The intern will work closely with our team to implement advanced machine learning algorithms, explore various datasets, and employ optimization strategies to achieve these goals.

Key activities:

  • Conduct thorough research on state-of-the-art techniques in ASR and OCR model fine-tuning.
  • Collaborate with the team to understand the current architecture and performance metrics of existing ASR and OCR models.
  • Analyse ASR and OCR datasets to identify areas for improvement and develop strategies for fine-tuning.
  • Implement fine-tuning algorithms such as transfer learning, data augmentation, and hyperparameter optimization to enhance model accuracy.
  • Experiment with different pre-trained models and architectures to find the optimal configuration for ASR and OCR tasks.
  • Evaluate model performance using appropriate metrics and provide detailed analysis reports.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate improved ASR and OCR models into existing systems.
  • Document the entire fine-tuning process, including methodologies, experiments, and outcomes, for future reference.

 Requirements:

  • Grade 12 Certificate
  • A Bachelor's Degree in computer science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • Strong programming skills in Python and experience with machine learning libraries such as TensorFlow or PyTorch.
  • Familiarity with deep learning techniques and architectures for natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision tasks.
  • Knowledge of ASR and OCR concepts, including common challenges and techniques for improving accuracy.
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
  • Effective communication skills to present findings and collaborate with team members.
