Postdoc position: Temporal data integration for developmental biology
Jan 1 – Jan 2 all-day

Offre en lien avec l’Action/le Réseau : – — –/– — –

Laboratoire/Entreprise : Université Aix-Marseille
Durée : 2 ans
Contact : Paul.villoutreix@univ-amu.fr
Date limite de publication : 2022-01-01

Contexte :
Recent years have witnessed an explosion of data in biology and medicine. Many acquisition techniques, like microscopy or sequencing techniques, provide complementary views of the same system, e.g. an organ, an embryo, a tumor. To understand the dynamics happening at single cell resolution and develop new personalized treatments, we need to integrate these complementary sources of information. To tackle this problem, this project aims at developing new Temporal Data Integration theoretical and computational methods for various complementary acquisition techniques (microscopy, and multi-omics).

Sujet :
When studying a biological system such as a developing embryo, many acquisition techniques are available. Each of them brings out unique features of the system, however, they are often incompatible and cannot be performed at the same time. To address this challenge we need to develop multi-domain integration techniques. Current approaches rely either on the tools of optimal transport, or multiple autoencoders, however, they are not designed to address temporal data. With this project, we propose to take advantage of multi-domain dynamical data in high-dimensional spaces to infer a dynamical coupling between sequencing data acquisition techniques (such as sc-RNASeq) and microscopy data. This will include theoretical work and computational experiments on artificial and real data. The results of the project are expected to have large impact in the machine learning community and be of wide applicability in real world biological problems. The scientific environment for this project is ideal as it combines expertise in interdisciplinary approaches of machine learning applied to biological data, and expertise in theoretical machine learning.

Profil du candidat :
We are looking for a PhD in machine learning, computer science, applied mathematics with strong interest in machine learning and its applications to biology. The postdoc will take place in Paul Villoutreix’s interdisciplinary team (Learning meaningful representation of life http://bioml.lis-lab.fr/) and the Machine Learning team of the Computer Science lab in Marseille (https://qarma.lis-lab.fr).

Formation et compétences requises :

One of the novelties at this year’s edition of the “concours chercheurs CNRS”,

https://www.dgdr.cnrs.fr/drhchercheurs/concoursch/default-en.htm

is the availability of five permanent positions as junior full-time researchers in the newly created interdisciplinary section “sciences and data”. They can be found at the very end of the list of positions on the website quoted above (“interdisciplinary committee no. 55”). The “concours chercheurs” is a competitive recruitment process used by CNRS to hire its researchers.

None of the five positions is attached to a given CNRS laboratory, i.e. candidates are free to propose a research project with any CNRS laboratory. One of the five positions is on the subject

“Advanced methods of artificial intelligence for the processing, reconstruction and analysis of ATLAS experiment data at the Large Hadron Collider”.

Are you a young colleague with demonstrated experience in the field of advanced artificial intelligence? Are you interested in applications to particle physics, but do not have much/any hands-on experience with physics? Please do not hesitate to get in touch with members of the ATLAS team at the “Laboratoire des 2 Infinis – Toulouse” (L2IT). We are happy to discuss ATLAS and the LHC with you.

One of our recent conference proceedings on the use of artificial intelligence for ATLAS and the LHC can be found here:

Postdoc position at Météo-France (CNRM) in Artificial Intelligence for Numerical Weather Prediction
Jan 31 – Feb 1 all-day

Offre en lien avec l’Action/le Réseau : – — –/– — –

Laboratoire/Entreprise : Météo-France research department (CNRM), Toulouse,
Durée : 21 to 27 months
Contact : laure.raynaud@meteo.fr
Date limite de publication : 2022-01-31

Contexte :
High-Impact Weather (HIW) events have devastating effects on society, causing human losses, degradation of infrastructures and large economic impacts. Severe precipitating events, damaging thunderstorms and strong winds are among the most impacting events from a meteorological point of view, with various severe indirect effects such as flooding, landslides and marine submersion. Being rare, HIW events lie in the tail of climatological distribution of weather events. Although meteorological services such as Météo-France have done significant progress in predicting weather for the last decades, accurately predicting the occurrence, intensity, location and timing of HIW still remains challenging.
Currently operational weather forecasts rely on physically-based modelling approaches, and Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models are operated daily to determine the future atmospheric states and the risk of HIW. In particular, Ensemble prediction systems (EPSs) aim at sampling the probability distribution of future atmospheric states. They consist in running several NWP forecasts in order to account for the different sources of uncertainty. At Météo-France, the operational AROME-EPS, which runs 16 perturbed forecasts with a spatial resolution of 1.3km, is used to anticipate the risk of HIW. However, properly capturing the associated uncertainty requires very high resolution (few hundred meters) large-size (few hundred members) ensembles. Nonetheless, such enhanced systems are currently unfeasible for operational NWP because of the associated computational cost.
In this context, the main objective of the POESY project is to explore the scientific feasibility and relevance of an innovative hybrid EPS design, combining standard physical modelling with computationally-efficient Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques, in order to produce disruptive probabilistic forecasts for high-impact weather.

