Upcoming Project – Vision-Language Models

(Currently recruiting a PhD student and Postdoc)

In this project, the selected candidate will join us in conducting fundamental machine learning research and developing principled foundations of vision-language models, with opportunities to validate the methods on challenging real-world problems involving computer vision. There will be a strong focus on deep learning, image analysis and neural language modeling within the project. Some topics of interest within the project scope include, but are not limited to, designing efficient algorithms for integration of visual and textual modalities, aligning visual and text embeddings into a cohesive embedding space and representation learning. We will consider various forms of data, including text, images and videos.

Technical keywords for the position include: deep learning, image analysis, representation learning and language modeling.

The project is a part of the Beijer Laboratory for Artificial Intelligence Research, funded by Kjell and Märta Beijer Foundation. The Beijer Laboratory for Artificial Intelligence Research was established in 2023 at Uppsala University with an ambition to grow activities within the subject of AI, focusing on applications in the life sciences and questions related to societal development.
