Job Description

  • You hold a PhD in natural language processing, machine learning, computational linguistics, or a related field, with peer-reviewed publications in the domain. 
  • You have a strong background in deep learning for natural language processing; experience with latent variable models and/or variational inference is a strong plus. 
  • You have excellent programming skills (Python, PyTorch) and experience with large-scale experimentation on GPU infrastructure. 
  • You have experience in guiding junior researchers, or the ambition to develop such experience.
  • You exhibit excellent proficiency in English and good oral and written communication skills.
  • Develop variational inference methods for transformer-based language models, informed by the latent structure of tensor factorization models. 
  • Investigate the interpretability of the resulting latent space, and its exploitation for creative language generation (metaphor, style). 
  • Collaborate close...
