Job Overview

PhD Position in Model Verification and Validation in Machine Learning

Responsibilities

The PhD student will conduct fundamental research on machine learning methods that return models that provably meet certain conditions. Those conditions may be in the form of deterministic constraints (e.g., monotonicity constraints on the output) or probabilistic properties (e.g., the probability that the learner returns a model with at least some given precision must be >0.9).  The research will focus on machine learning, but link it with verification, constraint solving, and probability theory.

Profile

Candidates must have a Master of Science degree in computer science, or equivalent. They must have expertise in artificial intelligence, and a strong background in at least two of the following topics: machine learning, constraint solving, probability theory.

Offer

A fulltime position as PhD student, initially for 1 year, but extensible to four years.
