Connectionists: Multiple Ph.D. Positions in AI and Machine Learning at Indiana University Bloomington

[Zoran Tiganj]

The Center for Machine Learning at Indiana University brings together over
10 faculty working in areas including theory, reinforcement learning,
statistical learning, speech and audio processing, robotics, planning and
control, medical image processing, graphical models, computational
neuroscience, computer vision, case-based reasoning, and deep learning.

Please visit our Center website at https://cml.luddy.indiana.edu/people/.

Together we have at least 10 PhD positions available for Fall 2022
admission. Topics include:

   - Algorithms for ML: scalable (e.g., parallel, distributed
   round/communication-efficient) algorithms for reinforcement learning,
   online learning, clustering.
   - Probabilistic ML: graphical models, efficient inference algorithms,
   applications, and computational/statistical learning theory.
   - AI: probabilistic planning, unsupervised learning, memory
   augmentation, reinforcement learning, and the connections between planning
   and probabilistic inference.
   - Robotics: planning, decision-making, and learning methods for
   autonomous robotic systems, and coordination approaches for distributed
   multi-robot or swarm systems.
   - Computer Vision: object and action recognition, 3D reconstruction,
   egocentric computer vision, deep learning, and graphical model inference.
   - ML and DL for speech/music/audio processing: speech enhancement,
   source separation, privacy and security for speech/audio applications,
   speech/audio coding, music information retrieval and music signal processing

For all areas ideal candidates should have demonstrable strong math and
theory skills and/or excellent programming and system building skills.
Background in the relevant areas listed above is of course desirable.

Applicants should have received a Bachelor’s degree in computer science,
engineering, statistics, or related fields.

The Center brings together faculty from different departments across the
university, including Computer Science, Intelligent Systems Engineering,
and Statistics. Each faculty has a home department (listed on the website
above) but can advise students in other departments. Please mention the
faculty with whom you would like to work in your Statement of Purpose. You
may apply to multiple programs. For best consideration, please submit
applications by these dates:

   - Computer Science: Priority deadline: December 1, 2021, Second round:
   January 1, 2022
   - Intelligent Systems Engineering: Priority deadline: December 1, 2021,
   Second round: January 1, 2022
   - Statistical Science: Priority deadline: January 15, 2022
