Prof B Gabrys
Applications accepted all year round
Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)
About the Project
Applications are invited for a 3 year, fully funded PhD research studentship to work on a project entitled "Automatic composition, optimisation and adaptation of multi-component predictive systems".
The research conducted in this project will build on a recent research in Prof. Gabrys group concerned with the automation of predictive systems building, deployment and maintenance. It will also extend an open-source software (https://github.com/dsibournemouth/autoweka) which allows to automatically compose, optimise and adapt mutlicomponent predictive systems (MCPS) potentially consisting of multiple data preprocessing, data transformation, feature and predictive model selection and postprocessing steps. Our findings, supported by extensive experimental analysis, and further research in this area are expected to have a major impact on development of high quality predictive models as well as their maintenance and scalability aspects needed in modern applications and deployment scenarios.
The student will be joining the Advanced Analytics Institute in Sydney and work primarily with Prof. Gabrys but will also have an outstanding opportunity to gain a diverse experience of both academic and commercial environments for which the AAi is very well known.
Applicants should have a very strong mathematical and computational background and hold a good Bachelor or Master's degree in computer science, mathematics, physics, engineering, statistics or a similar discipline. Additionally the candidate should have very strong programming skills and experience using any or combination of Java, C++, Python, R and Matlab. Knowledge of and exposure to the big data platforms and technologies will be an advantage.
