Are you looking for a research position that combines machine learning with helping to protect nature? Would you like to apply and develop AI methods for sound? Do you want to conduct research that has international academic impact, and also a positive environmental impact?
The Department of Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence at Tilburg University is looking for a postdoctoral researcher, for an 18-month position within the European funded project TABMON
The TABMON project will apply autonomous acoustic sensing to biodiversity monitoring across a large geographic range in Europe (from Norway to Spain). Sound recording devices will be placed in diverse bird habitats. Within this project, you will develop machine learning algorithms to analyse these large volumes of audio data. You will investigate the leading algorithms as well as novel ideas, you will carefully design training datasets, and evaluate the performance of algorithms to ensure they work as intended across many countries, in many habitats and seasons.
You will be working with collaborators from multiple countries, including specialists in signal processing, machine learning, and ecology. At Tilburg University you will be part of a research group with unique world-leading expertise in machine learning for animal sound - see for example the Bioacoustic AI network
Your project will include the following goals:
