    Research Assistant - Chapel Hill, United States - University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

    Default job background
    Description

    A global higher education leader in innovative teaching, research and public service, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill consistently ranks as one of the nation's top public universities.

    Known for its beautiful campus, world-class medical care, commitment to the arts and top athletic programs, Carolina is an ideal place to teach, work and learn.


    One of the best college towns and best places to live in the United States, Chapel Hill has diverse social, cultural, recreation and professional opportunities that span the campus and community.


    University employees can choose from a wide range of professional training opportunities for career growth, skill development and lifelong learning and enjoy exclusive perks that include numerous retail and restaurant discounts, savings on local child care centers and special rates for performing arts events.

    Primary Purpose of Organizational Unit


    The Department of Computer Science is one of 16 science departments and curricula in the College of Arts and Sciences.

    It is a major teaching department with more than 30 tenured/tenure track faculty, nine research faculty, and 28 adjunct faculty, who serve more than a thousand undergraduate students and hundreds of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows.

    Our driving research ideal is collaboration-as it has been since the founding of our department in 1964.

    We believe that computer science's greatest purpose is in working with other scientists to solve problems in their own disciplines.

    Therefore, we actively seek opportunities to generate new research with our colleagues and with scientists in other departments across campus, including in science, medicine, and the humanities.

    Numerous computer science faculty members have adjunct or joint appointments in other departments, lead large interdisciplinary research groups, and collaborate with colleagues from multiple universities across the Research Triangle, the United States, and even the world.

    Position Summary


    Machine Learning has been evolving very rapidly and often people specialize models like LLama, and LLava to their specific applications to create domain-specialized models.

    The projects would revolve around the goal of recycling these existing models to create better modular models that are capable of solving unseen tasks and generalizing them to new datasets/domains in a zero/few-shot manner.

    Moreover, these models need to be continually adapted to new domains.

    The techniques involved would be around ideas related to Parameter Efficient finetuning, a Mixture of Expert models, Model Merging, and Composition.


    Research Areas:
    1. Enabling decentralized collaborative development of models, including modular architectures, cheaply-communicable updates, and merging methods 2. Developing generalist models by creating a Mixture of Expert Models system. 3. Continual Model Adaptation and Learning 4. Parameter and Compute efficiency.

    Minimum Education and Experience Requirements

    Bachelor's degree in a discipline related to the area of assignment; or equivalent combination of training and experience. All degrees must be received from appropriately accredited institutions.

    Required Qualifications, Competencies, and Experience


    • Strong analytical abilities to ask the right questions to come up with a hypothesis and then design experiments to test it.
    • Familiarity with deep learning programming frameworks like Pytorch and Huggingface libraries.
    Preferred Qualifications, Competencies, and Experience


    • Finished Undergraduate Degree in Computer Science
    • Strong foundation in machine learning and deep learning techniques. Familiarity with Model architectures like transformers, etc.
    • Candidates who are possibly interested in a research career or grad school (Master/PhD) or Machine Learning jobs in the future.
