The Computer Science Institute of the University of Le Mans (LIUM) has
an opening for a postdoc position in the field of Statistical Machine
Translation. The successful candidate will work on a project on Machine
Translation Enhanced Computer Assisted Translation (MATECAT), funded by
the European Commission.
Computer assisted translation tools are currently the dominant
technology in the translation and localization market. Recent
achievements by the statistical MT approach have raised new expectations
in the translation industry. So far, statistical MT has focused on
providing ready-to-use translations, rather than outputs that minimize
the effort of a human translator. The goal of the Matecat project is to
effectively integrate statistical MT within the translation workflow, to
make MT aware of its use, to self-tune to the task, to learn from the
user feedback, and to be informative.
We are looking for an excellent candidate with proven experience in the
fields of statistical machine translation, NLP or machine learning.
Knowledge of Moses is an advantage. Detailed information on our ongoing
research activities and other projects can be found at

Applications and inquiries should be sent to Holger Schwenk
([email protected]). Salaries start at 2500 Euros net
per month, including health care and other social benefits. The
position is immediately available and is open until filled.
