Dear all
May I promote an opportunity for a fully funded PhD studentship available through the *Information School, University of Sheffield*. The post is related to using Natural Language Processing, Data Mining and Machine Learning to mine health related information from the Social Web. I will be most grateful if you could also help distribute this:
'Mining health information on the Social Web – towards an understanding of the influence of social media on public healthcare', see details at: https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/is/pgr/epsrc-dtp.
In short:
The project will develop natural language processing and machine learning methods to mine health related facts mentioned from heterogeneous social media resources, and integrate and link them in a structured Knowledge Graph (KG). The KG will capture the health information on the social Web in a structured way, facilitating complex, structured queries and ultimately enabling the first crucial steps towards a quantitative and qualitative analysis of health information from the social Web.
This is a fully funded (tuition + stipend) 3.5 years PhD studentship with an excellent opportunity to develop knowledge and experience in the area of health informatics, working with well known scholar such as Professor Peter Bath. Also that PhD experience is usually counted as real work experience. Please read carefully the 'Eligibility' section before you apply, because EPSRC typically only funds UK and EU (with constraints) students.
Please do not hesitate to get in touch for an informal chat if interested.
Kind regards
