Phd Position Foundation Models for Autonomous
4 weken geleden
**PhD Position Foundation Models for Autonomous Vehicle Perception**:
**Job description**:
Autonomous vehicles have been shown to underperform when deployed on conditions that differ substantially from the training conditions, so-called domain gaps. These domain gaps can include deployment in different regions, weather or using different sensors. Numerous domain adaptation methods have been proposed to bridge these domain gaps and let the model operate well on the target data. In this project we seek to find an intermediate representation for data coming from varied sources. By bringing new data into this representation, we overcome domain gaps and are able to train models that are robust to different conditions, also referred to as foundation models. While foundation models have achieved widespread success on images and text, currently few exist for lidar and radar data, making this a promising research direction. These foundation models will bring superior performance and allow us to utilize data from varied sources, thus reducing the data collection and labeling costs.
Your results will be published in top tier conferences like CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, ICRA and NeurIPS. For your work you will have access to the compute resources of TU Delft, ranging from personal machines, to shared GPU servers, the Delft AI Cluster that is shared across departments, as well as DelftBlue, which is one of the top 250 supercomputers in the world. Your main supervisor will be Dr. Holger Caesar, creator of the nuScenes dataset and co-author of the PointPillars method for lidar-based object detection. You will receive hands-on mentoring for your career development.
**Job requirements**:
- We are seeking PhD applicants with an interest in performing cutting edge research in an active and exciting research area.
- Prospective applicants should have a strong academic record with a solid background in sensor processing (vision/radar/lidar, sensor fusion) and Machine Learning (Deep Learning, domain adaptation, foundation models).
- Good programming skills (Python/Matlab) and knowledge of deep-learning frameworks (PyTorch/TensorFlow) are expected.
- A certain affinity towards turning complex concepts into real-world practice (i.e. vehicle demonstrator) is desired.
- Good English skills are required.
- The work takes place in Delft, The Netherlands, but allows for working two days per week from home.
