<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Postdoctoral Position Available -- News/Blog Analysis<br />
<br />
The Lydia project builds a relational model of people, places, and other<br />
entities through natural language processing of news sources and the<br />
statistical analysis of entity frequencies and co-locations. This model<br />
can be used to identify trends and other information flows through this<br />
entity network. Please visit http://www.textmap.org/ to see our analysis<br />
of recent news and blog postings obtained from over 500 daily online news<br />
sources.<br />
<br />
Lydia gives us a way to measure the temperature of the political, economic,<br />
and cultural world. We track hundreds of thousands different entities<br />
arising in these news sources. We establish temporal and regional biases<br />
in interest, by analyzing the frequency and positive/negative sentiment<br />
of these entity references. We identify relationships between news entities,<br />
resulting in a massive network where the vertices represent news entities,<br />
with pairs of entities linked if there is a substantive relationship between<br />
them.<br />
<br />
A two-year postdoctoral position (potentially extensible to three years or<br />
beyond) is now available to join our team. I am looking for someone with a<br />
background in either:<br />
<br />
(1) natural language processing,<br />
(2) text mining or data mining,<br />
(3) graph algorithms and the science of networks, or<br />
(4) data analysis or visualization.<br />
<br />
The applicant will be expected to use their expertise to improve the quality<br />
of our analysis, and help manage a team of roughly ten graduate students<br />
as we shift our focus beyond technological issues to questions of what this<br />
data means and how we can best exploit it.<br />
<br />
Applicants *must* be U.S. citizens who will receive their Ph.D. in<br />
Computer Science, Linguistics, Economics, or a related field no later than<br />
August 2007. If interested, please send your vita and contact information<br />
electronically to skiena@cs.sunysb.edu or by mail to:<br />
