Harrow Institute

Finland

Samuel Kaski’s research group Probabilistic Machine Learning is searching for postdocs to work on AI fundamentals in exciting projects. The work includes collaboration with the Finnish Center for Artificial Intelligence (FCAI), the Centre for AI Fundamentals at the University of Manchester, the Alan Turing Institute, ELLIS and the new ELLIS Institute Finland, and researchers from other fields.

Prof Kaski is Professor of Computer Science in Aalto University and Professor of AI in the University of Manchester. He is Director of Finnish Center for Artificial Intelligence and ELLIS Unit Helsinki. His research group develops machine learning principles and methods focusing on a few key topics (see “Machine learning foundations” below), often working with researchers of other fields in new exciting applications (see the other topics below).

Topics

Machine learning foundations

Keywords: probabilistic modelling, Bayesian inference, simulation-based / likelihood-free inference, multi-agent RL and collaborative AI, sequential decision making and experimental design, privacy-preserving learning, Bayesian deep learning, generative models

We are looking for a new postdoc in the team which develops probabilistic modelling and Bayesian inference methods. The team has several exciting new machine learning formulations we work on, and opportunities for applying the methods with top-notch collaborators. The core is always development of new methods, and with this call we are looking for talented researchers with background in machine learning, stats or CS (or other directly relevant topics) who are keen on developing the new methods. In the cover letter, let us know what you are interested in - if we are already working on it, all the better, but we are willing to listen to new ideas too.

Machine learning for synthetic biology and biodesign

Keywords: AI-based design, human-in-the-loop machine learning, collaborative AI, molecular modeling, graph neural networks, deep learning algorithms, generative models

We are searching for early career scientists to join our research team working towards next-generation machine learning methods for synthetic biology. The positions are available in two large multi-year projects (BIODESIGN and BIOFOUNDRY) focused on establishing virtual laboratories for protein engineering and biomanufacturing, implemented in collaboration between FCAI and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, and NSF Global Center on biofoundries. The aim of the projects is to design novel AI-based tools for bioengineering. These tools will combine cutting edge machine learning techniques, such as graph neural networks, deep generative models, Bayesian optimization, and human-in-the-loop learning with the synthetic biology expertise of VTT. The virtual laboratories are envisioned to have a wide range of applications in industry (e.g., new biochemicals, biomaterials and drugs), and to help the transition to a carbon-neutral society.

Applicants should have a strong academic record in computer science, mathematics, or statistics. Solid research experience in one or more of the following fields is beneficial: AI-based design, Deep learning algorithms, Generative models, Human-in-the-loop machine learning, Collaborative AI, Molecular modeling, Reinforcement learning, Structured prediction.

The successful applicants will join a world-class research team with top AI researchers from FCAI and synthetic biology experts from VTT.

Real-time AI-assistance with computationally rational user models

Keywords: collaborative AI, human-in-the-loop ML/RL, reinforcement learning, user modelling

Despite recent advances in AI and machine learning, there are few AI solutions that can be applied when we cannot precisely specify the objective or do not have suitable data to learn from. This is particularly salient and challenging in ad hoc assistance for human users in complex tasks such as scientific discovery. 

This project aims to address this issue by learning these objectives, and to assist, directly from interaction with the users. To do so, we develop reinforcement learning techniques for AI-assistants and computationally rational user models that take into account factors such as cognitive biases to reason about human decision-making. We push state-of-the-art in AI that, through inference over - and planning with - such user models, is able to tackle problems that are otherwise out of reach of mainstream AI solutions. 

Supported by a High-performance computing grant from the Research Council of Finland, we are looking to strengthen this team with postdocs with a strong academic record in computer science, mathematics, or statistics. Solid research experience in one or more of the fields listed under this topic is beneficial.

Team: this project will be carried out with a top expert on computational rationality, Prof. Andrew Howes of University of Exeter,  and experts in application domains.

Next generation distribution shifts

Keywords: distribution shift, out-of-distribution generalization, robust deployment, deep learning, experimental design

Robust algorithms for machine learning models are vital as the deployed scenario can differ from the training scenario in unexpected ways. Placing assumptions on the kind of distribution shift we expect, such as covariate or label shift, and accounting for it during training is common practice. However, these assumptions are often too restrictive for real-world settings, as the shifts encountered are typically more complex. Moreover, it is difficult to know a priori which shifts we need to account for. This project focuses on developing novel machine learning methods  that demonstrate robust performance by adapting to unforeseen shifts and diverse datasets during deployment.

We are looking for applicants with a strong academic record in computer science, mathematics, or statistics. Solid research experience in one or more of the following fields is beneficial: distribution shift, out-of-distribution generalization, out-of-domain generalization, sequential experimental design.

Your experience and ambitions

We expect the candidates to hold or be close to getting a relevant doctoral degree and have a solid background in the mathematics/statistics/computer science needed in machine learning.

Previous experience in the application fields is an advantage. Capability of both independent work and teamwork, and excellent written and spoken English are necessary.

What we offer

We provide

RESEARCH ENVIRONMENT

You will work in Professor Samuel Kaski’s research group (Probabilistic Machine Learning Group). We design collaborations as we go, according to what the research needs.
