SoBigData Scholarships for short-term visiting PhD students
As a part of SoBigData's Transnational Access (TNA) activities, the
Department of Computer Science at Sheffield University is keen to host PhD
students from non-UK universities who would like to visit Sheffield to
undertake a short period of research as part of a scheme to promote
international cooperation and the dissemination of knowledge. Grants are
made available to cover 1-2 month research and study visits for PhD
students at non-UK universities. During the visit students will join in one
of the following research projects:
* • Social media part of speech tagging in multiple languages*
— Part of Speech is one of the most widely used linguistic
features to analyse social media content. The project aims to build models
to tag social media content with the universal POS tag set.
* • Social media named entity recognition in multiple languages*
— The presentation of named entities in social media is
generally different from the presentation of named entities in news
articles. NER systems trained on news articles cannot perform well in
social media analysis. The aim of this project is to build NER models for
social media in different European languages
* • Sentiment Analysis for Twitter posts*
— Sentiment analysis is one of the basic components used to
analyse societal debates. This project aims to build a sentiment analysis
model based on short and noisy twitter posts.
* What is covered (*up to 4500 euros*):*
Return flight/train tickets to Sheffield
Accommodation during the visiting period
Daily subsistence

Mentor from GATE members
