NoOffer DescriptionThis position entails working in the project V4NN, a collaborative project funded by the Fundamentos Research Program of the BBVA Foundation. This program aims to support exploratory research into central or foundational questions within a scientific field or at the intersection of several disciplines. Within the area of Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, and Artificial Intelligence, the project "Harnessing Vision Science to Overcome the Critical Limitations of Artificial Neural Networks (V4NN)," co-directed by Marcelo Bertalmío of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), was selected in the last call for proposals.The fundamental question this project addresses is how to overcome the most critical limitations of artificial neural networks (ANNs), limitations that can be characterized as an inability to emulate basic human vision skills.Despite significant advances in deep learning-based computer vision systems, many limitations still exist. The main objective of this project is to advance the state of the art of deep learning-based computer vision systems, improving their accuracy, robustness, efficiency, and providing better explainability. We target the core of deep neural networks and propose a new bio-inspired artificial neuron model, improving the building blocks of deep learning systems.The tasks to be performed with the contract are the following:Design new components for ANNs using cutting-edge vision science findings and techniques that go beyond the standard model.Optimize ANN components using key experimental results from visual psychophysics as training data.Validate and fine-tune the new ANNs for core computer vision problems.Write scientific articles and present at conferences.RequirementsResearch Field All Education Level Master Degree or equivalentSkills/Qualifications- Masters degree in Data Science, Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Mathematics, or related discipline.Specific Requirements- Experience in programming artificial neural networks.Languages ENGLISH Level ExcellentAdditional InformationSelection process#J-*****-Ljbffr ## Related Videos - [Focoos AI: Building the Future of Computer Vision](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1659-focoos-ai-building-the-future-of-computer-vision) - [Getting Started with Machine Learning](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/260-getting-started-with-machine-learning) - [Photonic Computing: Programming a New Class of AI Accelerators (incl.
