PhD position: Semantic analysis and its application in specialized domains
Specialty Areas: computational linguistics; distributional semantics;
terminology
The PhD is part of the ADDICTE project (Distributional analysis in specialized
domain) funded by the French National Research Funding Agency (ANR). The goal
of the project is to propose an operational solution to the distributional
semantic analysis in specialized domain to construct semantico-conceptual
representations of the domain (domain ontologies, thesaurus, terminological
resources) which can be used both in knowledge engineering and in some
documentary applications (indexing of documents for instance).
The PhD will focus on the construction of the meaning of specialized
linguistic units: composition and distribution. It will be focus more
specifically on the semantic representation of complex terms, constructed
morphologically or syntactically, on the processes of construction, and on the
computation and exploitation of these representations in multi-domain and
multilingual contexts. In particular, it will study the semantic
compositionality of complex terms based on the distributional analysis of
their components and the semantic relations that can be induced between the
complex terms in order to provide existing terminologies with a fine
structuring.
Candidate profile:
• Masters degree or equivalent in computer science.
• Previous experience with NLP and machine learning.
• Strong programming skills (Python). Knowledge of Linux.
• Good command of French and English.
• Good academic writing and presentation skills.
• Familiarity with terminology and lexical semantics would be appreciated.
The net salary is approximately 1400€/month
