<p>The Idiap Research Institute seeks qualified candidates for three
PhD student positions in deep learning for natural language, one
focussing on neuroscience and two focussing on representation
learning. These researchers will work with Dr. <a
href="https://www.idiap.ch/~jhenderson/">James Henderson</a> in
the <a
href="https://www.idiap.ch/en/scientific-research/natural-language-understanding">Natural
Language Understanding group</a>.</p>
<p>Idiap offers competitive salaries, a beautiful location, and a
world-class AI research community. PhD students are registered at
EPFL. The researcher in deep learning and the neuroscience of
language will work also in collaboration with Dr. Itsaso
Olasagasti of Univ. Geneva's Fundamental Neuroscience Dept and Dr.
Phil Garner of Idiap, and will benefit from visits to Campus
Biotech in Geneva. This position is part of the Swiss center of
excellence (NCCR) project: Evolving Language. The two researchers
in representation learning for NLP will be part of a Swiss NSF
project building on our recent Bayesian extension of Transformers.</p>
<p>The ideal PhD candidates should hold a Masters degree in computer
science, artificial intelligence, computational neuroscience, or
related fields. She or he should have a background in machine
learning, and experience in natural language processing or
computational neuroscience would be a plus. The applicant should
