An open internship position on a mix of string algorithms, grammatical
inference and statistical machine learning


*Description*

We are looking for a motivated intern for a project involving the use
of sequential patterns for the inference of grammars.

The Smallest Grammar Problem is the problem of finding the smallest
context-free grammars that generates exactly one given sequence. We
plan to generalize this in order to find grammars which generate a set
of natural language documents with a strong but hidden structure. This
structure will then be converted into additional features (through
tree kernels for example) in our analytics pipeline or alternatively
as a starting template for existing multilingual authoring tools.

*Requirements*

Research-oriented master student or PhD candidate in computer science
Knowledge of standard text algorithms and data structures
Knowledge of formal grammars (a course covering the Hopcroft & Ullman
book or equivalent for example)
Knowledge in statistical machine learning applied to text is a strong plus
Fluency in either C, C++ or Java is a plus

The intern will work closely with researchers in a very international
environment, and will be strongly encouraged to produce scientific
publications.

*Duration*: 5-6 months
*Start Date*: March-April 2014

*Application instructions*

Informal inquiries are welcome and can be made at
matthias.galle@xrce.xerox.com .

To submit an application, please send your CV and cover letter to both
xrce-candidates@xrce.xerox.com and matthias.galle@xrce.xerox.com .

Ideally, you will also include in your CV people we can contact for
letters of recommendation.

Profile : Computer Science LIPN, University Institute of Technology of
Saint -Denis, Universit? Paris 13

Teaching Profile
================
Education Department: Business Management and Administration
Place of work: University Institute of Technology of Saint -Denis
Teaching team : Initial training

Topics:
----------------------
- Information and communication tools and programs
- Design and implementation of an information system with a Relational

- Computerized running of companies
- Computer tools for management and ERP


Recherche Profile
=================
The Computer Science Laboratory of Paris-North University (LIPN) has
been associated with CNRS since january 1992 and is a mixed research
unit since january 2001 (UMR 7030). Research at LIPN is carried out in
its major areas of expertise, in particular Combinatorics, Combinatorial
Optimisation, Algorithmics, Logic, Software, Natural Language, Machine
Learning. The laboratory is structured into five teams: A3, AOC, CALIN,
LCR and RCLN.


Successful candidates will hold a PhD in Operations Research or
Mathematical Programming, and will join the Algorithms and Combinatorial
Optimization (AOC) research team
(http://www-lipn.univ-paris13.fr/AOC/):

The AOC team is organized along three axes: Optimization on graphs,
Mathematical Programming and Parallel and Distributed Computing. These
three research axes are strongly linked together. The first one mainly
deals with optimization problems in graphs with focus on complexity,
Polyedral theory and Approximation.

The second axis of the AOC team (i.e., Mathematical Programming) deals
with the design and analysis (both theoretical and empirical) of
mathematical programming approaches and algorithms. Both exact and
heuristic approaches for solving hard combinatorial optimization
problems are developed. Among these approaches there are: branch and
cut, branch and price, methods of decomposition and relaxation.
Moreover, both MILP (mixed integer linear programming) and MINLP (mixed
integer non linear programming) are studied. The third axis deals with
problems intersecting three strongly linked domains: distributed
middleware and architecture, distributed programming and distributed
algorithms.
An interesting characteristic of the AOC team is that our expertise
covers a broad spectrum of topics either horizontal (from graph theory
to heuristics) or vertical (from algorithm design to detailed
implementation). The theoretical and methodological work is complete by
an industrial transfers.

The second axis is particularly interested in solving hard
combinatorial optimization problems by exact and matheuristic
approaches. The ?ma?tre de conf?rences? recruited will integrate the AOC
team LIPN on a mathematical programming profile. Expertise around
reformulation and decomposition methods will be appreciated.


Key words: combinatorial optimization, discrete applied mathematics,
mathematical programming.

pages in the proceedings. This form is intended for contributions
reporting on original research, submitted exclusively to this
conference.

Brief announcements of 5 to 10 minutes accompanied by two page
abstracts in the proceedings. This format is a forum for brief
communications, which may be published in other conferences.

Submission:

Papers are to be submitted electronically, following the guidelines
available on the conference web page. Authors unable to submit
electronically should contact the program chair to receive
instructions.

Each submission must be in English, in PDF format, and begin with a
cover page including: (1) the title, (2) the names and affiliations
of all authors, (3) contact author?s email, address and telephone
number, (4) a brief, one paragraph abstract of the paper, (5)
indication whether the paper is a regular submission, or a brief
announcement submission, (6) indication whether the submission is
eligible to be considered for the best student paper award.

A regular submission must not exceed 10 single-column pages (excluding
cover page and references). Additional necessary details may be
included in a clearly marked appendix that will be read at the
discretion of the program committee. A brief announcement submission
must not exceed 3 single-column pages. All submissions must use at
least 11-point font and have reasonable margins. Any submission
deviating from these guidelines will be rejected without
consideration of its merit.

It is recommended that a regular submission begin with a succinct
statement of the problem or the issue being addressed, a summary of
the main results or conclusions, a brief explanation of their
significance, a brief statement of the key ideas, and a comparison
with related work, all tailored to a non-specialist. Technical
development of the work, directed to the specialist, should follow.
Papers outside of the conference scope will be rejected without review.

If requested by the authors on the cover page, a regular submission
that is not selected for a regular presentation will also be
considered for the brief announcement format. This will not affect
consideration of the paper for a regular presentation.

Publication:

Regular papers and brief announcements will be included in the
conference proceedings. Extended and revised versions of selected
papers will be considered for a special issue of the Distributed
Computing journal. Two papers will be considered for publication in
JACM.

Best paper and best student paper awards:

Prizes will be given to the best paper, the best student paper and the
best presentation. A paper is eligible for the best student paper
award if at least one of its authors is a full-time student at the
time of submission. This must be indicated in the cover page. The
program committee may decline to confer the awards or may split awards.
