<p>As part of the ERC Advanced grant BALM, Idiap Research Institute
seeks qualified candidates for a postdoctoral researcher position
to work on representation learning and novel large language model
architectures (LLMs), with Dr. James Henderson in the <a
href="https://www.idiap.ch/en/scientific-research/natural-language-understanding"
moz-do-not-send="true">Natural Language Understanding group</a>.
This researcher will investigate memory-augmented LLMs (e.g. RAG)
using our recent results in knowledge-graph embedding and
representation learning with our variational-Bayesian theory of
how transformers represent information, leading to novel
applications and their evaluation.</p>
<p>Idiap offers competitive salaries, a beautiful location, a stable
and safe democratic society, and a world-class AI research
community. <br>
</p>
<p>The ideal Postdoc candidate should have finished, or be close to
finishing, a PhD dissertation on a topic in machine learning,
artificial intelligence or natural language processing. She or he
should have a strong background in machine learning or natural
language processing, with good programming skills.</p>
<p>Please <a

questions related to these positions should be sent to Dr. James
Henderson (<a
