Description

‍

‍

You are in your final years of a PhD programme in Machine Learning, Statistics, Computer Vision or NLP, and have already published some of your work at major conferences in the field. During your time with us, you will continue sharpening your research skills, as we go through the various collaborative stages of an ML research project. Identifying a promising research opportunity, reviewing SoTA methods and relevant literature, crafting novel approaches, implementing them as code prototypes, planning and running large-scale experiments across multi-node, multi-GPU systems, writing a paper, and seeing it through to submission. Topics of interest include but are not limited to generative modelling (diffusions, discrete diffusions, flows, transport) optimization (e.g. bi- and multi-level programming, scaling laws for NN training, parameterization), uncertainty quantification, data-centric ML (curriculum learning, data reweighting). You’ll also have the opportunity to collaborate further with MLR colleagues outside of Paris on the project. Ultimately, you will work towards publishing new findings arising from the project, either or both as open source code and publications.
