We are looking to take one student for approximately 3 to 6 months at
Xerox Research Centre Europe, located in France. The student should be a
good quality Masters in software engineering. Experience in Eclipse and
Java technology is important. Students should be fluent in English or
French.
Title: Does Eclipse fit for document conversion?
Proposal: The Document Structure research group at Xerox Research Centre
Europe is interested in mining large collections of unstructured documents
and in recovering a meaningful structure for all these documents. As an
example, we work with large legacy collections of PDF business documents
that should be converted in XML with a customer-specific schema. Such
conversion tasks involve using multiple tools and techniques ranging from
developing components from standard technologies (e.g. Relax schema
conception, XSLT transformation) up to highly specific pieces, many of
them being researched and developed in our lab, together with a particular
methodology. However, the setting up of a conversion platform today
remains difficult and deserves some more support. Therefore we are
interested in this project in exploring the use of the Eclipse open source
environment for tying together existing and envisioned conversion
components.
The objective of the project is to identify the desired functions the
platform should provide and explore how the Eclipse environment can
satisfy them.
This internship will deliver a proof of concept prototype and can fit for
one or two students at their last year of engineering school or masters
students, preferably experienced with Java and Eclipse.
XRCE provides an informal and relaxed working environment situated in the
Parc de Maupertuis in Meylan, France. The successful students will be
given the freedom and flexibility to find their own solutions and to work
in a way that suits them but will have the guidance and support of
experienced full-time Xerox researchers and thereby gain an introduction
to the field of commercial research in a world-class research laboratory.
The project is part of the Document Structure research area.
