A post-doctoral position is proposed at IMMI-CNRS (Orsay, France -

Unit (UMI) in the field of Multimedia and Multilingual Document
Processing. It gathers three contributing partners: LIMSI-CNRS, RWTH

      Context of the project

The project relies on an experimental platform for online monitoring of
social media and information streams, with self-adaptive properties, in
order to detect, collect, process, categorize, and analyze multilingual
streams.  The platform includes advanced linguistic analysis, discourse
analysis, extraction of entities and terminology, topic detection,
translation and the project includes studies on unsupervised and
cross-lingual adaptation.


      Requirements and objectives

A PhD in a field related to the project (translation, natural language
processing or machine learning) is required. The candidate will perform
research in the framework mentioned above, and will supervize collection
and annotation of the data. Salary will follow CNRS standard rules for
contractual researchers, according to the experience of the candidate.
