In a new research group in Intelligent Systems at the University of
Innsbruck, to be directed by Prof. Justus Piater, multiple positions
will shortly be available for postdoctoral researchers and doctoral
students.

* Our Opportunities

These (non-permanent) university research staff positions are not tied
to any specific research projects. Research topics are negotiable
within the range of activities of the research group. Topics of
particular interest include:

- gesture-based human-computer interaction
- video analysis for sign language transcription

-- Overview --

In statistics and machine learning, the evaluation of algorithms
typically relies on their performance on data. This is because, in
contrast to a theoretical guarantee (e.g. a consistency result), it is
in general not possible to prove that an algorithm performs well on a

Research Scientist in Text Mining
----------------------------------

The Cross-Language Technologies (CLT) group of the Xerox Research Centre
Europe conducts research in Statistical Machine Translation and in Information
Retrieval, Categorization and Clustering using advanced machine learning methods.

The group is looking for a talented researcher with skills than can both integrate well
and complement the current team. The ideal profile is:
• Ph.D in Mathematics (Statistics), Natural Language Processing or Computer Science;

Research Associate in Statistics, - Ref:1151366

UCL Department / Division: Statistical Science
Grade 7
Hours: Full Time
Salary (inclusive of London allowance): £31,778-£38,441 per annum

Duties and Responsibilities

To develop novel methodology for multiple time series, as well as adapting
the theory to the analysis of neuroscientific and other applied time
series problems in collaboration with other departments in UCL.
The post is funded by EPSRC initially for three years.

Key Requirements

A strong background is required in one or more of mathematical statistics,

We are delighted to announce an updated release of the GPML Toolbox.

The code as well as the documentation and a tutorial can be obtained from
http://www.gaussianprocess.org/gpml/code

The GPML toolbox implements approximate inference algorithms for
Gaussian processes such as Expectation Propagation, the Laplace
Approximation and Variational Bayes for a wide variety of likelihood
functions for both regression and classification. It comes with a large
algebra of covariance and mean functions allowing for flexible
modeling.

Requirements: octave 3.2.x or matlab 7.x

Zulu was a active learning competition, where participants were to build
algorithms that can learn deterministic finite automata (DFA) by making
the smallest number of membership queries to a server/oracle
(seehttp://labh-curien.univ-st-etienne.fr/zulu/). The competition
