Skills

About the Role

You will develop human-in-the-loop methods that use coach feedback as supervision for model adaptation. You will integrate transcript, audio, and video data while meeting consent, privacy, and regulatory requirements. You will build performance-monitoring infrastructure and lead a user study evaluating coaching efficiency and fidelity with and without AI support.

Requirements

  • Hold a PhD
  • Demonstrate extensive experience with modern deep neural network techniques
  • Demonstrate the ability to design, train, and deploy large-scale deep-learning models
  • Possess expertise in computer vision, speech recognition, or multimodal learning
  • Have experience with real-world technology deployment
  • Have experience with human-in-the-loop machine learning or a technical foundation in human feedback, weak or noisy supervision, or interactive machine learning systems

Responsibilities

  • Design methods that convert coach interactions into supervision for model adaptation
  • Determine how transcript, audio, and video data can be used consistently with consent, privacy, and regulatory requirements
  • Develop methods for multimodal signal integration and learning from sparse, noisy feedback
  • Build infrastructure to monitor model performance, calibration, and variation across contexts and populations
  • Design and execute a user study of instructional coaching with and without AI support
  • Evaluate coaching efficiency and fidelity and interview coaches about tool use

Benefits

  • USD 2,000 research and conference allowance
  • Relocation support up to USD 3,000 for international relocation, USD 2,000 for cross-country relocation, or USD 1,000 for west coast relocation outside the Bay Area