Sujet :
The goal of this post-doctoral position is to improve the representation of forecast probability distributions by increasing the AROME-EPS sampling from O(10) to 0(1000) forecasts thanks to complementary AI-generated forecasts. For that purpose, physically-constrained deep generative models such as GANs and Variational AutoEncoders will be developed and evaluated. Besombes et al. (2021) provides a first example of GAN-based weather scenario. A crucial part of the work will be to adapt off-the-shelf learning architectures to the particularities of this geophysical problem. A specific attention will be paid to the following points : the learning of extremes, ensuring spatial, temporal and physical consistencies in the generated forecasts, mode collapse problem.

Profil du candidat :
The ideal candidate would have the following qualifications :
– a strong background in deep learning algorithms, in particular convolutional neural networks and deep generative models
– experience in geophysical problems would be appreciated, at least a strong interest for applied research in atmopsheric physics is highly recommended
– Proficiency with Python programming and AI librairies
– Experience with processing large volumes of data
– Experience of working in a Linux-based environment
– Aptitude for scientific work, written and oral communication in English, meetings abroad possible
– A scientific curiosity, autonomy, rigor in the interpretation of the results

Formation et compétences requises :
PhD degree in atmopsheric sciences, statistics or artificial intelligence.

Postdoc on “Discourse Segmentation and Parsing of Spoken Conversations”
Feb 14 – Feb 15 all-day

Offre en lien avec l’Action/le Réseau : – — –/– — –

Laboratoire/Entreprise : Laboratoire Parole et Langage (UMR7309)
Durée : 24 mois
Contact : laurent.prevot@univ-amu.fr
Date limite de publication : 2022-02-14

Contexte :
The long-term goal of SUMM-RE is to improve algorithms for automatic meeting summarization and meeting minutes. The central hypothesis of the project is that such systems will benefit greatly from exploiting rich information carried by discourse relations (Explanations, Questions/Answers, Corrections…) and discourse structure (in the form of graphs). One of the major objectives of the project is therefore to develop an incremental discourse parser for spontaneous conversation, building on extant work by SUMM-RE members using weak supervision (Badene et al. 2019). Discourse parsing will be done on English (the AMI corpus) and French data, but the principal focus will be on a 100h corpus of meetings in French whose creation will be completed by the time the postdoc starts.

SUMM-RE: anr.fr/Projet-ANR-20-CE23-0017, https://labs.linagora.com/summ-re/

Sujet :
The postdoc recruited for this position will be in charge of (i) adapting models of discourse segmentation (e.g. Muller et al. 2019) to meeting-style conversation by building on recent advances with weak supervision (Gravellier et al. 2021) and integrating both speech and acoustic parameters in the segmentation model; (ii) applying insights from discourse segmentation, which provides the foundation for discourse parsing, to improve the incremental discourse parser; (iii) considering and developing mitigation strategies for working directly on ASR output (rather than on gold human transcribed data) for both discourse segmentation and parsing.

Profil du candidat :
Given these tasks we are looking for a candidates with as many of the following skills as possible:

– Experience with speech and ASR, and conversational speech in particular

– Dialogue/conversation/interaction analysis and modeling

– Machine Learning, in particular Weakly Supervised and Unsupervised approaches

– Multimodal (speech + text) Deep Representations for Natural Language Processing

– Multilingual model transfer

Formation et compétences requises :
Phd in Computational Linguistics / Natual Language Processing / Machine Learning.

A minimal command of French is desirable as the postdoc will be required to handle a large French corpus; mastery of French is, however, not required.

Adresse d’emploi :
The postdoc will ideally be hosted by the Laboratoire Parole et Langage (LPL), though exceptions will be considered for candidates who wish to be based at IRIT.

A curriculum vitae and a list of publications should be sent to Laurent Prévot (laurent.prevot@univ-amu.fr) no later than February 18th, but we strongly encourage potential candidates to submit their applications as soon as possible, as we might fill the position earlier.

