Overview

As a Chinese (Singapore) Linguistic Expert, you will assess how an LLM handles Singaporean Chinese in tasks such as translation, summarization, dialogue, and grammar correction. You will also refine and annotate language data, then share findings with AI researchers to support model training and improve its Chinese comprehension and writing. The position is remote and part-time, and focuses on Simplified Chinese usage in Singapore.

What You'll Do5

  • Review LLM-generated Chinese text for accuracy and quality across translation, summarization, dialogue, and grammar correction.
  • Edit or rewrite Chinese content to reflect Singaporean linguistic and cultural standards.
  • Label Chinese text for grammatical, syntactic, and semantic features.
  • Spot model errors and language gaps, and work with AI researchers on ways to improve performance.
  • Provide detailed linguistic analysis and feedback to inform ongoing model training.

Requirements7

  • Native or near-native fluency in Chinese as used in Singapore, with strong command of grammar, syntax, and style.
  • Professional experience in Chinese translation, editing, linguistic annotation, or NLP data work.
  • Knowledge of Singaporean Simplified Chinese, including regional variation, register, and context-appropriate usage.
  • Ability to distinguish Singaporean usage from Mainland Chinese, Taiwanese, and Hong Kong usage.
  • Professional fluency in English.
  • Careful attention to subtle language errors and unnatural phrasing.
  • Clear communication skills and experience working with distributed, remote teams.

Preferred Qualifications1

  • Interest in AI and LLM-based language technology.

Who Should Apply

A Chinese language specialist with professional translation, editing, annotation, or NLP data experience will bring relevant expertise. Candidates should understand how Singaporean Chinese differs from other regional forms and communicate findings clearly in English.
