Research Associate in Machine Learning

2 months ago

Edinburgh, United Kingdom University of Edinburgh Full time

**UE07 £36,333 - £43,155 Per Annum**

**College of Science & Engineering / School of Engineering / Institute for Digital Communications**

**Fixed Term (up to 24 months)**

**Full time (35 hours per week)
**The Opportunity**:
Neural architecture search (NAS) algorithms aim to automate neural network architecture design, given a task. However, they are typically expensive, only search across narrow spaces of architectures, and are lacking in robustness. For these reasons (and others), manually designed architectures still dominate machine learning.

As part of the UPNAS project, the successful applicant will develop efficient NAS algorithms, explore how to generate diverse search spaces, and investigate the robustness and failure modes of NAS algorithms to make NAS a tool that can be used cheaply and reliably by a wide range of practitioners for new tasks.

The successful applicant will work closely with Dr Elliot J. Crowley and collaborate with colleagues in the Bayesian and Neural Systems Research Group and the Institute for Digital Communications (IDCOM).

This role is UE07 and is available on a fixed term basis for up to 24 months.

**Your skills and attributes for success**:

- A track record of publications at top-tier venues in ML-driven fields e.g. NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, AAAI, CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, IEEE PAMI, JMLR
- Strong programming skills and experience with ML frameworks in Python e.g. Pytorch, Tensorflow
- Excellent communication skills, both oral and written
- A demonstrable ability to work both individually and on collaborative research projects

Previous research experience in NAS or other areas of AutoML (e.g. hyperparameter optimisation, meta-learning) is desirable, but not essential.
