Temporary Position with Irish Times - Semantic Content Enrichment

The Irish Times have a temporary (8-12 weeks) role for an individual interested in the data mining/ semantic web / natural language processing/document classification space.

This will be part of a large project in which t the system that produces the newspaper and the system that produces the website will be replaced with an integrated CMS. They are also installing a Semantic Content Enrichment system called Temis into theeditorial workflow.  Temis will perform entity-extraction services over unstructured article data sets and suggest people, places, companies, organisations, stock-tickers and categories.

The role to train the Temis engine is in two parts:

1)     Load up as many dictionary terms we can find , particularly relating to Irish localisation

      e.g. Dail, Taoiseach

2)   The more involved task of training the engine to recognise Irish Times articles and

      categorise them as per an agreed Irish Times topic list e.g. Articles about the Central

      Mental Hospital in Dundurm should be categorised under Mental Health.
