Basic knowledge of signal processing and programming skill on Matlab are required. Basic knowledge of signal processing and programming skill on Matlab are required. Basic knowledge of pattern recognition and programming skill on Matlab are required. This internship involves implementing in a functional programming language semantic rules for some fragments of English (and possibly other languages) that have recently been put forward by various researchers. Candidates should have rudimentary knowledge of natural language semantics, as found in, e.g., Heim and Kratzer's textbook. Previous experience with at least one programming language (not necessarily functional) is required.