18 months Postdoctoral position on deep learning and inverse problems for ocean acoustics
Feb 18 – Feb 19 all-day

Offre en lien avec l’Action/le Réseau : SimpleText/Doctorants

Laboratoire/Entreprise : GIPSA-LAB Grenoble / Woods Hole Oceanographic In
Durée : 18 months
Contact : jerome.mars@gipsa-lab.fr
Date limite de publication : 2022-02-18

Contexte :
Machine learning (ML), and more recently deep learning, are the most recent revolutions in computer science. However, the impact of ML on underwater acoustics stays limited. This is largely due to two factors inherent to the acoustic inversion problem: large datasets with reliable annotations are usually not available, and the signal degradation due to propagation and noise is more severe than for other classical ML applications.

Sujet :
In this project, the postdoctoral investigator will embed ML methods into the traditional underwater acoustics inverse problem (source localization and environmental inversion). Of particular interest will be to replace the non-linear forward model (i.e. acoustic propagation code) with an approximated version obtained using a neural network. Such methods, proposed by the geoscience community [1], are known to accelerate the resolution of the inverse problems [2], but have never been explored in ocean acoustics. Independent research is expected, and other ideas by the postdoctoral investigator will be encouraged.

Any progress made by the postdoctoral investigator will be directly integrated into current work within our group on related topics [3,4], which provide a basis for broad-impact contributions and long-term international collaboration

Title : Combining graph embedding and topic modelling for ontology/KG learning from large scale data

Key words : Topic modelling, Knowledge graph learning, Ontology learning, Graph embedding, Deep learning

Description. Ontology learning from the web data is a major challenging topic within the semantic web field and many approaches have been developed to tackle it. However, due to sparsity and heterogeneity of data, they lack to provide good quality results with a high semantical relevance for humans. The post-doc work aims to define a new approach for ontology learning/knowledge graph learning by incorporating embedded knowledge graphs in a clustering technique (topic modelling) dealing better with the sparsity and the heterogeneity of texts available in the Web and the semantical relevance of the results. The research domain of this post-doc position is model learning, linked data and graph embedding for ontology/knowledge graph learning from texts. Model learning/Topic modelling is one of the area expertise of the DUKe team (Data User Knowledge) of LS2N, one of the France’s leading public research labs in digital sciences. Linked data, graph building from texts and knowledge graph embedding are fields of expertise of the Japanese Ichise Laboratory from the National Institute of Informatics (NII), one of the leading research institute in Japan.

Duration : 12 months from (1 January 2022 -31 December 2022) including a mobility of 3 months in Japan .

Localization : Polytech Nantes, France , Ichise Laboratory, Tokyo Japan

Salary: 2900€ gross monthly + mobility expenses in Japan, during three months, about 350.000 yens / month.

Application: Candidates should have a PhD in computer science or applied mathematics, with strong experience in machine learning and related coding ecosystems in python. A background in semantic web and probability/statistics would be a plus.
Applicants should send a full CV including a complete list of publications and completed projects, a cover letter, and letters of recommendation or the names of two people who have worked with them.

Project Description: We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher to work with us on a collaboration project between the Bioinformatics Institute (BII, A*STAR), Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS, A*STAR), National Cancer Centre of Singapore (NCCS), and Singapore General Hospital (SGH). This project is supported by datasets derived from more than 5000 patients and strong clinical domain knowledge. We aim to design an AI model to quantify intra-tumor heterogeneity in histopathological tissue whole slide images. Cancer cells evolve into genetically diverse clonal populations in response to immune suppression via random mutation. High genetic diversity within the tumor cells leads to poor patient prognosis and is known as genetic intra-tumor heterogeneity (ITH). ITH is usually quantified via genomic methods. In this project, we will develop an AI model to quantify ITH using the imaging modality. We are looking for a creative mind with strong communication skills and a team player who can lead the project from forming ideas to methods development leading to publishing results in top-tier journals.

Position:
Postdoctoral Research Fellow position for developing an AI model to learn heterogeneous tasks in parallel. An application to digital pathology.

Project Description:
Training deep learning (DL) models on multiple heterogeneous tasks is one of the main steps in the direction of offering robust and generalizable AI solutions. We are seeking a postdoctoral research fellow to participate in an exciting collaboration between the Bioinformatics Institute (BII), the Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R) and Singapore General hospital. The aim is to design an AI model that can help hospitals by learning a diverse set of diagnostic tasks such as breast cancer grading and prostate gland segmentation as tasks are introduced through time. An AI model that is sufficiently smart to optimise the required network resources and to reduce the necessary dataset size to deliver a desirable performance for each task. To achieve these objectives the proposed AI model should be novel in many aspects. For instance, it should automatically decide which part of the network to assign to a new task, it should automatically expand itself if necessary to learn a new task, it should find similarities between tasks and share resources between similar tasks and it should avoid sharing resources between dissimilar tasks. We look for a creative mind with strong communication skills. A team player who can lead the project from forming ideas, to development, analysis and publishing results in top-tier journals.
