Connectionists: Postdoctoral and PhD student positions in machine learning, Finnish Center for Artificial Intelligence

[Alexander Ilin]

Finnish Center for Artificial Intelligence ( FCAI; http://fcai.fi ) is
looking for exceptional doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers
to tackle complex and exciting problems in the field of machine
learning. Come and join us to create the Real AI that is
data-efficient, trustworthy and understandable!

FCAI brings together the world-class expertise of Aalto University and
the University of Helsinki in AI research, strengthened further with
an extensive set of companies and public sector partners, creating an
attractive, world-class ICT hub in Helsinki metropolitan area.

Our research agenda is spearheaded by 5 research programs with
multiple research groups involved in each. We are currently hiring
doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers in the following FCAI
research programs and the detailed projects listed below.

Research programs:
1.      Agile probabilistic AI. Keywords: Probabilistic programming;
Robust and automated Bayesian machine learning
2.      Simulator-based inference: Approximate Bayesian Computation
ABC; likelihood-free inference; Generative adversarial networks (GAN);
applications in many fields including medicine, materials design,
visualization, business, …
3.      Next generation data-efficient deep learning; including deep
reinforcement learning
4.      Privacy-preserving and secure AI: Privacy-preserving machine
learning; differential privacy; adversarial machine learning
5.      Interactive AI: Interactive machine learning; probabilistic
inference of cognitive models from data; probabilistic programming for
behavioral sciences
