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.
