Post-doctoral position at University of Washington, Seattle The Department of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington, Seattle is offering a one year postdoctoral research position in the areas of machine learning, probabilistic reasoning, and time series learning with application to activity recognition. The starting date could be as early as December 1st, 2006.
This position is funded by a DARPA program in which we develop techniques for automatically generating high-level summaries of human activities based on data collected by wearable sensors. There are a variety of exciting research opportunities in this context, including unsupervised discovery of activities, learning to extract high-level information from various types of sensors, adaptation and transfer learning on sequences, multi-modal information fusion, and efficient reasoning about unknown numbers of objects.
