Brain-Score Research Scientist 1 - Cambridge, United States - Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Description

in neurobiology, computer science, machine learning, or related field; two years' related experience, including programming experience in Python; experience with software development practices, including git-based version control and CI/CD; excellent project-management, analytical, problem-solving, organizational, decision-making, and written and verbal English communication skills; and ability to work with people across all levels in a highly dynamic hybrid environment.

experience in at least two of the following: computer vision, optimization, natural language understanding, collecting and analyzing behavioral data, collecting and analyzing neural data, and/or high-performance distributed computing; research experience developing and testing machine learning models and models of the brain and cognition; and familiarity with cloud platforms.

BRAIN-SCORE RESEARCH SCIENTIST, MIT Quest for Intelligence, to perform research to continue the development and expansion of Brain-Score, a platform that evaluates computational models on their alignment to neural and behavioral brain data in the domains of vision and language.

Will collaborate with the international Brain-Score community to identify and carry out enabling research contributing to our understanding of the alignment of computational models to data collected from humans and non-human primates, allowing a deeper understanding of areas of similarity and difference.

Responsibilities include carrying out experimentslargely digital in naturedesigned to compare and contrast AI models of vision and language with both neural and behavioral data; expanding and further developing the Brain-Score platform to enable comparisons, at scale, of models to experimental data; collaborating on specific research thrusts that result in new metrics, data, and computational models; evangelizing the platform by publishing in leading journals, presenting at conferences, and participating in workshops utilizing Brain-Score; and other duties as assigned.
