1. Speech recognition
- -------------------
You will be developing a speech front end for our NL user interface.
Your profile
* a degree in computer science, applied mathematics, or a
related area
* ideally a PhD in speech recognition
* very good knowledge of statistics
* expertise in speech processing algorithms, ideally 3+ years
of professional experience in this area
* familiarity with the commercial speech recognition products
* very good programming skills (C/C++)
2. Knowledge representation
---------------------------
Your task will be to design, develop and maintain an ontology of
products, adapt it to new domains and feed it with knowledge available
on the Internet. You will closely collaborate with the NLP team on
the one side and database specialists on the other.
You have a degree in AI, computer science or a related area.
Your skills include:
* profound expertise in knowledge representation
* familiarity with different kinds of knowledge representation
languages; ability to assess their value for our project
* experience in the automatic or semi-automatic acquisition of
domain knowledge
* programming skills in Java would be an asset
3. Computational semantics/information extraction
- -----------------------------------------------
You will work on the robust representation of the semantics of user
queries in arbitrary domains. You will closely co-operate with a
knowledge representation expert responsible for domain modelling.
Your profile:
* a degree in computational linguistics or computer science,
* familiarity with the main meaning representation methods
(templates, logical representation languages, semantic networks)
* experience in information extraction, anaphora resolution and
related areas,
* good programming skills in Java or C++.
4. Statistical NLP, machine learning, corpus-based methods
- --------------------------------------------------------
Your possible work areas with our company include:
+ statistical parsing
+ statistical models for the construction of meaning
representations
+ automatic acquisition of domain knowledge/ontology
+ text mining/product name recognition
Your profile:
* expertise in at least one of the above areas
* good knowledge of statistical and symbolic machine learning
methods
* degree in computer science/applied mathematics/computational
linguistics or a related area
* good programming skills (C/C++)
5. Corpora, annotation
- --------------------------
Your task will be the acquisition, construction and preparation of
training corpora for statistical NLP algorithms. You will work for and
report to a statistical NLP expert responsible for the implementation
of training/processing algorithms.
Your profile:
* a degree in (computational) linguistics
* experience in the annotation/preparation/processing of
corpora (PoS corpora, treebanks etc.)
* familiarity with (main stream) statistical NLP methods
(e.g., POS tagging)
* strong programming skills in Perl or script languages
* good command of German and English
* programming skills in C/C++/Java would be an asset
