The starting date is as soon as possible. The position is full time with salary and benefits commensurate with a public service position in the state Hesse, Germany (TV-H E 13, 100%).Responsibilities include scientific research and outreach. Your work will broadly cover customizable language generation and models of perception. This may include techniques for modeling style and explicit stylistic attributes, differences in language use across demographic groups, models of perception for subjective classification tasks (e.g. sarcasm, toxicity, morality, humor), and how solutions to these problems can be leveraged for creating more sustainable and higher performing models in natural language processing research.The successful applicant will have a university degree in Computer Science (Diploma, Master or equivalent), a specialization in Natural Language Processing is preferred. Prior experience with online discussion analysis, neural network architectures, and natural language processing is expected, and experience with computational sociolinguistic research and strong programming skills are desirable.  Candidates should be enthusiastic, self-motivated, reliable, creative, and able to pursue research projects both independently and in collaborations. Excellent communication skills in written and spoken English are required, including article writing in international scientific journals.  Willingness to pursue your own scientific qualification in the field of natural language processing is expected. We offer collaboration with a diverse team, including members of Dr. Welch's group as well as members of the newly formed group of Prof. Lucie Flek, in a stimulating international scientific environment at one of the oldest universities in Germany, with the highest proportion of international students in the state of Hesse.Philipps-Universität Marburg supports young scientists in their career development, e.g. through positions offered by the Marburg Research Academy (MARA), the International Office and places for higher education pedagogy and personnel development.We promote opportunities for women, expressly requesting applications from women. In areas where women are underrepresented, we will favor female applicants if their application carries equal merit compared to the applications of their male peers. Our university furthermore aims to be family-friendly, which means we welcome applicants with children. Filling this position on a part-time basis (see § 9 (2) sentence 1 of the Hessian Equal Rights Act –(HGIG)) or reduced working hours are possible in principle. Applicants with disabilities within the context of the German Social Security Code IX (SGB) (§ 2 (2), (3)) will be favored if their application carries equal merit compared to applications from candidates without disabilities. Application and processing costs will not be refunded.For further information, please contact Charles Welch (<a href="https://url6b.mailanyone.net/v1/?m=1nw0Gu-0006Zq-4C&i=57e1b682&c=wqoTOFxpp_m4v0cWKCAB6EzaNbJqWJWeCQbeny-KDYayMkTFgCigDhrtesj-cQJ2Mv4IiptPoQtf00uehWfh6GU-XMX_9v6GPkQ-AH7ufIjqsTP0E6rrp977RvetLT0UM4hk8zU2JxXNQPxRNpP-dugwzBHJ8fxRkVa5mUp2Ir8HXpFo4hi2Bpj-nSg2EfzLvMiUcmaG-fhyQwlWhM9r_A" target="_blank">https://cfwelch.com/</a>) or email him at <a href="mailto:welchc@staff.uni-marburg.de">welchc@staff.uni-marburg.de</a><hr />PhD scholarships at the University of Bozen-BolzanoThe Free University of Bozen-Bolzano (<a href="https://url6b.mailanyone.net/v1/?m=1o3rhT-0005kc-57&i=57e1b682&c=ixOyhyuf3o-tw0-IJ-s-0l2l7maffuKCakHdVC2QA1nL9FGtd_J978RPCeFjkk24MQKWleoSnRVe8gGyveVKlQ1YYAXM8Pw19sE6vZ1hjqE5A5JvrJZADLaU7QB85Xcz5_zD6gDTvmhTMw7U4A1U5MPCoxNWOF-MNWWPKasSOujtPQ7w2MRFdS6laV31FMzcH3ZDbsUmlvKRv-eC69DgRw" target="_blank">https://www.unibz.it/</a>) has opened a public competition for 21 fully funded PhD scholarships in Computer Science (deadline July 1, 2022). They cover a range of epistemologies, theories, methods and applications of computer science. Topics include studies of theoretical AI, data science and machine learning application, up to the design of the most advanced user interfaces and critical user research.In particular, the two following topics (in collaboration with Fondazione Bruno Kessler) can be of interest for the mailing list.Emotions in Multilingual Texts (Carlo Strapparava)The affective dimension of word meaning often forms part of our reservoir of common-sense knowledge, and it is reflected in the way we use words. This project aims at producing and evaluating new technologies for recognition of emotional language and possibly other subtle pragmatic aspects of communication. Because there are diverse subtilties in emotional expressions in different languages, the project will devote particular attention in approaching the problem from a multilingual point of view.Neural Models of Collaborative Behaviours in Conversational Agents (Bernardo Magnini)Human-human dialogues are characterized by collaborative behaviours, through which interlocutors achieve their communicative goals. As an example, proactivity (i.e., anticipating user needs during dialogue) and grounding (e.g., posing clarification questions) are two relevant cases that have been investigated from a linguistics perspective. However, such collaborative behaviours are still largely absent in current neural dialogue models. There are several open research challenges in this direction, including investigating how dialogue systems can learn when and how to be collaborative, depending on the dialogue context, and how do we evaluate whether collaborative behaviours have improved the efficacy of dialogue. This PhD project addresses collaborative behaviours in conversational agents from a computational perspective, exploiting the integration of machine learning approaches based on neural models, reinforcement learning, and knowledge-based techniques.Key information to apply and gain admission to the PhD Programme can be found here:<a href="https://url6b.mailanyone.net/v1/?m=1o3rhT-0005kc-57&i=57e1b682&c=5OMUm_NuCDSdHYsIGlUaNpZtZG4Ey0k-vnJTq3knt-IrCknb576aodRI1dnkW-j5WldcgQYEzSpbTrYdWoShQ0Tc_rlJX4jB3FKDgeuA8voC7YnnA8GchBdi1bQ2FKeOZTsSGercpE_q-UXfZLnDKuIvqE6tQVKol0dqgCeIMl0rXLKb3iLp0iyrn1s2DqMnuW1Eo3xe_kpQ4pHQCY4j0UQL8Jx86LnXvYn2yeYfaoVykKFFnS_Qcbw09NnyPjjG8OCnAqwCNXVX7kVGCT-XUg" target="_blank">https://www.unibz.it/en/faculties/computer-science/phd-computer-science/</a>The scholarship includes              University Fees              3-year personal grant (approx. € 17,000 NET per year)              50% pay increase to support international mobility for a period variable between 6 months and one year according to the type of projects              Personal budget for research and travel expenses (Euro 2,500)              State-of-the-art technical equipment Further financial possibilities are available in the form of teaching contracts and research consultancies during the years of study, for top students.------ Post added on [DATETIME="UT"]1656088827[/DATETIME]</blockquote>
