Info Beasiswa 2015 di PhD Positions in Probabilistic Numerics @ MPI for Intelligent Systems, Tübingen

The Emmy Noether Research Group on Probabilistic Numerics, hosted by the Department of Empirical Inference at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Tübingen, Germany, has several open, fully funded positions for PhD students, starting from April 2015 or as soon as possible thereafter.


We develop probabilistic interpretations of numerical tasks and associated methods, particularly in linear algebra, optimization, and the solution of differential equations. Numerical methods infer latent quantities from tractable ones, hence they can be interpreted as learning machines. Doing so opens a new perspective on classic algorithms, and leads to new algorithms that share information between related or chained computations, can be tailored to their task, and shed new light on big old questions. 


Our group has and keeps a machine learning background (we co-authored 3 NIPS papers last year). The MPI IS is a leading institution in machine learning, computer vision and robotics, offering rich social and technological infrastructure for PhD students. Tübingen is a quite international college town in the heart of Europe, the working language at the institute is English.
