All,

A Swarthmore alumn recently contacted us to advertise a summer 
internship / full-time position.  Please see below!

Cheers,

Zach



Hi,

I'm an alum who works at a company in the Boston area called BBN and I 
am part of a group does grant-funded research in natural language 
processing (NLP) and machine learning.  I currently have multiple 
projects starting up that could support a summer intern and/or a full 
time hire.  They involve:

- Using NLP to extract information from the dark web to enable the 
detection of cyberattacks.  E.g., if you knew where to look could you 
have foreseen and prevented the Equifax attack?
- Building a tool to help people use a prediction market to try to 
forecast future events.
- Extracting competing narratives from news stories in an attempt to 
determine what is real and what is fake.

If any of the above sounds interesting to you, please contact me for 
more details (roger at bbn.com <mailto:roger at bbn.com>).  Besides fun and 
challenging work, we've got various perks like a gym, a foosball table, 
free snacks, weekly board games, etc.

Required:
- Able to program in Java or Python, preferably both

Bonus:
- Familiarity with natural language processing and/or machine learning
- Prior experience with Git and/or Maven
- Understanding of linguistics
