The Machine Learning Department in Princeton, NJ, has openings for researchers with a passion for developing the next generation of machine intelligence. Expertise in machine learning with an proven track record of original research as well as a keen sense for developing practical applications are prerequisites for this position. One opening is at the level of research staff member, the second one for a postdoc position. At NEC Laboratories America (http://www.nec-labs.com) we pursue forward looking research, and our nine departments cover a broad range of technologies in computer and communication science. Our focus is on projects in high-impact areas where creative research can provide strong support for NEC’s business. The Machine Learning department has been at the forefront of research in such areas as deep learning, support vector machines and semantic analysis for over a decade. Many technologies developed in our group have been integrated into innovative products and services of NEC, such as systems for recruiting, surveillance, sonar detection, and digital pathology. In addition to contributing to NEC’s business, our research is published in premier venues. Among the challenges we are tackling now is how to move machine learning to more abstract reasoning and how this can enable new applications in traffic safety, video surveillance, human resource management, and automation of manufacturing. http://www.nec-labs.com/research-departments/machine-learning/machine-learning-home |
