PhD Scholarship in Natural Language Generation
In conjunction with Arria NLG plc, the University of Aberdeen is
offering a scholarship for a PhD student to work on Natural Language
Generation, ideally starting in the autumn of 2014.
The student would work on a topic of interest to Arria NLG; possible
topics include:
* language-oriented analytics and reasoning
* multimodal/interactive systems which combine text and graphics
* authoring tools for rapidly building NLG systems
Other topics will also be considered.
Students will receive the standard UK PhD stipend, which is currently
UK£13726 (tax-free), for three years. It may be possible for students
to supplement this by working part-time for Arria.
Applicants should have a good undergraduate or master's degree in an
area related to NLG (eg, computer science).
The University of Aberdeen has one of the world's leading research
groups in natural language generation (http://www.abdn.ac.uk/ncs/departments/computing-science/natural-language-generation-187.php).
Faculty include Prof Kees van Deemter, Prof Ehud Reiter, Dr Advaith
Siddharthan, and Dr Yaji Sripada.
