PhD Position in NLP and Literary Text Revision

PhD position available at Marseille Computer Science and Systems Laboratory for a research project on modeling literary writing and revision processes using NLP and machine learning.

The Marseille Computer Science and Systems Laboratory is offering a three-year thesis grant to model literary writing and revision processes. The project involves predicting edit operations on a given text, potentially concerning lexicon, syntax, or textual organization.

The research will be structured around three main directions:

• The nature of the predicted object, which could be a sequence of edit operations or a more complex form like a graph.
• Data collection and production for training revision models, as literary revision data is scarce.
• Evaluation methods to assess the quality and consistency of the revised text.

Candidates should have a strong background in machine learning, particularly deep learning, and knowledge in Natural Language Processing. The application deadline is June 22.

For more information, contact Patrice Bellot, Christophe Leblay, or Alexis Nasr.
