Pre-announcement:
Postdoc on “Evolving knowledge graphs from scientific texts”

In collaboration with Elsevier and Amsterdam Data Science we are looking for a talented post-doctoral researcher with a strong background in NLP and text-mining; expertise in areas related to HCI and/or knowledge engineering is also relevant.

Many high quality scientific databases are now being curated manually by human domain experts. In this project we aim to develop methods and techniques to evolve knowledge bases in specific domains (semi) automatically, while optimizing human curation efforts needed to guarantee the quality of each update. In addition, we aim to explicitly model and link entities that play a role in different domains. You will develop robust text-mining and other techniques that can handle potentially contradictory information and run these on large corpora of scientific publications to populate knowledge graphs with weighted relationships. You will design and apply metrics to effectively measure the quality of your results, and show the relevancy of your work in the context of a concrete business case.

Formal job opening will follow soon - stay tuned
