PhD fellowship in Trustworthy Machine Learning , Department of Computer Science. Faculty of SCIENCE, University of Copenhagen

The Department of Computer Science (DIKU) at the University of Copenhagen invites applicants for a PhD fellowship in Machine Learning with a particular focus on Trustworthy Machine Learning or learning with imperfect data. Start date is (expected to be) on 1 November 1 2024, or as soon as possible thereafter.

The project

As machine learning algorithms become increasingly prevalent in everyday life, needing substantial volumes of user data, it is critical to consider their societal impacts. This project aims to enhance the trustworthiness—encompassing privacy, fairness, and robustness—of contemporary machine learning algorithms, particularly when faced with inadequate data (e.g., noisy, unlabelled, biased, etc.). Consequently, this project will offer an opportunity to delve into a wide array of topics within modern machine learning, including differential privacy, semi- and self-supervised learning, robust machine learning techniques, and ensuring fairness within machine learning models.

Who are we looking for?

We are seeking exceptional candidates with expertise in Machine Learning and Statistics. Ideal applicants may come from a diverse range of areas within machine learning, such as learning theory, robust and private machine learning, as well as semi-supervised or self-supervised learning approaches. This project encompasses both theoretical and applied sides, inviting applicants with a keen interest in either domain to apply. Additionally, individuals with a background in theoretical aspects of Computer Science or Mathematics, who have prior experience with machine learning, are encouraged to join our team.

Our group and research- and what do we offer?

Our group works on various fundamental topics within machine learning with a recent focus on two areas – 1) robust and private machine learning algorithms and 2) machine learning algorithms with limited or imperfect data. We are also a part of the DeLTA Lab, Pioneer Center of AI, and will work closely with BARC. The group is located in the Department of Computer Science (DIKU), Faculty of SCIENCE, University of Copenhagen. We offer a creative and stimulating working conditions in a dynamic and international research environment.

The project will be supervised by Professor Amir Yehudayoff [xxxxx] and Assistant Professor Amartya Sanyal [xxxxx] in the University of Copenhagen and in collaboration with Professor Varun Kanade [xxxxx] at the University of Oxford.
