  • First-author publications in top-tier ML/AI conferences or journals (e.g., CVPR, ICCV, NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ICASSP, INTERSPEECH, IEEE TPAMI, IEEE IoT, IEEE TNNLS, JMLR, or similar).
  • Hands-on machine learning experience in at least one of the following areas:
  • Multimodal LLMs (audio and/or video)
  • Contrastive learning (e.g., multimodal feature alignment)
  • Model compression techniques (e.g., quantization, pruning, knowledge distillation)
  • Proven success in:
  • Software development using Python and/or C/C++
  • Working with ML frameworks such as PyTorch and/or TensorFlow
  • Writing clear and thorough documentation
  • Using standard software engineering tools and practices (e.g., Git)
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills with a results-driven mindset
  • Excellent problem-solving and debugging abilities


Preferred skills:

  • Background in multimodal emotion recognition and foundational facial models
  • Experience with multi-task learning and deception detection
  • Demonstrated ability to build sophisticated training and inference pipelines
  • Knowledge of embedded and/or distributed ML tools and methodologies
  • Experience in optimizing and profiling AI pipelines for performance
  • Contributions to open-source machine learning libraries

Rural-Remote AI Jobs: A Breath of Fresh Air in the UK Tech Scene

A New Horizon for AI Professionals For years, conversations around tech careers in the UK have hinged on a central theme: to succeed in artificial intelligence (AI), you must be in or around London (or other big metropolitan areas like Manchester, Bristol, or Edinburgh). But times are changing. Technological leaps and the rise of flexible working are paving the way for AI professionals to live and work well beyond the capital. From the rugged coastlines of Cornwall and Pembrokeshire to the rolling hills of the Yorkshire Dales, we’re witnessing an exciting trend of AI remote countryside roles that allow you to work at the forefront of tech innovation—all while enjoying the tranquillity of rural or seaside living. At ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, we’re seeing a marked increase in job postings and applications for these sorts of positions. A growing segment of job seekers is actively searching for “tech jobs by the sea” or “AI remote countryside,” driven by a desire for better work-life balance, lower living costs, and a healthier lifestyle. And it’s not just employees who stand to benefit; employers eager to attract top-tier AI talent are discovering that offering remote or flexible roles widens their candidate pool and enhances diversity. If you’re enticed by the idea of logging off from a day of coding neural networks and taking a stroll along a coastal path—or stepping outside your converted barn in Northumberland to soak in some fresh country air—this article is for you. Below, we’ll explore the benefits and challenges of rural-remote AI jobs, the specific roles best suited for remote work, and how to position yourself for success in this rapidly evolving sector.

When Qubits Fuel Neural Networks: The Emerging Frontier of Quantum-Enhanced AI

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has soared to unimaginable heights over the last few years, revolutionising sectors ranging from healthcare and finance to logistics and entertainment. But while deep learning models have grown more sophisticated and powerful, they remain tied to the limitations of classical computing systems. Enter quantum computing, a burgeoning field that leverages qubits—quantum bits—to achieve processing speeds that could leave even today’s most advanced supercomputers in the dust. What if we combined these two forces? Quantum-enhanced AI aims to integrate quantum hardware and algorithms into AI workflows, potentially unlocking efficiencies and capabilities that are currently out of reach. Although this domain is still in its infancy, experts predict it could reshape entire industries in the not-so-distant future. For professionals in AI, this is more than just an interesting development; it’s a pivotal shift that could spawn new roles, research areas, and opportunities. In this thought-leadership piece, we will: Outline the basics of quantum computing and why it matters to AI. Examine how quantum resources might supercharge neural networks. Highlight the career paths at the intersection of quantum and machine learning. Discuss the long-term outlook and what it means for AI professionals looking to stay ahead. Whether you’re already immersed in AI or just beginning to explore its potential, strap in—this new frontier promises a radical transformation.
