Two PhD Positions in Safe Machine Learning for Control
The Department of Computer Science at Aalborg University has two fully funded PhD positions available within the Computer Science study program. The PhD students will be working on machine-learned control policies with a focus on safety. The earliest starting date is 1 September, 2024. The Department of Computer Science features a broad range of synergistic activities within research and education in the general area of computer science, including curiosity-driven research and targeted research in collaboration with industrial partners, traditional university education with a unique problem- and project-based focus, and continued education and knowledge dissemination.
Jobbeskrivelse
The project addresses the fundamental question of how to trust a neural network that controls a dynamical system. Since neural networks are large black boxes, we need both automatic methods to analyze such systems and human-interpretable certificates of the analysis results. We will devise automatic and sound methods to respectively certify correctness and incorrectness of neural-network controllers. We will also develop a framework that integrates these methods for constructing correct-by-design controllers. Methodologically, we will investigate how traditional computer-science techniques for verification and falsification as well as machine learning can be tailored to these goals. This way, the project lays the grounds towards safe AI control systems.
The selected candidates will be part of the Distributed, Embedded and Distributed Systems research
REQUIREMENTS
Applicants who wish to apply for a 3-year PhD stipend must have a Master's degree in computer science or a closely related field such as mathematics or control engineering. Due to the project's angle, applicants should have a strong background in at least one of the following areas: formal methods, machine learning. Additional knowledge and experience within the following areas are appreciated: formal verification, deep learning, dynamical systems, control theory. Excellent spoken and written communication skills in English are expected.
PhD stipends are normally for a 3-year period, being a requisite to have a relevant Master degree.
