Connectionists: PhD and Postdoc positions KU Leuven (ERC Advanced grant E-DUALITY)

[Johan Suykens]

The research group KU Leuven ESAT-STADIUS is currently offering 3 PhD 
and 3 Postdoc (1 year, extendable) positions within the framework of the 
ERC (European Research Council) Advanced Grant E-DUALITY 
http://www.esat.kuleuven.be/stadius/E (PI: Johan Suykens) on Exploring 
Duality for Future Data-driven Modelling.

Within this ERC project E-DUALITY we aim at realizing a powerful and 
unifying framework (including e.g. kernel methods, support vector 
machines, deep learning, multilayer networks, tensor-based models and 
others) for handling different system complexity levels, obtaining 
optimal model representations and designing efficient algorithms.

The research positions relate to the following possible topics:
-1- Duality principles
-2- Multiple data sources and coupling schemes
-3- Manifold learning and semi-supervised schemes
-4- Optimal prediction schemes
-5- Scalability, on-line updating, interpretation and visualization
-6- Mathematical foundations
-7- Matching model to system characteristics
