The Alan Turing Institute
The Alan Turing Institute is the UK’s national institute for data science and artificial intelligence whose mission is to make great leaps in data science and artificial intelligence research in order to change the world for the better.
ROLE PURPOSE
To advance the state of the art there is a need to develop AI models that generate a richer representation of the world, much more akin to the human ‘embodied’ experience of learning from continuous streams of data. The challenge is that access to limited (or erroneous) data requires the remainder of the ‘picture’ to be constructed, whilst maintaining the integrity of the world that we are trying to represent.
You will develop novel methods to realise a multi-perspective data environment that enables the fusion of electro-optical and infrared data at multiple spatial and temporal scales. Your work will address three key challenges: synthetic stream data generation, synthetic generation of plausible future scenarios and synthetic generation of edge cases. The techniques developed will help to close the gap between synthetic data generation and real data collections and enable the transferral of AI techniques between different domains. You will pair existing, maturing, and emerging algorithms with synthetic data environments to rapidly evolve autonomous behaviours to detect anomalies and outliers and to perceive meaningful novelty in action. The technical scope of the role includes identifying and advancing synthetic data generation approaches that more richly embody noisy, irregularly sampled, sparse, multi-dimensional geospatial data.
