Connectionists: Reminder: Research Fellow/Assistant Professor in Machine Learning (tenure track) - closing date June 23 (one week ahead)

[Michael Felsberg]

The Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP) is
Sweden’s largest individual research program ever; a major national
initiative for strategically motivated basic research, education and
faculty recruitment (see https://wasp-sweden.org). WASP comprises five
Swedish full partner universities and a substantial part of Swedish
industry and commerce. The WASP initiative includes among many
instruments an international recruitment program and the present
announcement aims to strengthen Linköping University specifically in
the field of machine learning within the AI focus-area of WASP. The
goal is to complement the existing excellence in, among others, the
area of Computer Vision (Michael Felsberg).

For this purpose, we seek competence in Machine Learning with focus
particularly on methods, algorithms, and mathematical analysis relevant
to Computer Vision. The developed methods and mathematical tools will
aim at a better understanding of the theories and processes within
statistical and deep learning-based systems.

Possible research topics should match one or more of WASP focus
areas 1) Representation learning and grounding, 2) Sequential decision-
making and reinforcement learning, 3) Learning from small data sets,
GANs and incremental learning, and 4) Multi-task and transfer learning.
Examples for such topics are, but are not limited to, handling of
uncertain input data, propagation of confidences, detection of
anomalies, few-shot and model-agnostic learning, robustness to polluted
training data, enforcement of hard constraints, explainability of
complex networks, and explorative data acquisition. The research fellow
will also explore application areas of this research, e.g., within
forestry, agriculture technology, and synthetic environments for
training autonomous driving.

A successful candidate addressing the area above will be affiliated
with the Computer Vision Laboratory (CVL) at the Department of
Electrical Engineering. Unlike other international universities, thanks
to the teachers' exemption (Lärarundantaget - i.e. the exemption from
employers’ rights to their employees’ patentable inventions),
researchers/academic staff at Swedish universities and colleges of
higher education are given the rights to their own research results.
LiU has support for researchers as inventors, with a unit at the
University that helps the teacher to patent ideas, even fund the
patent application, while the patent is still owned by the researcher.
LiU offers an excellent research environment for you, while you may
choose living in urban or rural environments with commuting distance of
15 min. 

Apply before June 23!
