Job: PhD student in Computer and Systems Sciences with focus on Deep Learning for Natural Language Processing of Healthcare Data
Deep learning based on various neural network architectures has seen tremendous success in recent years, substantially outperforming alternative learning approaches in fields such as natural language processing. By learning abstract representations through multiple processing layers, the learning task can be simplified while removing the need for carefully handcrafted features. Deep learning hence provides an effective…
