Connectionists: Fully-funded PhD Position on "Automated Deep Learning" at Robert Bosch Corporate Research (Renningen, Germany)

[Metzen Jan Hendrik (CR/AEY2)]

Applications for a PhD position focusing on the development of "Automated Deep Learning" methods are invited. The PhD position is funded by Robert Bosch GmbH and located at the company's new center for research and advance engineering in Renningen, Germany (www.bosch-renningen.de/en/). More details can be found below or under the URL https://www.bosch-career.de/bewerben/jobsearch/-/cui/job/ZRB_UNREG_SEARCH/en/567D863A01021EE69D97FB4FFB73DDF4.
More details:
Deep learning is currently one of the most exciting fields in machine learning and artificial intelligence. The number of impressive applications is increasing fast, for example in computer vision, speech recognition, but also in learning control. Besides applications, there are many challenging unsolved theoretical questions involved. At our machine learning group, practical as well as theoretical deep learning questions arise. Thus, the research direction of the PhD can be shaped according to the profile and interest of the PhD candidate. Established contacts to excellent academic institutes will be employed for PhD supervision. Part of the position are:

·         Development and implementation of "automated machine learning" algorithms that support the process of devising, training, and deploying novel architectures for convolutional and recurrent deep neural networks.

·         Extending methods for automated machine learning (e.g., Bayesian Optimization) such that they can optimize the structure of deep neural networks along with their hyperparameters

·         Empirical evaluation of the developed methods on public and corporate datasets for image classification, semantic segmentation, action recognition, and time-series analysis

·         Technical discussions and creation of new ideas & applications within the existing deep learning research team, strong collaboration within a diverse research team

·         Publications at top tier conferences and journals

·         Focus on PhD thesis ensured, no project work required
What distinguishes you:

·         Masters degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Engineering or similar

·         Profound knowledge of Machine Learning, preferably Deep Learning or Bayesian Optimization

·         Good programming skills, preferably experience with the scientific Python stack and theano or tensorflow

·         Personal commitment

·         Teamplayer and flexibility

·         Fluent spoken and written in English
