The Department of Computer Science, University of Bath invites
applications for a Research Assistant position in natural language
processing and machine learning.
This is an interdisciplinary project, which is part of a collaboration
between experts in forensic psychology, cyber-psychology and natural
language processing across Bath and Bath Spa Universities. This

persuasive dialogue, consisting of conversational moves and linguistic
strategies, which can be used to identify if and where persuasion is
taking place in dialogue. Specifically, the research will focus on
identification of attempts to persuade someone to act against their best
interests – e.g., in scam communications. Results from this research
will be integrated in the development of natural language processing and
machine-learning tools to support the automation of persuasive dialogue
detection within large corpora of texts.

field
