administrator Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 The Department of Computer Science at the University of Sheffield has a fully funded PhD position in the area of unresolved mathematical issues in deep learning. Deep neural networks are used in many applications, including medical diagnosis, autonomous vehicles and the detection of financial fraud, and thus high confidence in the correctness of the result from a deep neural network is important, with potential serious consequences of an incorrect result. The aim of this project is the identification of the mathematical cause(s) of these unresolved issues, and the development of mathematically robust methods for their solution, thereby ensuring greater certainty in the correctness of the result from a deep neural network. Candidates with a background in numerical analysis and computational methods, and an interest in deep learning are encouraged to apply. The project involves theoretical development and software implementation. The closing date for applications is 24 January 2024. The starting date of the project is October 2024. Candidates are strongly encouraged to contact Dr. Winkler (j.r.winkler@sheffield.ac.uk) to discuss their interest in, and suitability for, the project prior to submitting their application. The award will fund the full tuition fee and the UK stipend, which is currently 18,622 GBP per annum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
