The UvA is responsible for the integration of navigational/structural queries and text search queries. The main research challenge is to deal with the uncertainty caused by methods from Information Retrieval, and the ranking of answers by relevance to a query.
The UvA is looking for a 4-year PhD student on this topic. Candidates should have a background in computer science or artificial intelligence and have affinity with large amounts of data, logic and information retrieval.
