Applications are invited for a Research Fellow in Mathematical
Optimization for Machine Learning, to be based in the School of
Mathematical Sciences at the University of Southampton. The post
is a key part of a new research project funded by the Engineering
and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).<br>
<br>
Location: Highfield Campus<br>
Salary: £34,314 to £37,386 Per annum<br>
Full time for 1 year - extension possible if further funding is
secured<br>
Closing date: Saturday 20 May 2023<br>
Interview date: To be confirmed<br>
Reference: 2261823PJ<br>
<br>
This project is part of an initiative between the University of
Southampton and University College London, with IBM UK as
industrial partner, to bring together bilevel optimization and
machine learning experts to explore the most tractable ideas to
build optimization theory and numerical schemes to address timely
problems at the intersection of bilevel optimization and machine
learning. The aim of this project, as the first step of this
collaboration framework, is to review the literature to build a
picture of the potential of bilevel optimization in machine
learning. This work will therefore set the foundation of this
initiative with the development of basic theoretical and numerical
results for a better understanding of the structure of such
problems.<br>
