Research Fellow / PhD Candidate in AI Security & Adversarial Machine Learning

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PhD Positions in Multimodal Data Mining and Knowledge-guided Machine Learning&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.simulamet.no/research/research-departments/data-science-and-knowledge-discovery&quot;&gt;Data Science and Knowledge Discovery Department (DataSci)&lt;/a&gt; at Simula Metropolitan Center for Digital Engineering (Oslo, Norway) is looking for highly-motivated, self-driven and curious PhD students with a strong numerical linear algebra and machine learning background.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Simula: solving problems, making a difference.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Simula’s mission is to solve important and fundamental problems of science and engineering, with the main goal of improving society. We do this by concentrating on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.simula.no/research&quot;&gt;five select research areas&lt;/a&gt; in ICT (Information and Communication Technology) and performing excellent research, by developing our people, and by spinning out applicable results into profitable startups.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Job Description&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Research activities at DataSci focus on developing data mining/machine learning (ML) methods, in particular, matrix/tensor decompositions, multimodal data mining, knowledge-guided machine learning, temporal data mining, as well as applications of the developed methods in various fields, specifically, in omics and neuroimaging data analysis. DataSci carries out cutting-edge research on interpretable and explainable methods to jointly analyze multimodal longitudinal data sets.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We are looking for PhD students who will be part of an interdisciplinary research environment with close international collaborators, and is expected to carry out research on one of the following topics:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Project 1. Explainable Multimodal Learning&lt;/strong&gt; – Data sets from diverse sources are collected in many applications to have a better understanding of complex systems such as the human brain, human metabolome, or to detect early risk factors for various diseases. For instance, to detect early life risk factors of various diseases, multi-omics data sets including genetic, longitudinal metabolomics and microbiome data are collected. Such multimodal data sets are often noisy, incomplete, and multiway (i.e., with more than two axes of variation such as subjects, metabolites, and time). Some data sets change in time (e.g., longitudinal measurements) while some are static. A crucial requirement for ML/data science methods to turn such complex data into knowledge is interpretability. An effective data fusion approach which is explainable and interpretable by design is to learn latent embeddings jointly from multiple data sets via coupled matrix/tensor factorizations. The topic of the PhD research will lie at the intersection of multiview/multimodal learning, representation learning, (coupled) tensor factorizations, temporal data mining and unsupervised/self-supervised learning. The project will focus on developing interpretable multimodal data mining methods that can learn coupling relations from data, identify joint vs. distinct embeddings and incorporate time-aware methods.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Project 2. Knowledge-guided Machine Learning&lt;/strong&gt; – While data-driven approaches have achieved promising results, recently there have been significant efforts to develop knowledge-guided ML (KGML) methods to incorporate prior information with the goal of improving performance in terms of generalizability and explainability, and with much smaller data sizes. KGML methods hold the promise to enhance knowledge discovery in data-scarce domains by guiding real data analysis with clean prior information. A traditional approach to incorporate such prior knowledge in ML has been through constraints or regularization terms added to loss functions. However, constraints/regularization terms are often limited in terms of their expressive power of the domain information such as fundamental principles encapsulated in mechanistic models. The topic of this PhD project will lie at the intersection of multiview/multimodal learning, representation learning, (coupled) tensor factorizations, unsupervised/self-supervised learning as well as knowledge-guided ML. This project will focus on formulating an explainable mathematical framework for mechanistically informed data mining methods.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Both projects will use the developed methods in impactful applications, e.g., analysis of (longitudinal) omics data sets and relevant meta variables with the goal of better understanding person-specific development of diseases, in collaboration with postdoctoral/senior researchers at DataSci, and our international partners.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We will consider candidates who have a BS and MS degree &lt;strong&gt;(both) &lt;/strong&gt;in computer science, data science/machine learning, signal processing, and applied mathematics. Other required qualifications include&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;strong background in at least one (or preferably more) of the following topics: numerical linear algebra, numerical optimization, and data mining, proved by top grades,&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;fluency in MATLAB and/or Python with a well-established background in programming, proved by relevant programming courses,&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;an average GPA of at least &lt;strong&gt;B&lt;/strong&gt; in BS, and &lt;strong&gt;A&lt;/strong&gt; in MS,&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;previous experience with low-rank approximations is a plus, and interest in dealing with the challenges of real data is desired but not required,&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;sharing Simula’s core values: respect, ambition, curiosity, and excellence.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All candidates will also have to demonstrate an excellent level of spoken and written English, possess good interpersonal and communication skills and show willingness to work as part of an international team.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Simula Offers&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
