  • Mentorship: You'll be paired with a Talkspace mentor to guide you throughout the program.

What You’ll Do:

  • Build and refine tools for model training and evaluation specifically for conversational data.
  • Design and apply methods for keyword/topic extraction, emotion/sentiment identification, and text summarization to de-identified transcripts.
  • Analyze conversational dynamics to determine which patterns correlate with patient engagement, adherence, and clinical improvement.
  • Assist in translating clinical research questions into machine learning workflows.
  • Apply the NLP framework to specific demographic cohorts (e.g., veterans, teens, women) to identify unique therapeutic needs.
  • Synthesize complex technical methodologies and findings into academic-quality manuscripts.
  • Prepare at least one manuscript for submission to a top-tier peer-reviewed journal (e.g., Nature Digital Medicine or JMIR).
  • Implement best practices in AI ethics and bias mitigation.

Qualifications

  • Strong proficiency in Python and SQL, with experience in NLP libraries.
  • Familiarity with deep learning frameworks and LLM fine-tuning/prompt engineering.
  • Experience with cloud-based environments (AWS) is a plus.
  • Proven track record of research, evidenced by at least one peer-reviewed publication or workshop paper in a relevant venue.
  • Understanding of healthcare data privacy (HIPAA) and a commitment to identifying and mitigating bias in AI models.
