Funded Ph.D. scholarship in Bitext Creation and Annotation 2004-2007
The School of Computing and the National Centre for Language Technology has secured a studentship for a Science Foundation Ireland-funded Basic Research project on Bilingual Corpus Development and Annotation. The project starts October 2004, and funding is for three years at a rate of €12,000 p/a and fees.
Our ideal candidates would have a good background in Computing, Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing; programming experience in one or more of Java, Perl, C++, Prolog, Lisp etc, and a strong interest in and motivation for research is strongly recommended. The research involves knowledge of Lexical-Functional Grammar and Bilingual Sub-Sentential tree alignment. We envisage that the resources built will be primarily of use in the area of Corpus-Based Machine Translation. The student would also work alongside a postdoctoral researcher in probabilistic models of generation.
