Studierende finden an der ETH Zürich ein Umfeld, das eigenständiges Denken fördert, Forschende ein Klima, das zu Spitzenleistungen inspiriert.
The ETH Media Technology Center is a place where you will work at the intersection of research and industry applications. Together with our industry partners, we are building the media technologies of tomorrow. To achieve this, the center provides a platform to work on technological innovations at the intersection of media technology, digital journalism, and design. To join our interdisciplinary team, we offer a position as a Postdoctoral Researcher in Natural Language Processing.
Together with our industry partner, we are currently exploring how we can make recent advances in NLP accessible to the Swiss media. Most models in natural language processing (NLP) show the best performance for English since, traditionally, research questions are addressed first for English texts. Besides, most available data sets are in English. This has led to a considerable performance gap between NLP methods for English and other languages. The media landscape of Switzerland offers a unique opportunity to advance the state-of-the-art in multilingual NLP research: Despite its small size, Switzerland has four official national languages and a variety of strong dialects that are used in written and oral communication.
You will be responsible for 1-2 applied research projects with a clear focus on the potential impact for our industry partners. You will be developing new algorithms and systems as well as adapting the state-of-the-art to the specific challenges of our partners. In dialogue with our industry partners, you will develop novel methods that have a direct impact on the (Swiss) media industry. For this, you will be working closely together with research engineers that will implement your research into software prototypes. Many of the projects at the center are interdisciplinary and lie at the intersection of machine learning, computer vision, and natural language processing. You will be working on projects such as multilingual text summarization for news articles or automatic post-editing of machine-translated text to adapt it for journalistic purposes. Projects have clear deliverables and milestones and are decided upon by the media technology center's steering committee.
