| EPSRC/BT funded Industrial CASE Studentship
Applications are invited for a 3 year PhD research studentship to work on a project entitled "High Performance Fusion Systems" which is jointly funded by EPSRC and British Telecommunications plc (BT) under the EPSRC CASE scheme.
The proposed research project will investigate and develop various approaches for highly efficient multiple classifier (prediction) systems composed of actively generated, well performing and decorrelated classifiers (predictors). The emphasis will be put on the automatic avoidance of data overfitting accompanied by complexity and reliability control appropriate for potential industrial applications.
Combination, aggregation and fusion of information are major problems for all kinds of knowledge-based systems, from image processing to decision making, from pattern recognition to automatic learning. Various statistical, machine learning and hybrid intelligent techniques will be used for processing and modelling of imperfect data and information.
The student will be joining a Computational Intelligence Research Group and will be primarily based in the School of Design, Engineering & Computing in Bournemouth but will also spend up to 3 months in each year of the project duration at the BT Exact in Ipswich.
The studentship carries a remuneration starting at a minimum of £12000 pa tax-free (suitably increased in subsequent years) and payment of tuition fees at home/EU rate. The successful applicant will need to have a permanent residency status in the UK.
Applicants should have a strong mathematical background and hold a first or upper second class honours degree or equivalent in computer science, mathematics, physics, engineering, statistics or a similar discipline. Additionally the candidate should have strong programming experience using any or combination of C, C++, Matlab or Java. Knowledge of ORACLE will be an advantage.
For further details please contact Dr. Bogdan Gabrys, e-mail: [email protected].
Interested candidates should send a letter of application and a detailed CV with the names and addresses of two referees to: Dr. Bogdan Gabrys, Computational Intelligence Research Group, School of DEC, Bournemouth University, Poole House, Talbot Campus, Poole, BH12 5BB, UK. The applications can be also sent by e-mail.
