Syntax AI is a UK-based artificial intelligence company transforming how accountants in general practice access tax knowledge. Today, the vast majority of tax knowledge is still inaccessible. It lives in expert's minds, stuck in static formats, and scattered across dozens of reference books. What if we could unlock it all, and make it accessible to every accountant exactly when they need it
We believe we can. With the help of artificial intelligence.
Salary and Benefits: Market rate plus bonus and share option scheme.
Your Responsibilities
As our first hire in the Knowledge Engineering team, you will play a crucial role in extracting, mapping and maintaining the knowledge systems that enable our Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology to function effectively.
Your responsibilities will encompass several key areas:
Knowledge Representation
1. Ontology Development: Creating and managing ontologies that define the concepts and relationships within a specific tax domain. This helps in organising and structuring knowledge in a way that AI systems can understand and utilise.
2. Knowledge Bases: Developing and curating knowledge bases that store structured information, which can be used by AI applications for reasoning and decision-making.
Rule and Logic Implementation
1. Expert Systems: Designing and implementing rule-based systems that emulate the decision-making abilities of human experts. This involves encoding expert knowledge into a set of rules that the AI system can follow.
2. Inference Engines: Developing inference engines that can apply logical rules to the knowledge base to derive new information or make decisions.
Collaboration with Domain Experts
1. Knowledge Elicitation: Working closely with subject matter experts to extract and formalise their knowledge into a structured format that can be used by AI systems.
2. Validation and Refinement: Collaborating with experts to validate the accuracy and completeness of the knowledge representations and refining them based on feedback.
AI System Development and Maintenance
1. System Design: Contributing to the overall design and architecture of AI systems, ensuring that they are built on a robust knowledge framework.
2. Updates and Maintenance: Continuously updating the knowledge base and rule sets to reflect new information, changing conditions, or improvements in understanding.
