Contract
This is a UNV contract. More about UNV contracts.
The Online Volunteers will participate in developing and applying machine learning processes, particularly in the field of Natural Language Processing to analyze and classify textual data related to development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Online Volunteers will have an opportunity to choose the specific project they would like to join and form a team under SDG AI Lab supervision. The Online Volunteers are expected to do data processing, converting unstructured records into a structured format, data annotation, data cleaning and applying unsupervised and supervised machine learning algorithms if applicable. SDG AI Lab will support the Online Volunteers as needed, with a bi-weekly check-in via Zoom and maintain a connection through MS Teams and GitHub Repository. The Online Volunteers will work under the coordination of the Technical Specialist of IICPSD.
