2 fully funded PhD positions available
The University of Stavanger invites applications for two doctorate scholarship in information technology at Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. The positions will be in context of the FAETE (From Answering Engines to Task-completion Engines) project starting in September 2015.
Details and application instructions: http://www.jobbnorge.no/en/available-jobs/job/115069/research-fellow-st-id-30061712-713
Application deadline: August 3, 2015.
Project description
Web search engines over the past decade have evolved into being the primary gateways to accessing the ever-growing amount of data available online. Major web search engines (Google, Bing, and Yahoo!) have become extremely effective in responding to a range of requests directly and appropriately (e.g., by showing results on a map or displaying "info-boxes" for entities, such as people or organizations). Search, however, is rarely performed for its own sake, but is usually associated with a specific target or goal. In many cases, this goal is the completion of a larger task, which is often complex (involving a nontrivial sequence of steps) and knowledgeintensive (requiring access to and manipulation of large quantities of information). Planning a family vacation or setting up a task force are just two of a plethora of examples. Such tasks call for a potentially large number of search queries to be issued in order to collect all the information needed. And, it often takes additional data processing steps (filtering, sorting, aggregating) before an actionable decision can be reached. Contemporary search environments are tailored to support a small set of basic search tasks and provide limited help in this tedious process. Resolving complex tasks with current search technology often requires us to use multiple search sessions and multiple search strategies, and then manually synthesize and integrate information across sessions (i.e., opening multiple windows or tabs and cutting-and-pasting information between them). To solve these problems, one needs a paradigm shift from answering engines to taskcompletion engines.
The aim of this project is to develop, implement, and test a task-completion engine that supports humans in solving complex, knowledgeintensive tasks, by providing an integrated environment that caters for all task-related activities (which, to date, are performed using a combination of various tools, applications, and services). Our system will provide assistance for formulating information needs by engaging in a dialog with the user, will offer rich interaction with results, and will be able to learn from past user interactions.
One PhD position will be focusing on user aspects: understanding and modeling user behavior and information needs in a task-based context, studying user interactions, and developing effective interfaces.
The other PhD position is focused on system aspects: understanding and representing information requests, and satisfying them by retrieving, extracting, and integrating information from various sources.
For further information regarding these positions, please contact Krisztian Balog (krisztian.balog@uis.no)

Job posting - Data Scientist / Engineer - Sydney, Australia
Data Scientist / Engineer
Interested in creating the personal research assistant of the future?
Meet Hugo — a mobile app that delivers briefs in those time-critical moments leading up to a meeting or phone call. Hugo's news summaries provide relevant information to strike up a conversation and build professional relationships.
We believe that better data is a critical part of the solution, and we're looking for Data Scientists and Data Engineers to join our team of IR, NLP, and ML experts.
We are building platform tools to accurately curate news and related content. We are particularly interested in collaborative approaches that combine human and machine intelligence. We believe there are many opportunities in Hugo and beyond.
Here are some examples of what we're working on:
- Creating a comprehensive, up-to-date knowledge base of people, companies and locations by unifying Wikipedia with other data sources.
- Ensuring the accuracy of our data through algorithmic validation (e.g., learnt confidences over machine extractors and human contributors).
- Building data infrastructure to ingest and transform news and related text data.
- Developing NLP models for identifying and resolving entity mentions in text, summarising text, extracting descriptions of entities, etc.
- Deriving search strategies for retrieval and ranking across various signals (e.g., query relevance, user relevance, entity centrality, result set diversity).
What we don't care about:
- High degrees and grand titles. We've got some of those, and it's ok if you do too. But we care about what you can actually do more than the letters after your name.
- Specific technologies. R vs Matlab? Python vs Scala vs Spark? We want you to help make technology choices and build great products.
What we do care about:
- Your experience. We're a small team, so we need people who can hit the ground running and learn new things along the way.
- How you develop ideas and insights with data. We are building a unique curation and analytics platform, using data-driven design at every stage of development.
- That you're a self-starter and a quick study. We're a startup, so everyone contributes to design, product, front end, and back end.
- Your high standards and judgment on what matters. We appreciate people who want to excel at everything, but the best are those who know how to prioritise and deliver.
- Your desire to build next-generation tools for intelligent curation. We are passionate about our data. We are seeking teammates that share our vision.
If this is something that interests you, send us an email at darren.chait@meethugo.com.
