[rede.APPIA] NLP: Bolsa de doutoramento com propinas pagas durante o período da bolsa

A equipa de NLP do LIAAD – INESC TEC, Porto, procura candidatos de excelência com o grau de mestre que queiram fazer um doutoramento nesta área de investigação. O prazo de candidatura é 6 de janeiro.


A linha de trabalho está inserida no projeto Text2Story, cujo desafio é extrair narrativas de texto, havendo uma forte atenção para o processamento de texto em Português, sendo por isso dada preferência a falantes do Português. O projeto tem já vários resultados e uma equipa alargada incluindo cientistas de computares de linguistas.

A bolsa inclui o pagamento de propinas de doutoramento e a possibilidade de apresentar artigos em conferências.

Em alternativa os candidatos mestres podem realizar trabalho de investigação durante 12 meses, inseridos numa formação não conferente de grau, sendo no entanto dada preferência ao doutoramento.
