STI – Postdoc Positions @ LIONS group EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne)
The LIONS group at EPFL has several openings for postdoc fellows for research in machine learning & information processing. Please see our research interests.
Requirements:
- Strong theory background in machine learning, discrete optimization, information theory, statistics, compressive sensing, or other related areas.
- Strong coding skills is a big plus.
- Candidates should have or be close to finishing a PhD degree in electrical engineering, computer science, applied mathematics, or a related field.
- The working language at EPFL is English.
Project Overview
There are two (02) positions that revolve around the following two topics:
Project A: Bayesian optimization, bandits, & reinforcement learning
We seek to develop online algorithms for Bayesian optimization, as well as related problems such as multi-armed bandits, level-set estimation, & reinforcement learning. The algorithms will be characterized theoretically, and also tested in real-world applications including automated hyperparameter optimization with neural networks and personalized education.
Project B: Discrete optimization & submodularity with applications to subsampling
We seek to develop techniques for discrete optimization, with submodularity and related concepts playing a key role. These techniques will be targeted at the application of using data in order to optimally subsample for the purpose of performing a given task, such as estimation in compressive sensing or classification in machine learning. Specific applications will also be explored, including medical resonance imaging (MRI) with multiple coils.
LIONS provides a stimulating, collaborative and fun research environment with state-of-the-art facilities at EPFL. Personal initiative and independent research tasks related with the candidate’s interests are also encouraged.
How to Apply:
Candidates should send their CV, a research statement outlining their expertise & interests, any supplemental information, and a list of at least three (03) references with full contact information to the LIONS Lab Administrator:
