We offer research positions at various levels (beginning now): 1. 1 postdoc or up to 2 PhD students, 2. A few undergrad students. The initial contracts will last until the end of this year, with a possible extension of 2 more years. Temporary visits (for a few months) by visiting researchers/students are also possible. Send CV, list of publications (if applicable), brief statement of research interests, and names/email addresses of references to: juergen@idsia.ch Postscript preferred. DEADLINE: March 31 1995. Earlier applications preferred. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ To check whether you share our research interests, have a look at these recent papers: 1. ``On learning how to learn learning strategies'' FTP-host: flop.informatik.tu-muenchen.de (131.159.8.35) FTP-filename: /pub/fki/fki-198-94.ps.gz (use gunzip to uncompress) 2. ``Flat minimum search finds simple nets'' (fki-200-94.ps.gz) 3. ``Semilinear predictability minimization produces orientation sensitive edge detectors'' (fki-201-94.ps.gz) 4. ``Ant_Q: A Reinforcement Learning Approach to Combinatorial Optimization'' FTP-host: fava.idsia.ch (192.132.252.1) FTP-filename: /pub/ant_q/TR.09-ANT-Q.ps.gz Papers 1-3 and others (and a list of publications) can also be retrieved from http://papa.informatik.tu-muenchen.de/mitarbeiter/schmidhu.html or from http://www.idsia.ch/people/juergen.html A significant part of the initial research will focus on the ``incremental self-improvement paradigm'' described in paper 1. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ New address since March 1: Juergen Schmidhuber IDSIA Corso Elvezia 36 6900-Lugano Switzerland juergen@idsia.ch ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This message | Submissions ai+ai-predoc@cs.cmu.edu was sent via | Subscribe/Unsubscribe ai+query@cs.cmu.edu the AI-PREDOC | Available mailing lists include mailing list. | AI-JOBS, LISP-JOBS, PROLOG-JOBS, AI-POSTDOC, AI-PREDOC
