ph3Postdoctoral positions for the Document Analysis research group at Computer Vision Center /h3 pbJob Reference: /b _DAG /p pbClosing date: /b open until the candidates are selected /p pbAbout CVC /b /p pThe Computer Vision Center (CVC) is a non‑profit research centre established in 1995 by the Generalitat de Catalunya and the University Autónoma de Barcelona (UAB). Its mission is to carry out cutting‑edge research that has the highest international impact in the field of computer vision and to promote the transfer of knowledge to industry and society. /p pComputer vision is an exciting research area and an omnipresent technology, essentially empowering machines with the sense of vision. The CVC is a successful marriage between knowledge and innovation. In addition to our cutting‑edge scientific achievements, we have established lasting ties with industrial partners and created several spin‑off companies. /p pbContext and Mission /b /p pThe Document Analysis group is looking for postdoctoral researchers to collaborate on handwriting recognition. The objective is to explore methodologies suitable for historical documents in low‑resource scenarios (when training data is scarce), such as self‑supervised learning, continual learning, synthetic data generation, etc. Architectures can be based on deep‑learning models and/or spiking neural networks. /p pThe successful candidate will work in close collaboration with researchers of the Document Analysis research group. This position is linked to the project “DESCRYPT: Echoes of History: Analysis and Decipherment of Historical Writings”, financed by the Riksbankens Jubileumsfond.
