The fellowship is in the scientific area of Machine Learning and is centered on the development and validation of a synthetic data generation algorithm using different approaches to improve understanding of forecasting algorithms in time series and tabular data. The planned work includes a literature review, design of two approaches for the problem, empirical evaluation of the proposed approaches, and writing two research papers.
The work will be carried out at the Department of Informatics Engineering of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP), or at Fraunhofer AICOS, under the scientific supervision of Professor Carlos Manuel Milheiro de Oliveira Pinto Soares.
Eligibility highlights: candidates must hold a PhD in Computer Science or a related field obtained within the three years preceding the application date. The postdoctoral research must be hosted at a different institution from the one where the PhD work was conducted.
