Advance Notice We will be advertising for a Research Assistent on FERMI. At Glasgow we have at last been awarded the Basic Research Action project by the CEC: Fermi: Formalisation and Experimentation on the Retrieval of Multimedia Information. The project started on the 1st March. Its partners are the IMAG Laboratory in Grenoble (Chiaramella),CNR-IEI Research Lab in Pisa (Thanos), and the CS Dept in Dortmund (Fuhr). This is indeed a basic research project with a heavy emphasis on the development of theory. The research work will require a reasonable understanding and confidence in formal logic and probability theory. The work will involve some prototyping and hence will require familiarity with computer-based IR techniques. The proposal and technical annexe are available on World Wide Web, the URL of the relevant page is http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/fermi/ please consult it for further details. The appointment will be for at least two years and full-time (or possibly part-time) and may be extended to a third year (subject to the availability of funds). The starting date for the RA is as soon as possible. I enclose the abstract from the proposal. "We propose in Project FERMI to develop a Retrieval Model for a new generation of IR systems handling every kind of data in any medium in an integrated manner through interaction with a user. The research will be conducted within a framework based on formal logics with associated theories of uncertainty. Retrieval will be viewed as a form of informative reasoning based on a notion of entailment subject to a measure of uncertainty, thus capturing quantitatively the probability of relevance of a stored object. The results of our research using suitable multimedia data will be tested within an experimental setting. The tests will use prototype implementations of algorithms whose computational complexity will have been investigated. An experimental design appropriate for large scale testing will specified so that our results will be reported with statistical validity." Please e-mail anne@dcs.glasgow.ac.uk if you wish to receive the official advert when it comes out. NB Please pass on this notice to other interested parties. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> | | | Keith van Rijsbergen | | Computing Science Dept | | Glasgow University | | Glasgow G12 8QQ | | Scotland, UK | | tel ++ (0)41 3304463 | | fax ++ (0)41 3304913 | | keith@dcs.glasgow.ac.uk | |<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< FORMAL ADVERT: UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTING SCIENCE RESEARCH ASSISTANT (1B) Applications are invited from a Computing Science graduate (or a graduate with equivalent experience) for an R.A. position on a EU-funded three years basic research project FERMI: Formalisation and Experimentation on the Retrieval of Multimedia Information. Further details can be found on World Wide Web, the URL of the relevant page is http://www.dcs.glasgow.ac.uk/fermi/ Preference will be given to candidates with some knowledge of formal logic, probability theory and computer-based IR techniques. The successful applicant will be responsible for prototyping some of the results of the research. Applicants should be prepared to travel within Europe since the project has partners in France, Germany and Italy. It is intended to make an appointment for at least two years. Consideration will be given to applicants wishing to work part-time. An application, enclosing C.V. and the names and addresses of two referees, should be sent to: Professor C.
