This role focuses on advancing alignment techniques for large language models (LLMs), enabling fine-grained, sub-group specific alignment deployable on personal devices. The candidate will also work on developing and applying machine learning techniques to solve practical challenges in vessel route prediction, port operations optimization, and global trade flow analysis.
Successful candidates will be responsible, but not limited to:
- Develop alignment frameworks to create social value-sensitive representations for sub-groups and to enable inference-time output refinement aligned with sub-group values.
- Design and implement parameter-efficient fine-tuning techniques within the LLM alignment context.
- Develop models for trajectory prediction and route reconstruction of ocean-going vessels using AIS data, satellite imagery, and contextual information.
- Build machine learning pipelines to optimize port operations, including vessel arrival forecasting, berthing planning, and congestion mitigation.
- Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to integrate domain knowledge from linguistics, social sciences, and maritime technology.
