Connectionists: Early stage researcher positions (PhD students) in Machine Learning and Biosignal Processing in Bremen, Germany

[Felix Putze]

We are looking for two early stage researchers (fully funded for 4 
years) in the area of Machine Learning and Biosignal Processing within 
the framework of the Collaborative Research Center (CRC) EASE funded by 
the German Research Foundation (DFG). The candidate will become a member 
of the graduate program of the CRC at the Universität Bremen (Germany) 
with the purpose of successfully completing a PhD degree in Computer 
Science. The CRC "Everyday Activity Science and Engineering" (EASE) is a 
fundamental research endeavor to investigate the cognitive information 
processing principles employed by humans to master everyday activities 
and to transfer the obtained insights to models for autonomous control 
of autonomous robotic agents. The aim of EASE is to boost the 
robustness, efficiency, and flexibility of various information 
processing subtasks necessary to master everyday activities by 
uncovering and exploiting the structures within these tasks. As one of 
three major research pillars, research area H “Descriptive models of 
human everyday activity” aims to understand how people perform vaguely 
formulated everyday activities.

Based on state-of-the-art machine learning techniques and an existing 
biosignal processing framework available at Cognitive Systems Lab, the 
task is to develop and implement unsupervised and semi-supervised 
learning algorithms that interpret high-volume multimodal biosignal data 
of humans performing everyday activities. It includes the acquisition of 
a large-scale data collection on everyday activities consisting of 
biosignals related to speech, motion, muscles and brain activity. This 
task will be carried out in collaboration with several Early Stage 
Researcher fellows.
