Commitment & contract: up to 2 years, collaboration contract
Location: Italian Institute of Technology (IIT), Genoa, Via Enrico Melen 83, Italy
WHO WE ARE
At IIT we work enthusiastically to develop human-centered Science and
Technology to tackle some of the most pressing societal challenges of
our times and transfer these technologies to the society. Our Genoa
headquarter is strictly inter-connected with our
11 centres around Italy and two outer-stations based in the US for a
truly interdisciplinary experience.
YOUR TEAM
You’d be working in the multicultural and multidisciplinary PAVIS group,
where a team of 30 international Researchers, Postdocs, Ph.D. and
Engineers enjoy working in cutting-edge Computer Vision and Machine
Learning research. PAVIS infrastructure comprises
a multi-modal sensor network (RGB, depth, event-based, thermal, lidar
cameras) used for deploying AI systems for scene understanding and
behavioural analysis and the availability of an HPC with more than 62
GPU nodes to run large scale training and deployment
of ML models.
The PAVIS Research Line is coordinated by Dr. Alessio Del Bue. The
research focuses on developing novel Artificial Intelligence (AI)
systems to understand our 3D physical space and the human behaviours
within it. The aim is to create assistive AI systems that
can automatically react and support humans in their daily life by
analysing and forecasting activities and their interaction with the
environment. We work towards this goal by developing new Computer Vision
and Machine (Deep) Learning methodologies that can
be readily deployed in realistic applications.
The specific research topics of interest for this call are:
- Object 3D localization from multi-modal sensors
- Semantic Structure from Motion and SLAM
- 2D/3D scene understanding using Graph Neural Networks
- Deep learning models subject to multi-view geometry constraints
- Retrieval and Knowledge-based Computer Vision in large-scale 3D maps
Within the team, your main responsibilities will be:
- Develop new methods for 3D scene understanding from multi-modal data
(images, audio, and text) to solve practical problems in Computer Vision
- Publish in top-tier Computer Vision and Machine Learning conferences and journals
WHAT WOULD MAKE YOU SHINE
- A PhD in Computer vision, including Machine Learning, Robotics, or similar disciplines
- Documented experience on 3D vision, scene understanding and related fields
- A strong publication record
- Excellent programming skills in Python and/or C/C++
- The ability to properly report, organize and publish research data
- Good command in spoken and written English
EXTRA AWESOME
- Experience in collaborative software development. Good knowledge of tools like GIT
- Experience in Linux operating system and familiarity with deep
learning libraries and dependencies (CUDA, Pytorch, Pytorch3D,
Tensorflow, Tensorflow3D)
- Experience on DNN and Graph Neural Networks
- Experience in deploying DNN models on HPC platforms
- Good communication skills
- Strong problem-solving attitude
- High motivation to learn
- Good in time and priority management
- Ability to work in a challenging and international environment
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a highly interdisciplinary environment
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
- Competitive salary package for international standards
- Private health care coverage
- Wide range of staff discounts
