Connectionists: [Studies] [News] A fully funded PhD position in Computer Vision

[Vivek Singh]

Dear all,

We have an exciting and fully funded PhD position at the University of Plymouth. The PhD focuses on incremental knowledge addition for human activity analysis in open-world scenarios.

This is a fantastic opportunity to work on cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence research with a dynamic and supportive team. The project focuses on advancing open-world learning by enabling AI models to incrementally learn new activities without retraining. The project addresses the key challenges in human activity analysis for public safety domain.

Research Focus

  1.
Transitioning from traditional closed-set classification to an open-world framework
  2.
Integrating continual learning to adapt to new activities while minimizing catastrophic forgetting
  3.
Applying the framework to real-world public safety scenarios, particularly in elderly and assisted living care
