Technician position for internship in Human Pose Recovery and Behavior Analysis (HuPBA) research group

The Computer Vision Center (CVC) is a non-profit research center established in 1995 by the Generalitat de Catalunya and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB). Its mission is to carry out cutting-edge research that has the highest international impact in the field of computer vision. It also promotes the transference of knowledge to industry and society.   Computer 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.  Human Action/Gesture recognition is a challenging area of research that deals with the problem of recognizing people in images, detecting and describing body parts, inferring their spatial configuration, and performing action/gesture recognition from still images or image sequences. This process may also include multi-modal representations, including signals from wearable devices as well as multi-modal visual representations, such as RGB and Depth data.  The Human Pose Recovery and Behavior Analysis (HuPBA) Group main lines of research are:  human body pose recovery and face analysis in RGB and multi-modal data representations; Human Behavior Analysis; multi-class classification and learning systems; smart environments and Human Computer Interaction and eHealth intelligent systems.  Purpose:  The HuPBA research group aims at exploring explainability of deep models by means of mathematical tools. That will help to understand better how deep learning networks learn to generalize and will help in the automatic design of customized deep architectures. This job offer is addressed to outstanding students, ideally within the last year of their undegraduate studies.  Main tasks: 
  • Implementing deep learning models (DL) 
  • Implementing algebraic topology tools (TDA) 
  • Implementing generalization capabilities analyses by means of TDA on DL 
Requirements: 
  • Background in mathematics 
  • Background in informatics 
  • Experience in data science 
  • Experience in computer vision 
  • Python coding skills 
  • Be able to work independently as well as within an interdisciplinary team, 
  • fluent in English. Good communication skills.
Contract conditions: 
  • Start date: 1 March 2021 
  • Six months’ contract
