Associate - Assistant Professor in the field of artificial intelligence for semantic and multi-modal multimedia analysis

Job description

CONTEXT

The targeted research theme concerns the field of artificial intelligence, applied to the semantic analysis of massive, distributed and heterogeneous multimedia data. This concerns the automatic, multi-modal interpretation of complex audio-visual documents, computer vision, multimedia indexation, knowledge extraction and machine learning methodologies. The expected contributions will focus on deep neural network learning methods and target the entire multimedia content processing chain.

The missions within Télécom SudParis include:

• - design and implementation of courses in artificial intelligence for the school's various training tracks (initial engineering training, apprenticeship, Master programs),
• - supervision of researchers (trainees, Ph.D. students, post-docs, R&D engineers) and
• - development of contractual relations with French/European academic and industrial partners.

EXPECTED PROFILE

The candidates should present teaching experience in higher education. They are required good knowledge of methodologies related to multimedia content analysis and notably in-depth scientific knowledge of deep and non-deep machine learning techniques, as well as associated software development tools and environments (tensorflow/keras frameworks, pytorch, specialized Python libraries).

In addition, they should have a very good, high quality publication productivity, in line with IP Paris recruitment policy and allowing immediate integration into the SAMOVAR laboratory. A research experience and publications with multiple teams, or an experience with an international team, is highly welcome. Finally, prior experience in the field of collaborative research and setting up of collaborative projects is highly appreciated.
