DESCRIPTION:The Research Group in Computational Li
 nguistics, Synalp/LORIA in Nancy (France) invites 
 applications for a three-year-funded PhD studentsh
 ip in Computational Linguistics.   There is a grow
 ing need in the semantic web (SW) community for te
 chnologies that give humans easy access to the mac
 hine-oriented Web of data. Because it maps data to
  text, Natural Language Generation (NLG) provides 
 a natural mean for presenting this data in an orga
 nized, coherent and accessible way. Conversely, th
 e representation languages used by the semantic we
 b (e.g., OWL ontologies and RDF data) are a natura
 l starting ground for NLG systems. The aim of the 
 PhD thesis will be to explore the interaction betw
 een the semantic web, the textual web and Natural 
 Language Generation (NLG). More precisely, the goa
 l will be to develop generic weakly supervised met
 hods for generating text from semantic web data in
  particular, content selection and verbalisation m
 ethods.  The project will build on an ongoing coll
 aboration between LORIA (Nancy, France), the KRDB 
 group at (Bolzano, Italy) and Stanford Research In
 ternational (USA), bringing together high level ac
 ademic partners with internationally recognised ex
 pertise in both NLG (LORIA) and knowledge processi
 ng (KRDB, SRI).  Deadline: open until filled. For 
 more information, see http://www.loria.fr/~gardent
