Information Retrieval and Semantic Technologies
Department of Computing Science
Faculty of Information and Mathematical Sciences
Salary £23,002 - £25,889
REF No: 13170/DPO/A3
Large collaborative scientific projects (particularly in astronomy and
particle physics) require users to search for information located in
distributed stores, described using various distinct metadata models.
This multidisciplinary project aims to apply established AI and
Knowledge Engineering work, including Data Mining and Semantic
Technologies, to develop a novel peer-to-peer solution to this
problem. The work will extend the successful Terrier information
retrieval platform (http://ir.dcs.gla.ac.uk/terrier ) and its
corresponding tools, developed at the University of Glasgow, with
semantic web tools and techniques.
The candidate will be responsible for implementation, and driving
standardisation in the appropriate forums in the context of an EPSRC
project (EP/E01142X/1). The post is available for 18 months in the
first instance.

Research Assistant
Information Retrieval and Text Mining
Department of Computing Science
Faculty of Information and Mathematical Sciences
Salary £23,002 - £25,889
REF No: 13171/DPO/A3
The researcher will be responsible for the development of information retrieval and data mining techniques on large-scale biomedical texts. Specifically, you will be required to develop appropriate distributed retrieval techniques for biomedical texts (under the direction of the investigators), implement retrieval techniques on OCR documents, develop retrieval techniques to identify relevant passages in a document, and develop data mining techniques to highlight useful information from these passages, with the intention to facilitate the population of a database, implement a number of demonstrator systems and conduct evaluations of the system.
The work will be implemented on top of the state-of-the-art Terrier information retrieval platform (http://ir.dcs.gla.ac.uk/terrier ). It will be done within the context of a collaborative European project (SIMAP). This post is available for 18 months in the first instance.
