About This OpportunityNortheastern University's Dublin Innovation Institute is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Associate for TOPO-LLM, a project on topologically informed large language models for innovation intelligence.
This 10-month full-time postdoctoral role is based on site at the Dublin Innovation Institute. The researcher will design and validate an Innovation Topology Embedding using persistent homology, higher-order Laplacian features and multiscale network structure, then integrate these representations into transformer-based language models and evaluate them through benchmarks and ablation studies. The project combines topological data analysis, higher-order networks, knowledge graphs and generative AI.
