Statistical Natural Language Processing
ATR Interpreting Telecommunications Research
Laboratories
Kyoto, Japan
ATR in Kyoto, Japan is looking for a talented and experienced
mathematician (good probability background) / computer scientist who
is interested in coming to Japan and joining an exciting research
project in statistical natural language processing. The overall goals
of the project are to continue development of natural langage parsers
and use them in statistical French<->English language translation.
The research group which the candidate would become part of has
developed and is refining a natural language parsing system based on
statistical machine learning algorithms. The job begins ideally in
March, 2001 and lasts for 1-4 years. Later start dates are possible,
though not a first choice.
A qualified candidate must have the Ph.D. degree, preferably math,
physics, computer science; with extensive programming experience and
expertise in C++. Ability to innovate approaches to applied
mathematical problems in the area of probability required. Experience
with statistical modelling within general pattern recognition field
also important. Familiarity with natural language field a plus but
not absoutely necessary. Candidate should know UNIX well and in
general be a highly expert programmer. This is not a job for those
who are theoreticians only, but rather is for someone who is equally
at home with issues of statistical modelling theory, experimental
method, and detailed coding matters. Java/Corba experience would be
nice, though again not required. The position involves supervision of
several researchers and programmers as well.
Salary and conditions competitive.
