Hermes Traducciones <http://www.hermestrans.com/> is looking for a
post-doctoral researcher (Experienced Researcher - ER) to investigate on
the implementation and evaluation (including user aspects) of the improved
SMT, EBMT and TM prototypes proposed in EXPERT project (http://expert-itn.eu).
The ER will complement the work of a group of ESRs (Early Stage Researcher
- ESR) with humanities background in the implementation and evaluation
(including user aspects) of the improved SMT, EBMT and TM prototypes
proposed in EXPERT. The contract offered has a duration of 18 months.
Objectives

- Improved and fully functional corpus-based MT models including TM, SMT
and EBMT that make use of the matching and retrieval techniques
investigated in EXPERT project.
- Comprehensive analysis of the suitability of these approaches in
industrial application scenarios.
- User-centred evaluation of improved SMT, EBMT and TM prototypes.
- Illustrate the benefits brought by the EXPERT technologies in real
life scenarios.


To reach these objectives, the following tasks and methodology should be
taken into account:

- Implement the corpus-based MT models relying on TM, SMT, EBMT, and
resolve practical challenges.
- Incorporate the NLP-modules for improved matching and retrieval
techniques developed by two ESRs of the project.
- Evaluate the suitability of these approaches in industrial application
scenarios and with professional translators.
- Measure the improvement in performance provided by EXPERT technologies
over baseline TM, SMT and EBMT models.
- 2-month visit to Dublin City University to study the prototypes for
improved individual translation tools and the ideal infrastructure for
translation proposed in EXPERT and interact with one of the ESRs.
- 1-month visit to another translation company to evaluate the
prototypes developed together with one of the ERs.


Results

- Improved SMT, EBMT and TM prototypes.
- Final evaluation of these prototypes.
- Scientific papers: A minimum of two scientific papers will be
published at major conferences and/or relevant journals.
- Comparative evaluation showing the improvement brought by EXPERT
technologies over other existing systems.
- Analysis of their suitability in industrial application scenarios.
- Demonstration of prototypes to the community in the project Business
Showcase.
- Contribution to a training course held as part of the project Business
Showcase event, and to hands-on training for the use of the new tools
developed in EXPERT project, as well as on general post-editing of
automatic translation.


Requirements
We are looking for an open-minded person that loves programming and is
focused on quality and performance.

- Master or doctorate in IT, computer engineering or mathematics.
- World-class programming skills.
- In-depth knowledge of the state-of-the-art algorithms and methods
related to data retrieving, data mining and string manipulation.
- Knowledge of MT systems, preferably SMT and EBMT.
- Knowledge of machine learning and typical NLP languages, such as
Python and/or Perl.
- Knowledge of translation memory systems and matching & retrieval
algorithms and segmentation.
- Knowledge of Linux-based server environment.
- Availability to work in an international environment.
- Good relationship and communication skills.
