    Nowadays, so much new and complex software is being developed that there are not enough specialists to properly test all this software. As a result, companies need more time/resources for developing software, and their products (which we all use) may contain critical bugs. Therefore, there is a great need for algorithms for automatic software testing. Your...

PhD Candidate for the Donders Centre for Cognition: Designing Novel Monte Carlo Algorithms

4 maanden geleden


Nijmegen, Nederland Radboud University Voltijd

In this PhD position you will develop and analyse a new class of Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms (such as Gibbs Sampling and Metropolis-Hastings) that make use of a novel technology that is currently only available in specialist labs. Using dedicated photonic manipulation, researchers can build covarying bits out of magnetic fields at the nanoscale that can be used at speeds that are orders of magnitude faster than current CMOS technology. In order to demonstrate the computational power of so-called synchronised stochasticity for approximate Bayesian inference, you will develop novel MCMC algorithms that make use of this feature for energy, time and space efficiency. In addition to algorithm development, implementation (using an emulator) and simulation, you will also work on analysing the theoretical properties of these algorithms using the mathematical framework of randomised complexity theory.

You will be part of both the Probabilistic Graphical Models group at the Donders Centre for Cognition and the interdisciplinary team of researchers and PhD candidates on this consortium project. In addition to research in this domain, you will contribute to academic teaching in the BSc and MSc programmes in AI, follow courses offered by the Donders Graduate school and the national IPA and SIKS research schools, and collaborate with inspiring colleagues in the international PGM research community.
