Responsible for the end‑to‑end design and continuous evolution of a multimodal document understanding and structured data extraction platform: complex PDF / scanned page layout analysis, semantic extraction, structural reconstruction, quality validation, and business integration. Leads multimodal model strategy (vision + language + layout) and multi‑agent collaboration (task decomposition, verification, conflict reconciliation, feedback loops), and plans future customized training and ongoing optimization of models.
Key ResponsibilitiesDesign and iterate the multimodal document parsing pipeline: layout / structural modeling, semantic extraction, cross‑modal alignment, structural reconstruction.
Build and optimize a multi‑agent collaboration mechanism: task splitting, parallel / sequential scheduling, peer review, iterative quality improvement loops.
Define model selection / composition / routing strategies (dynamic dispatch by document type, structural patterns, quality signals).
Plan and execute model fine‑tuning, domain adaptation, continual learning, active learning, and data feedback loops.
Establish end‑to‑end metrics: extraction accuracy, structural consistency, agent collaboration effectiveness, latency, stability, and cost.
Build quality assurance and risk controls: drift & anomaly monitoring, confidence estimation, fallback strategies, alignment / compliance checks.
Drive mapping and consistency between agent / model outputs and business knowledge field standards.
Required QualificationsEducation: Master's degree or above in a quantitative or technical field (Statistics, Computer Science, Mathematics, Data Science, etc.).
Experience:5+ years of hands‑on machine learning / data science experience.Proven delivery experience in multimodal (vision + text) or complex document understanding.Practical cases of orchestrating agents (or modular processing logic) in production workflows.
Capabilities:Solid foundation in machine learning / deep learning fundamentals, multimodal representations, and cross‑modal alignment concepts.Deep understanding of core principles and common algorithms for multimodal large models: cross‑modal attention & representation alignment, vision/text embedding fusion, hierarchical & layout structure modeling, instruction & contrastive paradigms, long‑context and retrieval‑augmented mechanisms, evaluation and failure mode dissection.
Tools & Practices (general): multimodal modeling, model evaluation & tracking, experiment automation, data processing, and service‑oriented deployment (without binding to specific frameworks).Python engineering excellence: testing (pytest), packaging, reproducible environments, profiling (cProfile, line_profiler), and data workflow automation.
Led or designed customization / fine‑tuning of multimodal foundation models, representation learning, or structural understanding subsystems.
Built an agent orchestration platform: task decomposition, iterative self‑checks, consensus or voting mechanisms.
Experience solving robustness & generalization challenges in large‑scale long documents / heterogeneous layouts.
Demonstrated results in cost optimization (model pruning, parameter‑efficient tuning, inference acceleration) or adaptive load scheduling.
First‑author or corresponding publications in top‑tier venues (NeurIPS / ICML / ICLR / ACL / EMNLP / CVPR / ECCV / KDD) or granted high‑impact patents.
Core maintainer / significant contributor to relevant multimodal, LLM, agent orchestration, retrieval, or evaluation open‑source projects.
Demonstrated Python systems optimization (e.g., custom Cython / CUDA kernels, vectorization replacing Python loops, latency reductions in inference pipelines).
