Key job responsibilities
As an Applied Scientist, you will leverage your technical expertise and experience to demonstrate leadership in tackling large complex problems. You will collaborate with applied scientists and engineers to develop novel algorithms and modeling techniques to build the knowledge graph that delivers fresh factual knowledge to our customers, and that automates the knowledge graph construction pipelines to scale to many billions of facts. Your first responsibility will be to solve entity resolution to enable conflating facts from multiple sources into a single graph entity for each real world entity. You will develop generic solutions that work fo all classes of data in AKG (e.g., people, places, movies, etc.), that cope with sparse, noisy data, that scale to hundreds of millions of entities, and that can handle streaming data. You will define a roadmap to make progress incrementally and you will insist on scientific rigor, leading by example.
