The offered position is part of a newly started machine learning effort at Örebro University for which we collaborate with researchers at Cambridge University. The topic for this position is machine learning for continual learning and dataset shift and entails fundamental research on data efficient and interpretable models and algorithms. For this project, we will investigate methods for learning, updating, and forgetting for domains where data is incrementally available or changes over time. The focus will be on deciding when and how to integrate new data and when and how to forget previously seen data. Goal of the project is to devise interpretable and data efficient machine learning algorithms and models that work under realistic conditions. Research in this project will be performed in close collaboration with other doctoral students and post-docs at Örebro University.
The successful candidate is autonomous, shows strong and independent problem solving and critical analytical abilities. Furthermore, the candidate, has the ability to co-operate and possesses personal maturity. Fluent spoken and written command of English is absolutely essential. Besides that, the candidate should demonstrate knowledge in probabilistic methods and have interest in mathematics and robotics. Experience with data collection for machine learning, robotic sensing and control, deep learning and relevant software frameworks, as well as working in an interdisciplinary research environment are valuable merits. For the top-ranked candidates, personal qualities, meritorious knowledge and experience, and suitability will be assessed during an interview.
The position is with the Center for Applied Autonomous Sensor Systems (AASS) at Örebro University and is funded through the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP). The doctoral student will belong to the WASP graduate school. AASS (
