| Background:
The Learning and Content Analysis (LCA) group of the Xerox Research Centre Europe (XRCE) is developing data mining technologies.
LCA currently focuses on developing new solutions for:
1. Multilingual applications: multilingual lexicon extraction, cross-language information retrieval, machine translation systems
2. Multimedia mining: categorization, clustering and retrieval of multimedia data
3. Device mining for diagnostics, where devices are considered either in isolation or connected via a network.
Description:
The successful candidate will mainly contribute to the device and multimedia mining activities, and will be in charge of:
1. Providing original contributions advancing the state of the art in multimedia and device mining, including:
· Designing models for data analysis, categorization and prediction
· Designing proper estimation procedures for these models, and associated algorithms
· Implementing and testing new solutions on real-life data
2. Interacting with the Software Development and Engineering group of XRCE to transfer research prototypes.
All these activities will be conducted in close collaboration with other members of the same group and other groups. XRCE also maintains a high level of publications (in both journals and conferences) and patents. We expect the successful candidate to be part of these efforts.
Technical requirements:
Ph.D in Computer Science or Statistics, with excellent knowledge of machine learning (especially statistical learning) and data mining techniques. Good programming skills in C, C++, Python or Matlab. A good command of English is required, as well as open-mindedness and the will to collaborate with a team.
Application deadline:
End of April, 2006
