I’m midway through a PhD that blends advanced image processing with data-mining theory, and I need an extra pair of expert hands. The core of your contribution will be rigorous result analysis carried out in Python, built on top of my existing code base for image segmentation and association-rule learning. Key Responsibilities Implement image processing algorithms (classical & deep learning based) in Python Develop and test data mining and machine learning models Perform feature extraction, preprocessing, and dimensionality reduction Work with real-world datasets (images, videos, structured/unstructured data) Reproduce results from research papers and suggest improvements Assist in experiment design, evaluation metrics, and result validation Provide technical support during simulations, debugging, and optimization
