Mission confiée

We are looking for candidates interested in the following topics
• developing machine learning techniques that are data efficient—that is, that are able to
learn without massive amounts of labeled training data.
• optimization for machine learning, with a focus on computational efficiency.
• pluri-disciplinary ML-related research, with potential collaborations in other scientific
fields.
The topic is broad on purpose. We expect the candidate to be autonomous, creative, and ready
to collaborate with PhD students and other researchers from the team.

Principales activités

conducting scientific research, communicating ideas, writing papers, write open-source code.

Compétences

We welcome candidates with a PhD degree in machine learning or related
fields, with publications in top venues (e.g., ICML/NeurIPS/JMLR for machine learning, Math.
Prog. or SIAM J. Optimization for optimization, CVPR/ECCV/ICCV/PAMI/IJCV for com-
puter vision...).
