This project, under EE Prof. Mari Ostendorf, involves automatic analysis of
multiparty text (e.g. wiki discussions) to extract information about social
interaction. The system involves communicating with a web server to exchange
information with collaborating researchers at other sites working with the
same data.
The candidate will be responsible for a variety of coding tasks, including:
- maintaining and making major modifications to a simple Tomcat-based web
service and its associated clients, using provided WSDLs
- interfacing the Tomcat-based web service with existing research software
written in C++, Java, and Perl
- using and modifying existing scripts to interface with a MySQL database
- running other custom software provided by the researchers.
The successful candidate must be fluent in Java, and comfortable with perl,
UNIX, and shell scripting. Tomcat and SOAP/HTTP experience is highly desired
(experience with Apache or other web servers may be substituted.) Experience
with MySQL and text processing techniques will be very helpful but not
required.
