3 postdoc positions in Statistical Machine Translation at LIUM, University of Le Mans, France
The computer science laboratory of the University of Le Mans (LIUM) has immediate openings for three postdoc positions in the field of statistical machine translation. LIUM performs research in statistical machine translation since several years and we are particularly interested in new machine learning methods. Ongoing work includes continuous space language and translation models, unsupervised training, comparable corpora, translation model adaptation, domain specific models, integration of linguistic knowledge, syntax, etc. LIUM is involved in several international projects, in particular EuromatrixPlus, Gale and several French national projects (e.g. http://www.cosmat.fr), and new projects are under preparation. We have very successfully participated in several international evaluations, in particular NIST'09 or WMT'10. A large computer cluster is available to support the research. The postdoc positions are immediately available and the initial appointment is for one year, renewable. Competitive salaries are available. Postdoc candidates must have a proven experience in machine learning, NLP and SMT, ideally with the Moses decoder. We are very actively working on large systems to translate from Arabic and Chinese. Knowledge of one of these languages is a plus. Le Mans is located in between Paris and the Atlantic ocean. Both can be reached in about 1 hour by high speed train.
