NLP Engineer

Surgical robotic procedures are becoming the standard of care for many surgical procedures. Surgeons need to be trained in an objective manner as to facilitate this massive switch towards robotic surgery. As Europe’s largest training centre for robotic surgery, Orsi is at the forefront of developing curricula to develop these very sought after surgical skills.

We use machine learning techniques to derive meaningful metrics from surgical videos, both in real operating theatres as well as at our centre in Melle. We are currently looking for a junior profile to help us in expanding these efforts under and assist surgeons for the better. We develop smart algorithms which analyse surgical videos as well as CT/MRI data to better guide surgery. As a training centre, we possess some of the largest datasets available, and of unseen size in scientific literature.

Job description

You are interested in state-of-the-art  natural language processing development focused on deriving semantics and meaning for surgery. You will use existing NLP/machine/deep learning techniques to analyse available datasets as well as develop new frameworks based on the current state-of-the-art. You will collaborate with doctors from different specialities as to generate new datasets. You will use machine learning approaches to derive new heuristics in these surgical datasets and apply your findings across different surgical specialties. You will collaborate with clinicians and computer vision engineers. You are willing to travel to visit congresses and stay on top of state-of-the-art developments in the field.
