Probabilistic Artificial Intelligence Lab@UNIST
[Descriptions] The Probabilistic Artificial Intelligence Lab (PAIL) at Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) accepts applications for doctoral student in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. We aim to design new computational models and efficient inference algorithms to solve complex real-world problems for intelligent systems. Our lab respects students’ preference on choosing thesis topics, and will provide opportunities to work on various applications (e.g., robotics, environment, network, security and finance). PAIL is closely collaborating with researchers in the Berkeley Lab. Students may also have chances to visit and work with other research groups during graduate studies. [About PAIL@UNIST] Research goal of PAIL is to build new models and algorithms to achieve human-level intelligence. The main research areas are statistical relational learning, efficient inference algorithms with large-scale graphical models, robot planning and spatio-temporal data analysis. Specifically, we focus on building efficient inference algorithms for accurate prediction of future events in large real-world data (e.g., prices of all houses in U.S.). [About UNIST] UNIST is a recently established public research university in Ulsan, Korea. UNIST is one of 5 universities (along with KAIST and POSTECH) which are strongly supported by the Korean government for science and engineering research. All graduate students are fully funded by the university. Our department includes young energetic faculty and student body to lead creations of innovative technology.
[About Ulsan] The Ulsan metropolitan area is the industrial powerhouse of South Korea, and home for the world largest auto assembly plant (Hyundai motors), the largest shipyard (Hyundai heavy industries) and the second largest oil refinery (SK energy). Ulsan has maintained the highest GDP per capita ($56,430 as of 2011) in Korea. Ulsan is close to another metropolitan city Busan (the downtown Busan is less than an hour by car). Seoul can be reached by the high-speed train less than 2.5 hours. [Required Skills] English spoken and written, good knowledge in programming (C++, Java and Matlab) and in machine learning with a strong background in Mathematics. [Application Materials] If you are interested in our lab, please contact Dr. Jaesik Choi (
[email protected]) with a full CV and the statement of purpose. Applications received before August 31th 2013 will receive full consideration.
