Speech and Language Processing

Tufts University has an opening for a post-doctoral researcher to engage in a cross-cutting project focusing on the development of and use of Natural Language Processing (NLP) for social sciences applications. Recent advances, starting with the now classical word2vec approach to models built using attention and transformer networks such as BERT and GTP3 have shown tremendous potential for natural language modeling and automated interpretation.
