is offering a postdoctoral position in the field of "Text Analytics", partially funded by Yahoo! Research. Research Activity: The goal of the project is to develop an Integrated Language Analysis Engine (ILAE) capable of performing complex semantic analysis of texts, based on an integrated model of multiple levels of linguistic knowledge. The analysis model will be learned from experience, exploiting a latent variables architecture that uses multiple layers of features extracted simultaneously from the documents to be analyzed. The ILAE will be capable of performing syntactic analysis, semantic analysis, entity recognition, and knowledge extraction and of supporting machine translation, within a single integrated model. It will produce deep, broad coverage, cross-lingual semantic representations that are induced automatically from data. The successful candidates will have a strong background in computer science and knowledge of statistical machine learning techniques, with emphasis on text and natural language analysis. They are expected to provide leadership on technical issues and well as to contribute to the development of object oriented high performance applications. Skills and Experience: - A background in Computer Science with specialization in Computational Linguistics or Natural Language Processing - Expertise in text mining or information retrieval - Thorough understanding of software development methodologies - Excellent programming skills in C++ and Python - Expert-level understanding of statistical machine learning techniques as applied to text analytics, e.g., information extraction, summarization, classification, clustering, tone/sentiment analysis, relevance ranking Education: PhD in Computer Science, Computational Linguistics or equivalent. Application: The details of the call are available at: http://medialab.di.unipi.it/Announcement/BandoAssegno2.pdf The deadline for applications is February 18th. -- G. Attardi
