------------------------------------------------------------ PHD POSITIONS IN MACHINE LEARNING/OPTIMIZATION AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, MERCED I am looking for one or more new PhD students to start in Fall 2015, in the interface between machine learning and optimization. Students will be funded through research assistantships, in particular through NSF award IIS-1423515 "Algorithms for accelerating optimization in deep learning", and/or teaching assistantships. Specific interests include developing optimization algorithms based on auxiliary coordinates for deep learning, nonlinear dimensionality reduction and other problems. This work can be tied with specific applications in computer vision (eg segmentation, articulated pose tracking, image registration); computer speech (eg articulatory inversion, audiovisual speech processing); robotics and computer graphics (eg inverse kinematics); sensor networks; and related areas. I'm looking for individuals strongly motivated to earn a PhD in computer science or electrical engineering and publish their work in leading conferences and journals in the areas mentioned above (NIPS, ICML, AISTATS, CVPR, Interspeech, ICASSP, etc.). Desired qualifications: - A BS or preferably an MS in CS, EE, Applied Maths or related areas. - Strong mathematical skills (multivariate calculus, linear algebra, probability & statistics, optimization, numerical analysis, information theory, etc.). - Strong programming ability in Matlab and C/C++. - Research experience in machine learning, speech processing or computer vision. For further information: - My research: http://faculty.ucmerced.edu/mcarreira-perpinan. - EECS graduate group at UC Merced: http://eecs.ucmerced.edu. - Application procedure: http://graduatedivision.ucmerced.edu. - Application deadline: January 15, 2015. The Electrical Engineering & Computer Science (EECS) graduate group at UC Merced consists of 12 core faculty members and over 40 PhD and MS students. The group has collective interests in machine learning, computer vision, speech processing, artificial intelligence, robotics, sensor networks, distributed computing, computer graphics, databases, intelligent systems and computational neuroscience, among others. UC Merced is the tenth campus of the University of California and the first American research university built in the 21st century. It is located in the California Central Valley, at one hour drive from the Yosemite National Park and two hours from San Francisco and the Bay Area.
