We invite applications for a postdoctoral and research assistant
position at the Data Science Institute of the National University of
Ireland Galway in machine learning for NLP with specific emphasis on
sequence-to-sequence learning for applications such as Neural Machine
Translation, ChatBots, Summarization and others.
The Data Science Institute (DSI) of the National University of Ireland
Galway [1] hosts the Insight Centre for Data Analytics [2], a
collaboration between several universities in Ireland. Insight is the
biggest dedicated research centre in data analytics in Europe. The
positions will be associated with the Unit for Natural Language
Processing [3] at DSI/Insight.
Main responsibilities for the postdoctoral positioninclude (but are not
limited to):
*
Performing research in sequence-to-sequence learning for
applications such as Neural Machine Translation (NMT), ChatBots and
Summarization. In the context of NMT, specific emphasis is on on the
injection of external knowledge (linguistic and terminological) into
the NMT framework and investigating multi-way NMT models for
under-resourced domain-specific scenarios.
*
Coordinate project work, advise other project members and support
the PI in project-related day-to-day business
Candidates for this position should have a PhD degree in a relevant
field of study with an emphasis on areas such as neural machine
translation, machine learning or natural language processing. The
position is for a fixed period of 12 months with the possibility of
extension, depending on successful acquisition of project funding in
which the selected candidate will be expected to actively participate.
Salary range: €39k – €45k per annum, (commensurate with qualifications
and experience)
Main responsibilities for the research assistant positioninclude (but
are not limited to):
*
Developing approaches for data collection and curation,
incorporating linguistic and terminological information into
sequence-to-sequence models and exploiting multi-way models for
under-resourced domain-specific scenarios.
*
Assisting on experiments for understanding sequence-to-sequence
models for applications in NLP.
Candidates for this position should have a MSc or equivalent in a
relevant field of study with an emphasis on areas such as machine
learning or natural language processing. The candidate should have good
programming skills in python (preferably experience with pytorch). The
position is for a fixed period of 12 months with the possibility of
extension, depending on successful acquisition of project funding.
Salary range: €23 – €34k per annum, (commensurate with qualifications
and experience)
