 February 2024: > > > https://www.rug.nl/about-ug/work-with-us/job-opportunities/?details=00347-02S000AJTP > > Starting date: Negotiable. Ideally 1 September 2024. The appointment will > be for a specified period of 1 year, renewable for up to 2 more years (so > up to 3 years in total) following positive evaluation. > > For questions about the position: A. Bisazza (do not use email for > applications) > > [email protected] >
