About the Job

Requirements

  • The candidate must be pursuing a BAC+5-level education in applied mathematics and seeking a six-month internship.
  • The candidate should have knowledge of topological data analysis, ideally persistent homology or persistence diagrams.
  • The candidate should have knowledge of linear algebra, probability, statistics, or numerical optimization.
  • The candidate should have knowledge of Python.
  • The candidate should have knowledge of machine learning, neural networks, or object detection.
  • The candidate should have knowledge of quantization and rounding errors in numerical calculations.
  • The candidate should have knowledge of uncertainty or confidence in predictions.

Responsibilities

  • Study quantization methods and confidence measures used for vision networks.
  • Identify multiple ways to apply topological data analysis to quantization, such as using calibration data or prediction analysis.
  • Design one or more methods that use related measures to guide network quantization.
  • Evaluate the method on runway and runway-marker detection, then compare prediction quality, stability, and confidence before and after quantization, including against other state-of-the-art methods.

Desired Qualifications

  • Curiosity, critical thinking, autonomy, and rigor are valued.
