The SciPlore team at Google HQ in Mountain View, CA
Our partnering research group SciPlore, from which Docear evolved, in cooperation with the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) is offering a paid internship for a Bachelor student in the field of computer science. Prerequisite for applying is that you are a student studying at a German university (if you are from the US, UK, or Canada, read here). More details on prerequisites here.
SciPlore is an international team of researchers affiliated with the University of Magdeburg in Germany and the University of California, Berkeley. As an intern, you will have the chance to spend 6-12 weeks abroad at a research institute collaborating with the SciPlore research team.
SciPlore researches novel approaches in citation and semantic text analysis for quantifying similarities between scientific articles. Similarity assessments are crucial to many Information Retrieval (IR) tasks, such as clustering of documents, recommending academic literature, or automatically detecting plagiarism.
Below is a screenshot of CitePlag – the first prototype of a citation-based plagiarism detection system, which the researchers at SciPlore developed. To see what CitePlag can do, check it out for yourself on a real plagiarism case that translated from Chinese, or on a plagiarized medical publication that was retracted with the help of CitePlag.
