Natural Language Processing Research Engineer

NAVER LABS Europe

 

NAVER LABS Europe's mission is to advance the state-of-the-art in
Ambient Intelligence, while paving the way for these innovations into
a number of NAVER flagship products and services. This includes
research in models and algorithms to give humans faster and better
access to data and to allow them to interact with technology in
simpler and more natural ways.

We are looking for applications from research scientists at all levels
(from post-docs to senior scientists) to make outstanding
contributions to the invention, development and benchmarking of
natural language processing techniques for modeling text, information
extraction, machine translation, opinion mining, multi-modal dialogue,
question & answering, information retrieval and interactive learning.

Requirements:

- Masters in natural language processing (NLP), machine learning or
               computer science.

- Excellent development skills (in python, and at least one of C, C++,
 Java or Go) and knowledge of relevant frameworks (spacy, sklearn,
 tensorflow, (py)torch, etc).

- Knowledge of best practices regarding applying statistical and deep
  learning methods to NLP.

- Comfortable working in a research environment.

- Plusses: PhD in NLP, machine learning or computer
science. Publication record in top-tier NLP, information retrieval or
machine learning conferences.

About NAVER LABS

NAVER LABS is an ambient intelligence company owned by NAVER
Corporation, Korea's leading internet company. NAVER operates the
nation's top search portal "NAVER," and other innovative services in
the global market including mobile messenger LINE, video messenger
SNOW and community app BAND. It has annual revenue of more than 3
billion euros.

NAVER LABS is a world class team of self-motivated and highly engaged
researchers, engineers and interface designers collaborating together
to create next generation ambient intelligence technology and services
that are rich with the organic understanding they have of users, their
contexts and situations.

Since 2013 the LABS have led NAVER's innovation in technology through
products such as the AI-based translation app `Papago', the
omni-tasking web browser `Whale', the virtual AI assistant `WAVE',
AMBIDEX, the biologically-inspired robotic arm, in-vehicle information
entertainment system `AWAY' and AROUND, the 3D indoor mapping robot.

We look for people who like to take on new challenges, who collaborate beyond team boundaries and who believe in user value.  We're working toward creating a better world where people can focus on what's important in life rather than having to spend time constantly learning new tools.

Join us and `Never stop dreaming...

NAVER LABS Europe has positions, Ph.D and PostDoc opportunities
throughout the year which are advertised here and on international
conference sites that we sponsor such as CVPR, ICCV, NIPS, EMNLP
etc. Internships are posted on a separate page.

The Labs are in Grenoble in the French Alps. We have a multi and
interdisciplinary approach to research with scientists in machine
learning, computer vision, artificial intelligence, data analytics,
natural language processing, ethnography and UX working together to
create next generation ambient intelligence technology and services
that deeply understand users and their contexts.
