Postdoc position on structured prediction at University of Montreal

Country/Region : Canada

Website : https://mila.umontreal.ca/en/mila/news

Description

Applications are invited for a 2-year postdoctoral position in the
Department of CS and OR of University of Montreal, working with Simon
Lacoste-Julien on the fundamentals of structured prediction.
** I will be at NIPS in Barcelona from Dec 3rd to Dec 10th, so do not
hesitate to catch me to chat about the position. **
The research project is flexible, but related areas of interest include:
- theoretical analysis of structured prediction approaches (old and
new, including but not limited to deep learning ones)
- optimization algorithms, continuous or with combinatorial objects.
The candidate will be a member of the Montreal Institute for Learning
Algorithms (MILA - http://www.mila.umontreal.ca/ ), and collaborations
are encouraged. Close collaborations with Andrea Lodi who leads the
Canada Excellence Research Chair in Data Science for Real-Time
Decision-Making are also possible (
http://cerc-datascience.polymtl.ca/ ).
Candidates mush have a PhD in machine learning or related field such
as statistics or optimization.
Starting date is flexible; it could be as early as January 2017 but
should be earlier than October 2017.
Interested candidates should send a detailed CV, a statement of
research interests, and the names and full contact details (including
