We are currently not actively looking for new personnel, but will in general consider exceptional students interested in doctoral studies and strong candidates for post-doctoral researcher positions. Please contact the group leader directly if interested. Some general topics of interest the group is working on right are listed below, and you are advised to relate your interests to these topics. Check also https://fcai.fi/open-positions for possible open positions in artificial intelligence research in several research groups in the Helsinki area.
1. Probabilistic methods, with specific interest on efficient approximate inference (MCMC, Laplace, variational approximation) and flexible models (GPs, flows, diffusion models etc). Examples of our recent activities and work in this area:
2. Collaborative AI and human modelling, with specific interest in eliciting and using tacit human knowledge. Examples of our recent activities and work:
3. Machine learning for science, with specific interest in virtual laboratory as domain-agnostic platform for assisting scientific research and machine learning for ultrasonics and food science applications. We are specifically looking for postdocs interested in AI-assisted design of novel food production processes via use of plant and fermentation-based proteins, to work on the newly launching project in collaboration with VTT as part of a NSF Global Center's program, with background e.g. in Bayesian optimization, physics-informed machine learning, and AI4Science in general. No prior exposure to food sciences is required, but is a clear merit. Examples of our recent activities and work:
