    COMPUTATIONAL LINGUIST for Korean

    The NLP Group in Microsoft Research is looking for a computational lexicographer for Korean. The position will be located on the Microsoft central campus in Redmond, Washington, USA. This is a great opportunity to work with a dedicated group of researchers who are creating a system for unrestricted text understanding and generation.

    RESPONSIBILITIES:

    The lexicographer's primary responsibilities include developing and maintaining the morphological rules and data for the language, in accordance with the overall system architecture used by the Microsoft Research NLP group.

    QUALIFICATIONS:

    The lexicographer's qualifications should include experience in linguistic research and online dictionary development, programming experience, keen interest in lexical issues, and an advanced degree in linguistics or a closely related discipline. Native proficiency in Korean is assumed. A practical orientation is highly desirable. Significant programming experience or experience extracting lexical information from online dictionaries or corpora would be a plus.

    ABOUT THE MICROSOFT NLP RESEARCH GROUP:

    We are in the process of designing and building a system to analyze unrestricted natural language, taking input text, and moving from lexical/morphological analysis through syntax, semantics, and eventually pragmatics and discourse. A generation component is also planned. The programming system and underlying principles that are used for English have been found to be applicable to other languages. We are empirically oriented, and are happy to use good linguistic ideas wherever they can be found. A reasonable first-version summary of our techniques and some of our experience can be found in the book "Natural Language Processing: The PLNLP Approach," Kluwer Academic Publishers, Boston, 1993.
