Come and join us. We're looking for a Research Assistant/Associate in Heritage Science to lead on the 2D GMM analysis of letter outlines extracted from high-resolution photographs of the faces of typographic punches, and Baskerville's printed pages.

This is a fundamental problem for machine learning (ML) because ML models need to be trained on input-output pairs ie problem-solution pairs for language models. To make them output "I don't know", you need to collect all problem-"I don't know" pairs which is not possible.
