Graduate Research Assistantship
UMIACS Computational Linguistics and Information Processing Laboratory
August 28, 2008

I'm looking for a Ph.D. student to work with on an NSF project in which
we are applying computational linguistics techniques to create new
capabilities for scalable "content analysis" research in the social
sciences.  We'll work closely with social scientists on a broad range
of problems and genre.  Our piece of the puzzle is to design and
evaluate new text analytics techniques that can support specific types
of analysis (e.g., lagged correlation in amount or diversity of
discussion of specific technologies, analysis of influence propagation
in social networks identified from evidence in large text collections
to identify opinion leaders, or jointly clustering topics and the
people who write about those topics).  We're also in the process of
starting a collaboration with a group in Singapore, so spending some
time there might be possible if you're interested.

The perfect candidate for this position would be at or near completion
of coursework, interested in pursuing a dissertation with a
computational linguistics focus, and interested in interdisciplinary
collaboration with domain experts from other fields.  Specific courses
that would be helpful include CMSC 723 (which is offered this fall),
CMSC 773, and/or LBSC 796.

I hold appointments that allow me to advise Ph.D. students in
Information Studies, Computer Science, and in the Applied Mathematics
and Scientific Computation program.  This graduate research
assistantship would thus most likely be of interest to students in
one of those programs, but I would be happy to talk with
Ph.D. students from any program.  This is a long-term position, so
masters student who have not been accepted to a Ph.D. program should
not apply.  The position will be open until filled.

You can reach me most easily by email.  References from my present
Ph.D. students are available upon request :-)
