| [ML] Summer internship at NASA Ames
The Automated Software Engineering Group at the NASA Ames Research
Center is seeking applications for
Student Internships
during the summer of 2001. The group is situated in the heart of
Silicon Valley and maintains strong ties to the academic community
(Stanford, Berkeley, CMU) as well as to other research groups
within and outside NASA. For more information on the ASE group see
http://ase.arc.nasa.gov/.
We are performing research in cutting-edge projects on software
verification and program synthesis, i.e., automatic generation of
code from high-level specifications. Applicants are invited to
actively participate in research on the
Automatic Synthesis of Data Analysis Programs
from statistical models. We are developing the AutoBayes system
which uses Bayesian networks to represent the specification and
can generate C and C++ code from such models. The system can for
example generate code for a variety of mixture problems using the
EM algorithm. We plan to extend the system by adding more learning
algorithms.
Successful applicants should thus have a solid knowledge in sta-
tistics and machine learning algorithms, preferably for classi-
fication and time-series analysis.
NASA Ames offers different student internship programs. American
citizens and permanent residents are eligible for the RIACS SSRP
program which offers up to two stays of 10 weeks each during the
summer and a competitive student continuation award. Students who
are eligible for SSRP should apply directly for the program no
later than Febrauary 15; for further details on the program and
the application see

Foreign students should contact
