Responsibilities
- As an NLP Engineer, you will be responsible for improving and maintaining the existing NLP pipeline with state-of-the-art algorithms.
- This includes improving built-in models for semantic and syntactic parsing, coreference, named entity tagging, annotators, and complex sentence taggers.
- Additionally, you will be responsible for enhancing modules such as question answering, question generation, open domain conversation, and natural language generation among others.
- Designing and developing NLU applications that prioritize semantics and reasoning.
- Maintain and add new features to the core NLU administration framework that provides model training and annotating capabilities, including classifiers and taggers for both large and few-shot datasets.
- Responsible for collecting and preprocessing data sets that will be used to train and test the NLU models and algorithms. This will involve working with large data sets and understanding how to clean and preprocess them for use in machine learning models.
- Improving the reasoning and entailment capabilities for domain-specific needs using Large Language Models.
Requirements
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or a related field
- 0-3 years of experience in software engineering with a focus on NLP and machine learning
