The Optimization of Machine Learning Systems Group (Prof. A. Lucchi) at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Basel is looking for several PhD students and post-doctorate to work in the areas of optimization for machine learning, and theory of deep learning. Potential research topics include the development of adaptive optimization methods, the exploration of the loss landscape in deep neural networks, and the design of novel neural network architectures that enhance efficiency in both training and inference.Position available starting around November 2024 (position may begin later in the spring or summer 2025 based on agreement). The duration of a PhD in Switzerland is 4 years. Post-doctoral positions are initially for 2 years, with the potential for extension up to 4 years.See details here:…more
