Language Computer Corporation (LCC) is a privately-owned company committed
to the development of next-generation natural language processing (NLP)
technologies. Since our founding in 1995, we've provided both government
and commercial customers with intelligent, semantically-informed search and
discovery software tools which unlock value by actually understanding the
information stored in large collections of text. LCC has spun off two
semantic technology startups, including Swingly, a Web-scale answer engine,
and Extractiv, a high-performance content harvesting service.
The Position:
We are seeking linguists to assist in developing our language processing
software.

our offices in Richardson, TX. Start time is immediate. Ideal candidates
must possess a constant desire to learn the new technologies involved,
think creatively to solve the kinds of problems associated with NLP, and
work with software engineers to define the tasks. There is a possibility
that the position could transition into a full-time job.
