PRE-DOC -THE SUSTAINABLE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE RU

Who are we looking for ?

The Sustainable Artificial Intelligence (SAI) unit is looking for young researchers with experience in machine learning for working in the EU GREENEDGE project. The researcher will carry on investigation on the design and implementation of ML algorithms for goal-oriented communications in scenarios with edge devices have limited computational capabilities and energy budget, the so-called Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT). The lightweight ML models have to consider brain-inspired learning architectures to be integrated into neuromorphic hardware and fit with the low computational capabilities of the devices.
