Johan just asked me the following:

Dear Igor,

could you please announce these vacancies on Nuit Blanche.

Best regards,
Johan

Sure Johan !

The research group KU Leuven ESAT-STADIUS is currently offering 3 PhD and 3 Postdoc (1 year, extendable) positions within the framework of the ERC (European Research Council) Advanced Grant E-DUALITY http://www.esat.kuleuven.be/stadius/E (PI: Johan Suykens) on Exploring Duality for Future Data-driven Modelling.
Within this ERC project E-DUALITY we aim at realizing a powerful and unifying framework (including e.g. kernel methods, support vector machines, deep learning, multilayer networks, tensor-based models and others) for handling different system complexity levels, obtaining optimal model representations and designing efficient algorithms.
The research positions relate to the following possible topics:

1. Duality principles
2. Multiple data sources and coupling schemes
3. Manifold learning and semi-supervised schemes
4. Optimal prediction schemes
5. Scalability, on-line updating, interpretation and visualization
6. Mathematical foundations
7. Matching model to system characteristics
