We are seeking six PhD candidates and a postdoctoral researcher for the
recently established Mercury Machine Learning Lab (MMLL).
In this lab, researchers from the University of Amsterdam (UvA) and
Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) will be working together with
data scientists from Booking.com to develop the machine learning
foundations for a new generation of recommendation systems. Motivated by
real-world problems faced in industry, we will investigate fundamental
problems regarding generalization and bias removal in data analysis, and
develop more usable machine learning and reinforcement learning techniques.
As part of the MMLL initiative, the University of Amsterdam and the
Delft University of Technology are inviting applications for the
following six fully funded PhD positions:
Position 1: Bridging online and offline evaluation (supervisor:
Maarten de Rijke, UvA)
Position 2: Avoiding filter bubbles by correcting for selection
bias (supervisor: Joris Mooij, UvA)
Position 3: Domain generalization and domain adaptation
(supervisor: Joris Mooij, UvA)
Position 4: Training NLP Models for Better Generalisation
(supervisors: Ivan Titov & Wilker Aziz, UvA)
Position 5: Model-based Exploration (supervisors: Matthijs Spaan &
Frans Oliehoek, TU Delft)
Position 6: Parallel Model-based Reinforcement Learning
(supervisors: Matthijs Spaan & Frans Oliehoek, TU Delft)
More details on the contents of the MMLL research projects are provided
on the MMLL webpage, https://icai.ai/mercury-machine-learning-lab/
In addition, the University of Amsterdam invites applications for a
postdoctoral researcher to assist with the research and the supervision
of the PhD students.
