The NICTA Interactive Information Discovery and Delivery Project is based in the Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering at the University of Melbourne. The aim of the I2D2 project is to explore how intelligent linguistic and geospatial analysis of queries and content can enhance the ability of a basic search engine to fullfill a user's information need. This project will involve the development of scalable and robust natural language processing, knowledge discovery, and information presentation technologies for multimodal data on a variety of devices. This project has funding for Masters and PhD scholarships in the following core areas: - geospatial and temporal expression recognition and resolution - geospatial and temporal information retrieval and filtering - interactive question-biased multi-document summarisation - rhetorical structure, document structure and layout - natural interaction, dialogue, speech, multimodality, user modelling - statistical machine learning as applied to natural language processing - high performance computing for large-scale information retrieval - language technology integration with mobile computing devices Project participants include: Timothy Baldwin, James Bailey, Steven Bird, Lawrence Cavedon, Baden Hughes, Alistair Moffat, Nicola Stokes, Peter Stuckey, and Egemen Tanin. Stipends of up to AUD $24,000 per annum (tax free) are available for high-achieving students commencing a Masters by research or a PhD. In some cases a fee remission scholarship may be offered to overseas students. For students who successfully obtain other scholarships, such as the Australian Postgraduate Award (APA), NICTA funded top-up scholarships may be available.
