Mallery) via the list LN (Langage Naturel ) The Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology invites applications for a PostDoctoral Associate, Position #95-0148C A Postdoctoral Associate in computational linguistics is needed to work with a team developing a natural language understanding system targeted at unrestricted domains. The research will be part of a fundamental research project seeking to embed intelligence into the information infrastructure; several prototypes have been developed that have been tested and used by the U.S. White House. The individual will develop a bidirectional parser-generator for English as a component of a larger system. The parser-generator will be closely coupled to a semantic representation built on research in lexicalist and constructivist semantics and directed towards bottom-up acquisition of knowledge from text. The system will be applied to unrestricted English and must fail gracefully when its coverage is exceeded. Qualifications: PhD in computational linguistics or related field. Individual must demonstrate an exceptional ability to design and implement complex systems in Common Lisp; Lisp Machine experience is a plus. Excellent communications and computational skills are important because this individual will be working with a team and building on a substantial software base. NOTE: At present we anticipate that funding for this position will continue through 7/31/96, with potential follow-on funding. Qualified applicants, please respond mentioning position # to: Mr. James McCarthy MIT Personnel Office Building E19-238 400 Main Street Cambridge, MA 02139 MIT is an Affirmative Action/Equal Employment Opportunity Employer.
