Kitware
Team Description
Kitware is a leader in the creation of cutting-edge algorithms and software for automated image, video, text, and multimodal analysis. Our solutions embrace artificial intelligence adding measurable value to government agencies, commercial organizations, and academic institutions worldwide. We seek to advance artificial intelligence, computer vision, and related fields through research and development and through collaborative projects that build on our open source software platforms, such as VIAME and Telesculptor. About the Projects
NLP and Computer Vision research are increasingly interrelated, with common computational approaches and the availability of text + image/video benchmarks. Current projects leverage recent advances in large language models (LLMs), with applications to information extraction, decision-making, reasoning, and disinformation mitigation. Related projects emphasize knowledge extraction and representation, multimodal media asset exploitation, understanding written instructions, and more. Kitware employees have opportunities to interact with customers, visit customer sites, and participate in live field tests and demonstrations. Much of Kitware’s work applies state-of-the-art AI to dynamic, real-world problems. In this position, you will contribute your skills to projects focused on national security. Research and Development Engineers at Kitware enjoy benefits commonly associated with academia, such as support for publication of novel work, and collaboration with world-renowned academic partners on ongoing research projects. We partner with premier government R&D agencies such as DARPA, IARPA, AFRL, NVESD, NOAA, ONR, and other branches of the US military, and multiple members of the Intelligence Community on various efforts including prime contracts, SBIRs, and STTRs. We also provide commercial services to startups to Fortune 500 companies. Kitware employs an open source business model to foster collaborative communities and provide flexible, high-quality technical solutions. If you have used CMake, ITK, or VTK, you know our work and its impact. In This Position You Will
Develop robust solutions in Natural Language Processing, Large Language Models, Foundation Models, ML, and AI. Develop and evaluate algorithms to understand the textual content of textual and multi-modal data, and/or perform reasoning on extracted data. Enjoy support and encouragement for participation in national and international NLP, machine learning, AI, and/or computer vision conferences. Be encouraged to seek funding to grow and develop your own research areas if you desire. Qualifications
Required Qualifications: PhD in Computer Science or related field. Strong publication history in NLP (ACL, EMNLP, NAACL) conferences, or other AI venues incorporating NLP (AAAI, ICML, ICLR, NeurIPS). Candidates should include a detailed list of publications in their resume/CV. Experience with natural language text generation, foundation models, large language models (LLMs), using one or more of GPT, Claude, BERT, or similar. Highly innovative with a demonstrated track record of solving difficult technical challenges. Experience collaborating successfully with others and thriving in a fast-paced and dynamic work environment. Due to contractual restrictions, only US Citizens will be considered for this position. If not already cleared TS/SCI, willingness and ability to apply for, use, and maintain a TS/SCI security clearance. Preferred Qualifications: Experience with multiple large multimodal AI models including image, text, and speech modalities. Past work on adapting NLP and LLMs to different domains and applications, including decision-making, reasoning, and inference. Company Description
