Multiple Post-docs at U. of Toronto in AI / ML / Deep Learning

Over the next 1-2 months, I expect to have multiple post-doc openings for different AI / ML / Deep Learning research projects at the U. of Toronto:

(1) Bayesian Methods for Deep Learning
(2) Deep Learning for Traffic Prediction and Deep RL for Traffic Control
(3) Deep Learning and Embedding Methods for Financial Prediction from Social Media
(4) Deep Learning for Conversational Recommendation Systems

Salaries for all positions would be approximately CAD $54,000 per year. Initial offers would be made for one year with possibility of renewal for one or more years. Post-docs are expected to publish in the top venues relevant to the project research area and to produce high-quality deliverable code for use by research funding partners.

If you are interested, please email [email protected] with the following:

(a) your CV (clearly listing all publications),
(b) your github or bitbucket public account link with projects that I can browse (if you don't have this, please do not apply),
(c) 1-2 sentences in your email stating which position(s) interest you and why you think you are appropriate for the position.

Deadline: rolling until all positions become available and are filled (all offers expected to be made by Oct 1, 2019 at the latest).

PhD position on "Robust Deep Learning in the Physical World" at Bosch Center for Artificial Intelligence

PhD - Robust Deep Learning in the Physical World
Jan Hendrik Metzen (https://scholar.google.de/citations?user=w047VfEAAAAJ)
Bosch Center for Artificial Intelligence (bosch-ai.com)
Renningen, Germany (https://www.bosch.de/en/our-company/bosch-in-germany/renningen/)
Job description:
Deep learning (DL) has achieved remarkable results for perceptual tasks within the last decade. However, DL-based perception often lacks sufficient robustness for real-world applications, as exemplified by the existence of adversarial examples and the fragility in face of natural distortions not foreseen during training. Besides, there is growing evidence that DL-based perception works differently than human perception on a fundamental level, e.g. relying overly strong on texture cues and on brittle characteristics of the training data.

In this PhD, we want to work on fundamentally new methods for DL, for instance new network architectures, new training procedures, or new regularization schemes.
The results should be published at the top-tier machine learning venues.

Qualifications:
* Personality: Communicative and team player
* Working Practice: Independent, motivated to work in an interdisciplinary and international team
* Experience and Knowledge: With deep learning frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, etc.), basic knowledge of machine learning and deep learning, strong programming skills, in particular Python and strong mathematical background
* Languages: Very good in English (written and spoken)
* Education: Excellent degree (Master) in computer science, mathematics or related fields with excellent marks.

Additional Information:

Looking forward to your application!
