About the Project
The current practice includes adversarial ML testing (finding inputs that, when changed minimally from their original versions, get classified differently), fuzz and search-based test input generation. For solving the ‘Oracle problem’ metamorphic relations have been studied – these are transformations of the test data that are expected to yield the same output, or to generate expected changes in the predictive result.
This project will focus on automating ML testing for autonomous driving, but there are other applications areas, including medical image analysis and machine translation for which collaboration opportunities are possible.
Eligibility:
Candidates are expected to hold (or be about to obtain) a minimum 2:1 honours degree (or equivalent) in a related area / subject, e.g. Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mathematics, Machine Learning, etc. MSc, MA or relevant experience in a related discipline is highly desirable.
