Phd Position in Artificial Intelligence for
5 maanden geleden
Traditional handwritten text recognition (HTR) approaches ignore the multimodal characteristics of historical manuscripts. Moreover, they underestimate problems at the level of layout analysis, the detection of the logical reading order over a scanned page of text, and the recognition of textual and graphic patterns with a special meaning (headings, illuminated capitals, repetitive administrative forms, tables, and other markers). In order to exploit deep learning in these areas, it is necessary to have ‘humans in the loop’, who not only label characters and words and transcribe lines of text but also train the machine to analyse images in a multifaceted manner. The knowledge harvested in this manner is immediately usable to improve the recognition quality of traditional HTR algorithms.
We are looking for a highly motivated and qualified PhD student/researcher who will work towards developing new (machine learning and deep learning-based) algorithms and procedures that exploit human labelling and machine-based clustering efficiently. Human labelling (from Dutch cultural heritage partners) will address not only text but also other multimodal attributes of scanned text images (layout, graphics). The ultimate goal is to realize AI systems with a deep understanding of what a document is about.
The PhD researcher will work within the HAICu research project. HAICu (digital Humanities - Artificial Intelligence - Cultural heritage) project is a large-scale Dutch research project by universities and cultural-heritage institutions into new forms of Artificial Intelligence-based access to multimodal Cultural-Heritage data, both contemporary and historical. Within HAICu, AI researchers, Digital Humanities researchers, and a wide range of public and private partners will co-develop scientific solutions to unlock the true societal potential of the current heterogeneous digital heritage collections. It will provide easier, richer, and more reliable data access to citizens, journalists, civic organisations, and various other stakeholders.
Within the dynamic HAICu team, the PhD researcher will participate in Work Package 2, titled Continual Machine Learning and Humans in the Loop. In this Work Package, we will collaborate with digital humanities researchers from the University of Twente and partners from Dutch cultural heritage institutions, such as the Nationaal Archief, Collectie Overijssel, and Groninger Archieven.
In addition to publishing scientific articles, the researcher is expected to make the developed algorithms available to academic and institutional project partners under open-access conditions.
Founded in 1614, the University of Groningen enjoys an international reputation as a dynamic and innovative institution of higher education, offering high-quality teaching and research. Flexible study programmes and academic career opportunities in various disciplines encourage the 35,000 students and researchers alike to develop their talents. As one of the best research universities in Europe, the University of Groningen has joined forces with other top universities and networks worldwide to become a truly global center of knowledge.
**Qualifications**:
- a (research) master's degree (or equivalent) in Artificial Intelligence or Computer Science (or a related discipline with specialisation in machine learning or computer vision)
- good programming skills and hands-on experience with machine learning techniques and deep neural networks
- excellent problem-solving and analytical skills
- high motivation to work in multidisciplinary contexts
- an integrative and cooperative personality with excellent communication and social skills
- fluent proficiency in English - written and oral.
