The College of Surrey is a world group of concepts and other people, devoted to life-changing training and analysis. 

We’re bold and have a daring imaginative and prescient of what we need to obtain – shaping ourselves into the most effective universities on the earth, which we’re reaching by the abilities and endeavour of each worker.  

Our tradition empowers individuals to realize this intention and to collectively, and individually, make an actual distinction.  

The position

Purposes are invited for a Analysis Fellow (RF) place for 12 months throughout the Centre for Imaginative and prescient Speech and Sign Processing (CVSSP), College of Surrey, UK, to work within the space of generative AI for audio era with textual content and video prompts. 

The put up is funded by a number one generative AI startup. The main focus will likely be to develop generative machine studying fashions and sign processing algorithms for sound era, given prompts from textual content and/or video.  This work is constructed on the latest contributions of CVSSP within the generative AI fashions for audio era, equivalent to AudioLDM and Re-AudioLDM, with a deal with scaling up the fashions with further datasets and lengthening the fashions to incorporate extra modalities equivalent to video. 

The post-holder will likely be based mostly in CVSSP, and work underneath the path of the Principal Investigator Prof Wenwu Wang, with co-supervision by Prof Mark Plumbley, and in collaboration with the commercial accomplice.

About you
