Three Irish students will benefit from three-year PhD scholarships funded by Microsoft under its Research European PhD Scholarship Programme. The software company is also funding a PhD student from Poland in a separate DCU programme.
The three students, from three universities, were selected in a competitive call under the Embark Initiative, operated by the Irish Research Council for Science Engineering and Technology’s Postgraduate Scholarship Research Scheme.
The students’ research includes: modelling of protein structure by machine learning; describing an ad-hoc network that will allow nodes to share local information; improving machine learning and Treebank-based probabilistic parsing through wide-coverage lexical resources.
The scholarship students are: Cliona Roche, UCD; Eugene Marnane, Limerick; and Conor Cafferkey, DCU. A fourth PhD scholarship has been awarded to Karolina Owczarzak for research into a support system for machine translation called TransBooster.
