.Who are we looking for?The Sustainable Artificial Intelligence (SAI) unit is looking for a researcher with experience in machine learning for investigating on pervasive intelligence and the Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT). The researcher will carry out investigation on solutions suitable for advancing towards a truly pervasive and liquid AI enabling edge devices, to accomplish training and inference with the same accuracy of cloud AI without harming our environment. For doing so, the research will include highly efficient learning methods using model compression, reservoir and neuromorphic computing, and distributed/decentralized and collaborative data/client selection algorithms.More information on the research unit: https://www.Cttc.Cat/sustainable-artificial-intelligence-sai/ and https://supercom.Cttc.Es/.What do we offer?We offer a temporary position (24 months)Annual gross salary according to the profile of the candidateFull-time contract: 7.5 h/day.
