PROJECT DESCRIPTION
* Institution/Track: TCD / ILT3
* Project Title: Domain Adaptation in Semantic Role Labelling
* Suitable for student who are studying in the following areas: Computer Science students.
* Skills needed: Strong programming skills,
* Project Description: Hand annotated corpora with semantic annotations have led to the development of automatic semantic annotators. These automatic annotators are used in multiple applications as: search engines, automatic text summarizers, question answering systems, text paraphrasing or machine translation.
Unfortunately, the best systems lose accuracy when the domain
is changed.
The aim of this study is to develop pre-processing sampling
techniques to balance the training set distribution in order to
produce a more adaptable Semantic Role Labelling system.
* The Role of the student & benefits gained from participation in this project: The student will gain programming and research experience. Publication opportunities may result from the work, if the student is considering an academic career this may be useful
* Who will be working with you? Our undergraduate student will be working closely with Hector Franco, Liliana Mamani and Gerard Lynch (all post grads). The student will attend regular research meetings during his/her time with us.
* Short description of the group: We have six people in our group: PIs Carl Vogel and Martin Emms, post-docs: Baoli Li, PhD students: Liliana Mamani, Gerard Lynch and Hector Franco
* Recommended Reading Material: Borderline-SMOTE: A New Over-Sampling Method in Imbalanced Data Sets Learning, Fast algorithms for the unit cost editing distance between trees
* Other information: Deadline for applications is Friday 30th April 2010. Successful internship project proposals will start at the beginning of June 2010.

weekly
* Terms and Conditions:
- The projects named here are proposals only and not guaranteed funding. Proposals will be selected to become CNGL Internship Projects based on a competitive process taking the strength of student applications into account.
- Each funded project in the CNGL undergraduate Internship programme will run for 8 weeks from June 2010.
- Interns will take part in research meetings and have access to research tutorials and seminars at CNGL host universities.
- CNGL does not cover accommodation or travel expenses.
- Deadline for applications is 30th April 2010.
