Subject: [ISMIR-Community] FW: Research Position (RA or PDRA) in Artificial From: Mark Sandler <mark.sandler@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 27 Feb 2025 13:51:01 +0000--_000_DU0PR07MB8619DDFDEFAAAF2191CE6A9ABBCD2DU0PR07MB8619eurp_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable [Please forward to anyone you think would be interested and suitable.] If you are interested in helping to solve the mysteries of how Deep Learnin= g works, then read on - this may be for you! We have coined the term =E2=80=9CArtificial Neuroscience=E2=80=9D to convey= the influence of paradigms from conventional neuroscience on Deep Learning= research. This position explores the use of Linear Algebra (e.g. tensor de= composition) to measure and understand the learning and inference processes= of DL =E2=80=9Cartificial brains=E2=80=99, using this to engineer new, eff= icient ways to (re-)build those models. The project is a collaboration between the Centre for Digital Music (School= of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science) and the School of Mathemat= ical Sciences and has the support of an internationally acclaimed Advisory = Board. This pilot study will not only study fundamental aspects of Ai, it w= ill also apply the newly developed techniques =E2=80=93 where plausible =E2= =80=93 to real world problems in audio and music. We expect to uncover emer= gent structure in Deep Learning models and explore new architectures to bui= ld them. We expect to learn how to build more efficient and effective learn= ing machines. The ideal candidate will hold a PhD or possess equivalent experience and kn= owledge, with proficiency in Linear Algebra and deep learning model trainin= g. Experience in applying these skills to audio is a plus.
