Job Description:
Job Opportunit with a Leading Global management consulting and professional services firm that provides strategy, consulting, digital, technology and operations services
Overview:
Accenture’s Artificial Intelligence team focuses on getting machines to do things that we would call intelligent behavior. Intelligence – whether artificial or otherwise – does not have a precise definition, but there are many activities and behaviors that are considered intelligent when exhibited by humans and animals. Examples include seeing, learning, using tools, understanding human speech, reasoning, making good guesses, playing games, and formulating plans and objectives. AI team in Accenture Operations focuses on how to get machines or computers to perform these same kinds of activities, though not necessarily in the same way that humans might do them.
We are looking for an exceptional hands-on research scientist with a proven track record of experience in applying machine learning methods towards solving real-world problems through Knowledge Representation & Reasoning (KRR), Speech Recognition, (Un)supervised Learning, Reinforcement Learning to name a few. You will be joining a world-class, multidisciplinary team and will be participating in cutting-edge research in machine intelligence and artificial intelligence. You will be providing quality answers to large-scale problems with broad impact.
Responsibilities:
• Develop transformative AI solutions to address our clients’ business requirements and challenges
• Understand latest industrial and academic developments in AI/ML, application in diverse domains and user experience for next generation devices and create prototypes for demonstration.
• Conceptualize, Design, build and develop proto types which demonstrate the required functionality rapidly
• Collect, synthesize, and propose requirements and create effective product/feature roadmap.
• Work with development teams to mature these algorithms into production quality programs
• Do applied research on a wide array of text analytics and machine learning projects, file patents and publish the papers
Desired candidate profile:
• Post graduate or PhD in relevant field and hand-on experience in AI research or application development
• Exceptional hands-on research scientist with a proven track record of experience in applying machine learning methods towards solving real-world problems
• Expert level of understanding of NLP, NLU and Machine learning/Deep learning methods
• Experience in artificial intelligence and its practical application to the creation of interactive systems, with specific emphasis in two or more of the following areas: Sequence tagging, Intent classification, Information extraction and Reinforced learning
