At the Department of Electrical Engineering, Division of Automatic Control, we are now looking for a PhD student, to be admitted to the WASP graduate school.
Your work assignments
The research area of this WASP-financed project is machine learning, in particular dealing with generative models and instabilities associated with cycles of retraining on mixtures of human and machine-generated data. The task is to understand phenomena like “model collapse” and implementing strategies to avert it, using tools from the Systems and Control field.
Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP) is Sweden’s largest individual research program ever, a major national initiative for strategically motivated basic research, education and faculty recruitment. The program addresses research on artificial intelligence and autonomous systems acting in collaboration with humans, adapting to their environment through sensors, information and knowledge, and forming intelligent systems-of-systems. The vision of WASP is excellent research and competence in artificial intelligence, autonomous systems and software for the benefit of Swedish industry. Read more on WASP at wasp-sweden.org.
