Responsibilities

  • Implement uncertainty aware algorithms that improve the performance of transformer-based multi-task classifiers
  • Implement the changes end-to-end, including eval
  • Ensure both data and model implementation are correct according to the experiment plan. Pay attention to details about the mechanics of the modeling setup

Requirements

  • Currently enrolled in a PhD program in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related quantitative field
  • Strong programming proficiency in Python and hands-on experience with deep learning frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, JAX)
  • Solid theoretical understanding of machine learning and deep learning fundamentals, including debugging transformer based models with TensorBoard metrics
  • Familiarity with software development best practices, including version control

Preferred

  • Uncertainty measurement in deep learning model development

We prefer

Hands-on experience using data to improve model performance, as opposed to only focusing on architectural model improvements
