Applications are invited for a 3-year fully funded PhD scholarship in the area of Adaptive Neural Networks.

Machine Learning solutions are critically dependent of their training. Neural Networks can only perform a specifically defined task and are unable to learn a process or a function that evolve in context. To solve these context changing problems, different techniques have been proposed but they still fall short in a number of aspects.

Neuroevolution is one of the most promising methods, which constitutes a general and effective method that can be applied to a wide range of problems. It presents several advantages with respect to alternative training methods for neural networks. Therefore, more work needs to be done to improve adaptation of current neural networks models including Neuroevolution methods, so that they can adapt and evolve in context.

During your PhD project, you will explore relevant solutions and develop and experiment with new adaptive models, which will be tested on relevant benchmarks and some real-world applications such as healthcare, games and finance.
