A position is expected to become available for a Research Associate to work
on statistical machine translation. The project, funded by the DARPA Broad
Operational Language Translation (BOLT) programme, will involve
collaboration with IBM TJ Watson Research Center and other leading machine
translation researcher groups in Europe and the USA. The aim of the project
is to dramatically improve statistical machine translation relative to the
current state of the art. The successful candidate will have a very good
first degree in a relevant discipline and preferably have a higher degree
in Engineering or Computer Science. Preference will be given to candidates
with experience in large-scale syntax-based statistical machine
translation, weighted finite state transducers, and machine learning and
statistical pattern processing techniques. As two of the target languages
are Arabic and Mandarin, fluency in either of these languages would be an
advantage.
