Hi

We are looking for two researchers (at post-doc or pre-doc level) to work with us in Edinburgh on two new Horizon Europe projects. Both projects start in Autumn 2022 and run for 3 years.

The first project (High Performance Language Technologies -- HPLT) will create an open platform that trains reproducible high-quality machine translation systems and language models. The project is gathering over a million GPU hours and 7 petabytes of data. Research in HPLT focuses on efficiency and models that apply to a wide range of languages. The second project (UTTER -- Unified Transcription and Translation for Extended Reality) aims to use large language models to develop scalable, adaptable, contextualised, emotion-aware and explainable technologies for translation, summarisation and transcription. The project will develop prototypes for a multilingual meeting assistant and for dialogue translation in customer care. The new researchers will work on problems related to these goals.
