--

The machine learning group of the Laboratoire
d'Informatique Fondamentale de Marseille (LIF) at the University of
Aix-Marseille 1 is looking for a post-doctoral researcher to study
statistical machine learning methods for structured data.

The position is funded by the french National Agency of Research (ANR)
and is part of the Lampada project: Learning Algorithms, Models and
sPArse representations for structured DAta.

We are advertising a four year PhD interdisciplinary studentship in the Department of Physics and Astronomy and the Center for Computational Statistics and Machine Learning (CSML) at University College London (UCL), to start October 2010.

CALL FOR PAPERS
Deadline: Friday, 12th February 2010

There are currently a number of opportunities if you are interested in research
at the Intelligent Systems Laboratory of the University of Bristol -
both at the postdoc level and PhD student level,
some for UK students and other for overseas. Deadlines are tight, so please read carefully.

Rsearch topics in the ISL range from statistical learning to web mining, including large scale
data mining and bioinformatics. My own group is mostly focussed on massive scale
pattern analysis, web mining, intelligent systems design, theoretical models of machine learning.

1. Workshop Description

The theory of tree automata has an increasing number of applications in natural
language processing; examples for this can be found in work on topics as diverse as
grammar formalisms, computational semantics, language generation, and machine
translation. Here, the term tree automaton is to be understood in a generic sense,

Ecological interaction networks: Application to ongoing field work in Tanzania

Ecosystems consist of a complex web of interactions: among species, and between species and their environment. Understanding these interactions is important for predicting how factors - such as biological or chemical control agents, grazing pressure, or climate change - may affect ecosystem function. However, unravelling such complex networks of interactions stretches the boundaries of current research; new methods are needed to handle the complexity of real ecosystems.

Dear academic,

The next round of the Newton International Fellowship scheme is currently open and closes on 8 February 2010. The scheme, run by The British Academy, The Royal Academy of Engineering and the Royal Society, aims to attract the world’s best postdoctoral researchers to the UK for two years.
