You will work with a team of researchers and developers from UPF. Martí Sánchez Fibla will be the scientific person in charge. You will have the opportunity to directly interact with the innovation line of the company but from the university and with a research focus.
You will be working in the project Matching Learning (red.es BMAT-UPF) in close collaboration with the company BMAT (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMAT_Music_Company). BMAT is a music company that uses artificial intelligence to index, monitor and report music usage and ownership data across TVs, radios, venues and digital platforms worldwide.
This offer gives the opportunity to work on a highly new and innovative field: the application of state of the art Natural Language Processing tools based on Deep Learning and Large Language Models (GPTx and open source versions of ChatGPT) to process (semi and unstructured) data.. The challenges that you will be addressing will be realistic and relevant for industry as they will be provided directly from BMAT.
These tasks are related to completion of the project by 30/05/2024. The concrete tasks to be accomplished are:
- T1. Intelligent meta-data matching. Develop python software based on Deep Learning techniques (through Deep Neural Networks, DNNs as transformers networks, through the use of the so-called Embeddings) to resolve the matching problems of metadata that the company has identified. Datasets will be provided and different techniques will be implemented, tested and benchmarked.
- T2. Develop specific methods for a specific use-case. Do specific training of DNNs to solve the metadata matching problems in a specific domain: for example the Music Production domain. Compare how a specific fine tuning of DNNs can solve the tasks better. Evaluate and benchmark results.
