Machine Learning Engineer, NLP

About us:

sci.AI is a platform for researchers to uncover hypotheses and find new applications of existing biomedical discoveries. Its technology applies natural language processing to read scientific papers and reveals the relationships among points of interest with the help of AI reasoning methods.

Job description:

We are looking for the machine learning engineer with a specialization in natural language processing. Areas of particular interest include application of neural networks for semantic parsing, clustering of the structured and unstructured textual data and fuzzy reasoning.

You will be part of the R&D team of the sciAI and collaborate with engineers of Xpansa, pharma companies and scientists. Daily tasks will include but not limited to implementation of the algorithms to process textual data and reason through the semantic graph, support biologists in conducting knowledge-based research and designing methods of artificial cognition.

Active interest in biomedical progress is a must to share common motivation with the whole team.

Education:

… MS/PhD in Computer Science, Math, Physics, Engineering, Statistics or other technical field;

Experience and Skills:

… Familiarity with languages for statistical & scientific computing, such as the Python, R, Scala and associated libraries;
