Two postdoctoral positions in abductive reasoning in natural language, Amsterdam (The Netherlands), Deadline: 5 Apr 2021

The Institute for Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC) at
the University of Amsterdam has two postdoc positions on
abductive reasoning in natural language. One with a duration
of three years, the other for 25 months.

The two positions are part of the NWO Open Competition
project 'A Sentence Uttered Makes a World Appear---Natural
Language Interpretation as Abductive Model Generation'. The
successful applicant will join the group of Reinhard
Muskens. The aim of the project is to explore how semantic
values are assigned to natural language expressions in a
compositional way and how the resulting values, represented
as logical expressions, are subsequently enriched by means
of abductive reasoning. The latter is studied in a tableaux
setting.

Further details on the three-year project (Computational
Modelling of Abductive Reasoning for Natural Language) can
be found here:

For the 25 months project (Abductive Inference for Natural
Language Interpretation), consult this site:

Deadline for both applications is 5 April 2021 (use the
"Apply now" link at one of the sites linked to above). Those
interested in each of the two positions need apply only
once.
