Postdoc Researcher Position in Large Language Models and Robot Learning
3 maanden geleden
Have you recently completed or are close to completion of your PhD? You have experience in areas such as Large Language Models, Representation Learning, Reinforcement Learning or Robotics?
Your functionWe are looking for a Postdoc with experience in Reinforcement Learning, Large Language Models or Robot Learning for our NWO-funded project “TeNet: Text-to-Network for Fast and Energy-Efficient Robot Control”. This project considers the use of embeddings and Large Language Models for the fast and energy-efficient generation of neural networks for robot control.
Your task will be to develop and evaluate a new LLM-driven approach for fast reinforcement learning with natural language instructions for application to continuous control and robotic tasks. This project includes a collaboration with Finnish AI researchers in Helsinki (Finnish Center for AI & Aalto University), for which we provide travel funds for a 1-2 month research stay, with the option of a secondment to extend the duration of this position.
Please note the short runtime of this High-Gain/High-Risk project (1 year).
