Research Assistant in the Division of Science (Computer Science) - Dr. Mohamed Riyadh Baghdadi

Description

Many companies, such as Google, Facebook, and Amazon are building new specialized programming frameworks.  This is because these companies need to allow their users to write simple, high-level code and run it efficiently on different hardware architectures. For example, Google has built TensorFlow, a framework for deep learning allowing users to run deep learning on multiple hardware architectures without changing the code.

Our research team at NYUAD (New York University Abu Dhabi) in collaboration with MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA) is developing a new programming framework called Tiramisu  [1]. Unlike existing frameworks, Tiramisu can perform advanced code optimizations that are hard to apply otherwise. Because of this, Tiramisu can generate fast code that outperforms highly optimized code written by expert programmers and can target different hardware architectures (multicore, GPUs, FPGAs, and  distributed machines).

In order to have the best performance (fastest execution) for a given Tiramisu program, many code optimizations should be applied. Optimizations include vectorization (using hardware vector instructions), parallelization (running loop iterations in parallel), enhancing data locality by fusion, and blocking (i.e. accessing arrays in a way that improves temporal and spatial data locality). A large number of optimizations exist and choosing which optimization should be used and which should not is important for performance.  In some situations, some optimizations are harmful to performance while they are beneficial in other situations. Currently, there is no way to help users choose which optimizations should be used.  Expert Google programmers usually spend a lot of time trying different optimizations manually to find the best set of optimizations.

The goal of this project is to add support for automatic code optimization in Tiramisu.  In particular, we want to use machine learning/deep learning to achieve this. Currently, a basic automatic optimization module that relies on machine learning has been developed and we want to take that module to the next level. The final product of this project would be a compiler pass that allows Tiramisu to automatically choose which optimization should be used for a given unoptimized program. We want to produce a high-quality technique that can be used by the users of Tiramisu and especially by our partner companies and research labs.

Benefits

The selected candidate will work on cutting edge projects with a very high practical impact on many areas. They will receive a competitive monthly salary. Travel and VISA expenses will also be paid by NYUAD. They will participate in writing papers and submit them to the best conferences in the field (NIPS, PLDI, ISCA, …) and will travel to participate in international conferences abroad.

Application

To apply, please send your cover letter, CV and transcripts (with ranking) for the last two years, contact references and indicate when you’ll be able to start. Being able to start as early as possible is a plus. Please also indicate any relevant technical skills that you have. If you have any questions, please send an email to Dr. Mohamed Riyadh Baghdadi at  rb4792@nyu.edu

Description

The Melcher Perception and Active Cognition Laboratory in the Division of Science, New York University Abu Dhabi, seeks to recruit a Post-Doctoral Associate to work on the mechanisms underlying how the brain rapidly processes incoming sensory information in order to guide our behavior.

Current research in the Perception and Active Cognition Laboratory focuses on four major themes:

• Speed of processing: sensory information arrives continuously and needs to be processed rapidly, according to our goals. Work in our lab has shown that the speed of visual processing varies across people and is linked to specific neural processes that can be measured with EEG/MEG. Speed of processing also varies depending on factors such as emotional state, context, music listening, and time of day.
• The role of prediction: our brains use information from the past to make, and update, predictions about upcoming sensory input. Work in our Laboratory has shown that both longer-term learning and current information, such as a view of a stimulus in extrafoveal vision, leads to predictions that can change our perceptual interpretation of objects and events. Our Laboratory has shown that predictions are important in quickly processing information across eye movements when looking around or reading.
• Brain and body rhythms: Sensory and cognitive processing varies over time, linked to brain oscillations, external input (such as music) and body movements. Work in our Laboratory investigates how external input shapes these rhythms, and how these rhythms shape our perceptions and actions.
• Clinical implications, including individual differences in sensory sensitivity and temporal processing: We are investigating how individual differences in attention, sensory processing and working memory influence performance in tasks in both control and in people diagnosed with dyslexia, autism, schizophrenia and other psychological and neurological conditions.

The successful applicant will drive a fascinating project on one or more of these major themes. This will involve planning and executing experimental research with human participants. The candidate will work in a multidisciplinary environment consisting of PhD-level scientists, graduate students and undergraduate students.

Applicants must have a PhD in Psychology, Neuroscience or a related field. Excellent experimental and neuroimaging skills relevant to the project are required, as demonstrated by publication in international scientific journals with a good ranking.

For consideration, applicants need to submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae with full publication list, statement of research interests and three letters of reference (or at least the names of three referees who have agreed to provide a letter), all in PDF format. The terms of employment are very competitive and include housing and educational subsidies for children. Applications will be accepted immediately and candidates will be considered until the position is filled. If you have any questions, please email Prof. Melcher at david.melcher@nyu.edu.
