Applicants are invited for two PhD fellowships/scholarships at Graduate School of Technical Sciences, Aarhus University, Denmark, within the Electrical and Computer Engineering programme. The positions are available from 01 May 2024 or later. You can submit your application via the link under 'how to apply'.
Title:
Deep Learning for Artificial Intelligence of Things
Research area and project description:
We invite applications for two PhD positions financed by the Horizon Europe project PANDORA and the NordForsk project Nordic University Cooperation on Edge Intelligence (NUEI). The two selected candidates will have good opportunities to work, interact, and network with researchers, scientists, and engineers working in European Universities, Research Institutes, and Companies forming its consortium. In addition, the PhD candidate has opportunities to participate in the summer schools and PhD courses in NUEI.
The first PhD project aims to propose new Deep Learning models for efficient inference of Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) input streams. Such streams can be collected by sensors (e.g., image sequences and sensor time-series) and will be processed in real time. We will build on our recently introduced Continual Inference Networks, which comprise the Continual 3D Convolutional Neural Networks, the Continual Transformer Encoders, and the Continual Spatio-Temporal Graph Convolutional Networks, for enabling the construction of highly optimised inference pipelines that can execute complex models with low latency and high throughput.
The second PhD project aims at developing novel techniques for distributed AI learning and inferencing in the IoT-Edge-Cloud continuum. The project aims to efficiently manage the trade-off between resource utilisation, and inference accuracy, time and energy consumption across the continuum, by adapting to the dynamic changes in the communication networks and data processing environment. We will propose and develop novel algorithms for dynamic workload distribution, load balancing, and energy management, to optimise AI learning and inferencing in the IoT-Edge-Cloud continuum.
As part of the two PhD projects, the selected candidates will interact with the collaborators in the two projects, perform knowledge dissemination, e.g., through conference participation and project reporting to present their work, and have the opportunity to participate in activities of the two projects.
