Post-Doc: Neural Networks & Heterogeneous Multi-Core Architectures for =
Autonomous Cars

Post-Doctorate position Progresses in the design of CMOS circuits have =
made the
possibility to support very complex Machine Learning (ML) algorithms =
using large
data sets. For this reason, AI techniques such as Convolution Neural =
Network
(CNN) and Deep Neural Network (DNN) have received recently interests =
both in
industry and academy to implement complex applications.

In the domain of embedded systems for automotive applications, CNN and =
DNN have
many potential applications, especially for Advanced Driving Assistance =
Systems
(ADAS) and autonomous driving. These algorithms have shown high =
performances in
scene understanding and object/obstacle classification.

This post-doc aims to contribute in the domain of embedded system design =
for
Real-time and automotive applications, especially in autonomous driving. =
The objective here is
to develop new heterogeneous FPGA/GPU-based multiprocessor architectures =
to
support complex ML algorithms. The target heterogeneous multi-core =
architectures
must in one hand adapt the ML algorithm and the supporting architecture =
to
different scenarios and on the other hand must use different CNN and DNN
configurations taking into account the different characteristics of =
embedded
sensors (Cameras, Lidars, Radars).=20

The duties also include collaboration with PhD students working on these =
topics
and helping to write high-impact papers and funding applications.

The post-doc is within the framework of the ELSAT 2020 project
(http://www.frttm.fr/elsat2020 <http://www.frttm.fr/elsat2020>).
