MetaMind - Californa - Palo Alto
Starting with automated image recognition -- MetaMind was founded to explore positive and impactful applications for artificial intelligence. We believe AI is only beneficial when it works to simplify the complexity of our daily lives. It is this notion which inspires us to produce technology which is reliable, trustworthy, and easy to use.
We started by building the artificial intelligence platform for enterprises using our research and expertise to solve hard problems -- ranging from interpreting medical images for life threatening diseases to financial, social and marketing applications. And we are growing fast!
Customers are excited to deploy AI in applications that are important and often mission critical to their business. Yet many customers are still very new to the world of AI. We must not only make sure that we build systems that solve their problems and are reliable, fast and secure -- but they also must be easy and intuitive to use. We aspire to design and build software that is smart and fun!
We are looking for an experienced DL and/or medical expert. You can either have a proven track record of complex DL work in industry, or research in the medical field. For the former, please include your past projects. For the latter, please include your published papers, ideally at CVPR, ICCV, ACL, EMNLP, TACL, ICML or NIPS.
