What are the responsibilities and job description for the Adapting Machine Learning for Army Research and Sustainability position at Zintellect?
About the Research
Data collected from Army research projects and systems testing is quite varied and often different from the canonical types of data used to benchmark machine learning (ML) algorithms. In this opportunity, we will be evaluating how state-of-the-art ML techniques can be used to extract and predict meaningful information from Army-relevant data. In the course of our research, we will be developing novel data preprocessing and analysis strategies with the dual goals of 1) collaborating with the research and testing communities and 2) advancing the applicability of ML to non-canonical domains.
Sciences to enable and ensure secure resilient communication networks for distributed analytics in Multi-Domain Operations.
The Army Research Laboratory Research Associateship Program (ARL-RAP) is designed to significantly increase the involvement of creative and highly trained scientists and engineers from academia and industry in scientific and technical areas of interest and relevance to the Army. Scientists and Engineers at the CCDC Army Research Laboratory (ARL) help shape and execute the Army's program for meeting the challenge of developing technologies that will support Army forces in meeting future operational needs by pursuing scientific research and technological developments in diverse fields such as: applied mathematics, atmospheric characterization, simulation and human modeling, digital/optical signal processing, nanotechnology, material science and technology, multifunctional technology, combustion processes, propulsion and flight physics, communication and networking, and computational and information sciences.
ARL’s Army Research Directorate (ARD) focuses on exploiting concept development, discovery, technology development, and transition of the most promising disruptive science and technology to deliver to the Army fundamentally advantageous science-based capabilities through laboratory’s research competencies. This intramural research directorate also manages the laboratory’s essential research programs, which are flagship research efforts focused on delivering defined outcomes.
