3 PhD positions in Compositional Distributional Semantics, University of Trento (Italy)

Three PhD positions/studentships to study compositionality in distributional semantics are available at the Center for Mind/Brain Sciences at the University of Trento. The studentships are funded by a 5-year European Research Council Starting Grant awarded to the COMPOSES (COMPositional Operations in SEmantic SPACE) project, that aims at modeling composition in distributional semantics.

Given the interdisciplinary nature of the project, we seek brilliant students with any of the following backgrounds: machine learning, psycholinguistics, formal and/or computational semantics.
