3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Machine Learning
Summary of PhD Program:
The position is connected to the NRC project “CaReLearner: Causal Reasoning with Logical Interpretable Learning” and the Centre for Artificial Intelligence Research. The objective of CaReLearner is to enable a paradigm shift from correlation-driven to scaled-up causality-driven machine learning. Building on the Tsetlin machine, the project deals with the unresolved learning challenge in logical engineering, the scaling challenge of probabilistic causal models, and the correlation-reliance of deep learning. The fellow will get the opportunity to develop novel Tsetlin machine-based approaches for learning causal knowledge from multimodal data (images, time series, natural language, tabular data, etc.), expressed in relational logic.
Application Deadline: 19th November 2023
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Artistic Research: songwriting
Summary of PhD Program:
The creative songwriting process often involves lyrics, composition, and production simultaneously – songwriting and production are now considered two sides of the same coin. Both encompass a wealth of facets and operate across the entire spectrum of commercial and experimental popular music. Research from an insider’s perspective is lacking today, and it is crucial for UiA to be an active participant in current and future practices, both for the sake of research and art, as well as for our students and the education we offer. The discourse surrounding songwriting as an artistic and creative practice, and how we can better understand it as an overlapping activity between different focus areas, will have significance for current and future songwriters, organisations representing songwriters, educators and researchers, and the role that songwriting has and will have as an artistic expression in society in the future.
Application Deadline: 30th October 2023
