PhD offer on Analogies in Natural Language Processing
by stergos.afantenos＠irit.fr 06 Oct '22

06 Oct '22

3-year PhD position in Computational Models of Analogy Making in Natural Language (IRIT and University of Toulouse, France) We invite applications for a fully funded PhD position for 3 years at the IRIT laboratory and the University of Toulouse, Paul Sabatier, France, in the context of the recently funded project AT2TA on Analogy Making. Analogy Making is a remarkable cognitive capability during which similarities and differences between two parallel situations are exploited in order to draw a common "essence" allowing us thus to categorize an object or a particular situation to a preexisting concept or create a new one. Reasoning by analogy allows us thus to transfer our understanding of a previous situation to a new one and appropriately adapt it. It has been argued that analogy making lies at the core of cognition (Hofstadter 2001) and has recently drawn the attention of Deep Learning pioneers (Chollet 2017, LeCun 2022). In Natural Language Processing analogies usually take the form of a quadruplet a:b :: c:d traditionally expressed as "a is to b as c is to d" (for example, Paris is to France as Berlin is to Germany). Most of the extant work considers a, b, c, d as word embeddings and then relies on geometrical properties of those embedding in a higher dimensional space in order to recognise a quadruplet as an analogy or to generate a d such that a:b :: c:d forms analogy given a, b and c. Despite the importance of analogies, most works in NLP do not consider analogies between sentences and do not concentrate on the underlying latent relations that form the common essence between pairs (a,b) and (c,d). The successful PhD candidate will work on computational models which can identify analogies between sentences or even bigger chunks of text with a particular focus on the identification of common latent relations which are also an essential part for an explainable AI. The successful candidate should hold a Master's degree in computational linguistics or computer science or cognitive science and has prior experience in word embedding models or deep learning approaches in general. The candidate should have strong programming skills and expertise in machine learning. The position is affiliated with the IRIT laboratory at Toulouse and there will be frequent interactions with researchers at the Loria laboratory in Nancy in the context of the AT2TA project. Applications will be considered until the position is filled, but applicants are encouraged to apply as early as possible since applications will be considered at the moment of reception. Applications, in English or French, should include a detailed CV, a letter of motivation and at least two recommendation letters. Applications should be sent to Stergos Afantenos (stergos.afantenos at irit.fr). The starting date of the position will be in January 2023, but can be filled earlier if need be.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Recent developments in MT research. - MT evaluation methodology, metrics and results. - Launch of MT-specific evaluation campaigns. - New or prospective commercial users of MT technology. - MT environments (workflow, support tools, etc.). - Interaction between users and MT systems. - MT combined with other technologies (translation memories, speech translation, cross-language information retrieval, multilingual text categorization, multilingual text summarization, etc.). - MT for less-resourced languages: development, usage, etc. - MT in the social internet: new uses, new modes of development. - MT for crisis management. - Training events on MT, particularly on recent developments. - Events to disseminate MT, especially to the wider public (including shared tasks). - Creation of datasets for MT research. All proposals will be screened by a review committee that consists of EAMT Executive Committee members and possibly a few appointed external experts if necessary. == Submission information == * Eligibility requirements * In order to qualify for funding, the individual making the proposal must be a confirmed student member of the EAMT at submission time (Membership information: http://www.eamt.org/membership.php). Applicants will also need formal approval from their supervisor. It is important to emphasise that projects are expected to be student-led. Therefore, although we welcome projects showing collaboration with industry and other academic partners, the project is expected to directly benefit the students own career and/or project. * Selection criteria * - The proposed activity should be of direct interest to the MT community at large: researchers, developers, vendors, translators and/or users of MT technologies. - The proposal shall clearly describe the purpose of the project and include measurable mid-project milestones for which a report should be submitted (see below). - Preference will be given to projects which by nature will involve and be beneficial for several persons, as for instance conferences, seminars, workshops, shared tasks and tutorials. - Proposals with a significant, clearly identified impact on the MT community (through the development, dissemination or use of project results) are those most likely to be accepted. - Proposals that bring together different aspects of MT will be especially valued. - The proposal should be clearly justified as being technically and/or scientifically sound. - The quality and efficiency of the implementation of the proposal will be evaluated. - The budget should be adequate for the proposed objectives and the actual implementation of the activity. == Budget == EAMT anticipates funding several proposals for various activities. The total foreseen EAMT Budget for this call is around €4,000 to cover all granted projects. The maximum amount EAMT can grant for a single project will be €4,000. During the negotiation stage, budget adjustments may be required by the EAMT executive committee. This means that the EAMT may only offer to partially fund a project. A project being granted financial support by EAMT according to this call will receive 50% of the granted amount at the start of the project. The proposer will receive the remaining 50% when the mid-project progress report has been received by the EAMT Secretary and substantiates that the mid-project milestones are met, and furthermore provided that the proposer is still a current member of the EAMT. == Contact for enquiries == Carolina Scarton EAMT Secretary e-mail: c.scarton(a)sheffield.ac.uk == Submission procedure == * Overview * Candidates should submit their proposals as a single PDF file, written in English, that is composed of the elements described below. - Proposal description: 2-page maximum - Person/organisation experience: 1-page maximum - Budget and project planning overview: 1-page maximum - Supervisor's letter of approval: 1-page maximum Proposals should be submitted no later than the deadline (see Important Dates below) through EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eamt2023 (Submission type: Project Proposals).
