[Job-offers-cs] Postdoc Position in Information Theory at OIST (Amedeo Roberto Esposito)

[Pekka Orponen]

Dear all,

I have various postdoc positions at OIST in Okinawa, Japan, starting 
right away. The successful candidate would work directly with me and the 
topic can vary based on common interests.

Actual areas of interest include:

- information measures;
- concentration of measure in non-classical settings (non iid);
- information-theoretic bounds on the generalisation error of learning 
algorithms;
- estimation theory;
- hypothesis testing in non-classical settings;
- estimation and prediction in biological settings;
- properties (contraction) of Markovian and non-Markovian operators on 
probability measures;
- variational characterisations of information measures;

Knowledge of measure theory and functional analysis is strongly appreciated.

If you know someone that might be interested please kindly forward them 
this email.

Best,

Amedeo Roberto Esposito
