Department of Information Systems at Poznan University of Economics,
Poland is looking for an active researcher for a 4-months stay.
The researcher will be funded by FP6 Marie Curie Host Fellowship for the
Transfer of Knowledge under the project ENIRAF – Enhanced Information
Retrieval and Filtering for Analytical Systems
(http://eniraf.mis.ae.poznan.pl/). Focus of the research in this project
is on ontologies, web services and the Semantic Web for information
filtering.
One of the current research topics in our Department is integration of
information that is investigated in INTEGROR project
(http://integror.net/). It focuses in particular on the Deep Web as a
source of information and state-of-the-art techniques (including XML,
XPath, ontologies, visual region recognition) for extracting and
integrating that information.
The motivation is as follows. When preparing a standard report the
analysts need to repeat many times the same activities: go to the same
pages, check if anything changed, copy the required information or post
the same query to retrieve results hidden behind a Web form. If new
sources appear, they need to be discovered and added to the list of
checked Web pages, or manually programmed to provide structured information.
The goal of this four-month position is to develop a framework and a
prototype to support the scenario described above, preferably in Web 2.0
style. Therefore, the successful candidate needs to possess analytical
and programming skills. Some useful skills/knowledge includes: RDF, OWL,
microformats, Web 2.0 developments (AJAX). She/he will collaborate with
a local team (consisting of faculty and students) that has strong
interest in described topic and is already experienced in: information
integration, information extraction, shallow text processing, spatial
and temporal ontologies, and ontology evolution.
The focus is on collaboration and transfer of knowledge, which includes
preparation of workshops for faculty and lectures for students. To
conform to the overall enIRaF project’s objectives the results of this
work package should contribute to enhanced information filtering
techniques. The incoming researcher, together with the co-operating
team, will prepare a publication in a recognized journal or at least a
chapter in an edited book, to show the results of the project.
To be eligible for this action you have to be an experienced researcher.
Experienced researchers are defined as researchers having at least 4 and
no more than 10 years of research experience since gaining a university
diploma or researchers already in possession of a doctoral degree.
