[François Fleuret]

The Machine Learning Group at the [1]University of Geneva, headed by 
[2]Prof. Francois Fleuret, has five open PhD positions in the field of 
deep machine learning, with a particular interest for reinforcement 
learning, interpretability, density models in large dimension, anomaly 
detection, and computational reduction.

These positions are funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation and 
the University of Geneva, and salaries are highly competitive.

Ideal starting time is Fall 2020 but can be delayed until early 2021.

Applicants must be seasoned programmers used to development with modern
