Job description

Description

About the Research

This research opportunity is to develop novel methods for information assets selection and content filtering from high dimensional data. Specifically, the opportunity will develop and validate an approach for context aware and adaptive learning models for selecting the most relevant and valuable information assets from high dimensional streaming data and quantification approaches to confidence levels on the models. Specifically, this project focuses on utilizing state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms to dynamically adapt to, or learn from human or agent actions and contextual situations and environments.

Keywords: AI, Machine Learning, Computational modeling, Optimization, Distribution theories, Statistical Inference, Modeling, and Simulation
