Postdoc in computational linguistics with specialisation in language grounding to vision, robotics, and beyond, Gothenburg (Sweden)

The broad focus of this position is computational modelling of language (computational linguistics, natural language processing or language technology) in the context of data from other modalities such as vision, perception and action from the perspective of human-centred AI. The topics relevant for this position are computational modelling of language and perception, human-robot interaction, situated spoken dialogue systems, and computational representation of meaning (semantics).

The work will be done within the Cognitive Systems group (lead by Simon Dobnik) which is one of the four research groups within The Centre for Linguistic Theory and Studies in Probability (CLASP) and is devoted to research and advanced training in the application of probabilistic modelling and machine learning methods to core issues in linguistic theory and cognition. The postdoctoral candidate will will have an opportunity further their scientific skills and advance the scientific filed by conducting research in collaboration with the research group by connecting ideas from several areas.
