Connectionists: PhD position - scalable deep learning and generative models for continual learning at TU Eindhoven

[Decebal Mocanu]

Dear all,

We have an open PhD position on scalable deep learning and generative
models for continual learning at Eindhoven University of Technology, the
Netherlands.

Here are some (possible) starting point references on the topic:
1) "*Scalable training of artificial neural networks with adaptive sparse
connectivity inspired by network science*", *Nature Communications*, 2018,
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-04316-3; Code:
https://github.com/dcmocanu/sparse-evolutionary-artificial-neural-networks
2) "*One-Shot Learning using Mixture of Variational Autoencoders: a
Generalization Learning approach*", *AAMAS* 2018,
https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.07645
3) "*Online Contrastive Divergence with Generative Replay: Experience
Replay without Storing Data*"*,* 2016, https://arxiv.org/abs/1610.05555
4) "*Factored four way conditional restricted Boltzmann machines for
activity recognition*", *Pattern Recognition Letters*, 2015,
https://pure.tue.nl/ws/portalfiles/portal/3945755/45733135134994.pdf

For informal inquires please feel free to contact me at d.c.mocanu at tue.nl
(please use "PhD position - generative models" in the subject).

Working language is English. The PhD student will be an employee of the
university and will have a broad package of fringe benefits, e.g. excellent
sports facilities, pension scheme, holiday allowance, end year bonus; and
he/she may be eligible for 30% ruling.

The application procedure (for this vacancy please mention *Position A.
EDIC - Deep Learning* in your cover letter), detailed information,
deadlines, and 3 other related PhD vacancies from my colleagues
(exceptional model mining and predictive analytics for time evolving data)
