Info Beasiswa : PhD Position in the maintenance planning of a water distribution network

7.2.15 |

There is now an open PhD position in the Department of Civil Engineering that will be coupled with an externally financed research project entitled “A methodology to determine optimal water distribution network work programs (WATERWORKS)”.
PhD Position in the maintenance planning of a water distribution network
The objective of this work is to develop a methodology to be used to determine optimal work programs for a global drinking water system, including treatment plants, storage tanks, pumping stations, and the distribution network. This methodology will have the potential to be used by water network managers to take into consideration the many factors that are required in making decisions both now and in the future, along with the uncertainty associated with these factors, as to when, where and how to intervene on the network. It will include the development of standardized processes for the collection and administration of data and information.The project will be conducted in the Institute of Construction and Infrastructure Management under the direction of Prof. Dr. Bryan T. Adey, and will involve regular interaction with the manager of the water distribution network.

The successful candidate for the PhD position will have a Master’s in civil engineering, environmental engineering or systems engineering and will have a keen interest in the modelling of network behavior, operations research and the management of infrastructure. It is beneficial if the successful candidate has an interest in information management systems. As the manager of the water distribution network is French speaking, the successful candidate must speak French fluently. The ability to speak and work in English or German is beneficial.
For further information please contact Mrs. Anne-Marie Weiersmüller by e-mail weiersmueller@ibi.baug.ethz.ch (no applications) and visit our website www.ibi.baug.ethz.ch.

Applications must include a letter of interest, CV (with list of publications and contact information of two referees)  and grades of all university courses taken and should be sent online with attention to:
ETH Zurich, Mrs. Corina Niescher, Human Resources, CH-8092 Zürich by February 28th, 2015. Screening of applications starts on March 1st, 2015.

[beasiswa] [info] Master internship and PhD position in Conditional Random Field learning for Sentiment Analysis in Phone Conversations

Apologies for cross-postings.

Master internship and PhD position in Conditional Random Field learning for Sentiment Analysis in Phone Conversations

Telecom ParisTech (http://www.telecom-paristech.fr/eng/)
37 rue Dareau, 75014 Paris - France

Advisors:
Chloé Clavel  (http://clavel.wp.mines-telecom.fr/)
Slim Essid  (http://perso.telecom-paristech.fr/~essid/)

Starting date: Anytime from February to June 2015

Funding: Secured with the Telecom ParisTech Machine Learning for Big Data Chaire (http://machinelearningforbigdata.telecom-paristech.fr)

Keywords: Sentiment Analysis, Opinion Mining, Machine Learning, Conditional Random Fields, Natural Language Processing, Audio and Speech Processing

Applications are invited for a 3 to 6 month master internship to be continued by work towards a PhD for a duration of 36 months. Outstanding candidates will be considered to start the PhD work immediately, without doing the internship.

Topic:
Sentiment analysis and opinion mining have gained an increasing interest with the explosion of textual content conveying users’ opinions (e.g. film reviews, forum debates, tweets). Hence, natural language processing researchers have dedicated a great deal of effort into the development of methods amenable to opinion detection in such texts, though often simplifying the problem to one of classification over the valence (positive vs negative) and intensity axes. As for sentiment analysis in speech signals, there have been hardly any attempts. Further challenges are posed in this case where not only should the special features of spoken language be taken into account, but also prosodic features and the potential errors of automatic speech recognition systems.
The research work planned will focus on the development of sentiment analysis methods in the context of phone conversations. The privileged research direction will consist in exploiting the appraisal theory adapted to the verbal content (as defined by psycho-linguists) in order to create effective computational models of evaluative expressions. In particular, Conditional Random Fields will be considered with feature functions encoding the semantic rules usually used for our task.

IDEAL CANDIDATE:
Master’s student or Master’s degree with background in
-    Machine learning / pattern recognition
-    Speech processing, natural language processing
-    Excellent programming skills (Python, Java, C/C++)
-    Good English level

APPLICATIONS :
To be sent to chloe.clavel@telecom-paristech.fr, slim.essid@telecom-paristech.fr,:
-    Curriculum Vitae
-    Statement of interest (in the body of the email)
-    Academic records
-    List of references

Incomplete applications will not be considered.
