Connectionists: Postdoc position, 12 months, deep neural networks

[Hans du Buf]

The Vision Laboratory is a small group (2 postdocs plus
7 PhD students plus 3 MSc students) which develops models
of visual perception. Our V1 models of simple, complex and
end-stopped cells run on multi-core CPUs and in real time
on GPUs. We are now developing NN hierarchies for object
detection and recognition in complex scenes on mobile robots.

We need a postdoc who is really specialized in NN architectures.
Keywords: hierarchies, redundancy, sparse coding, Gripon-Bessou
NNs (a special form of Hamming NNs with cliques in the output
layers), learning, CPU and GPU programming, cognitive robotics.

Start: preferably March 1st, 2014, or soon after.
Duration: 12 months.
Remuneration: 1495 euro/month - exempt from taxation!
Ample money: for computers and conferences.
Location: sunny Algarve, Portugal.

This is a preliminary announcement. The project funding has
been approved, but there is an administrative procedure
which must be applied with specific data and deadlines.
Nevertheless, interested postdocs and PhD students who
will defend their thesis before or in March should contact
us asap. Pls send email with CV to Prof. Joao Rodrigues
(jrodrig at ualg.pt) or to me (dubuf at ualg.pt).

Note: we need a NN EXPERT, not someone who has applied
some 2/3-layer NN classifier.
Regards,
Hans
