A propos du centre ou de la direction fonctionnelle

The Inria Saclay-Île-de-France Research Centre was established in 2008. It has developed as part of the Saclay site in partnership with Paris-Saclay University and with the Institut Polytechnique de Paris .

The centre has 40 projet teams, 27 of which operate jointly with Paris-Saclay University and the Institut Polytechnique de Paris; Its activities occupy over 600 people, scientists and research and innovation support staff, including 44 different nationalities.

Contexte et atouts du poste

We are a small team of PhD students, post-docs and permanent members interested into Frugal AI, with expertise in machine learning, optimization, open-source library managing, etc.

We have a GPU cluster, and the national cluster Jean Zay is available as well (with ~3000 GPU cards).

This project is part of a European project, named MANOLO.

Mission confiée

The person recruited will work on Frugal AI, and more precisely on Neural Architecture Growth, both on theoretical and practical aspects, to be able to develop architectures that develop on the fly while training and thus spare computational resources needed by classical Neural Architecture Search (whether manual or automated).

The person recruited is expected to collaborate with PhD students, to take part to their supervision, to take initatives to develop the topic, and to follow the literature

Principales activités

The main task is to contribute to theoretical developments of the topic (optimization, searching for growth strategies), to the open-source library of the team, and to the team's social and daily life.

It is also expected to take part to writing papers and deliverables that are required by the European project, which correspond to the advancement of the state of the project.

Compétences

Expected skills :

- machine learning (neural networks...)
- maths (statistics, analysis, etc.)
- optimization (gradient descent, ...)
- programming (python, PyTorch)

Avantages

- Subsidized meals
- Partial reimbursement of public transport costs
- Leave: 7 weeks of annual leave + 10 extra days off due to RTT (statutory reduction in working hours) + possibility of exceptional leave (sick children, moving home, etc.)
- Possibility of teleworking (after 6 months of employment) and flexible organization of working hours
- Professional equipment available (videoconferencing, loan of computer equipment, etc.)
- Social, cultural and sports events and activities
- Access to vocational training
- Social security coverage
