Dear all,
we are glad to announce that on the day before the CLADAG conference<http://www.cladag2017.unimib.it/>, which is held in Milan 13-15 September 2017, two satellites events are proposed to young data scientists: an exciting data contest and a generous aperitivo milanese!
DATA CONTEST
The main activity will be the data contest<http://www.cladag2017.unimib.it/youngcladagcontest/>, that is held on the 12th of September 2017 from 9.00 am to 4.30 pm at Politecnico di Milano. The event is sponsored by Data Reply, Oracle and Fondazione Cariplo. During the contest, teams challenge themselves by analyzing the same dataset and proposing a solution to the related statistical problem. Lunch is provided for free for all the participants!
PRIZES
The best teams are awarded with amazing prizes kindly offered by our sponsors. In particular, we mention here the four scholarships for attending ‘The Data Incubator<http://www.reply.com/en/topics/big-data-and-analytics/the-data-incubator>’ course, about advanced techniques for machine learning and applied statistics, offered by Data Reply. Moreover, the winners have the opportunity to show their solutions during a dedicated moment within the CLADAG2017 conference.
APERITIVO
After the competition, in the evening of the 12th of September, an aperitivo milanese<http://www.cladag2017.unimib.it/aperitivo/> is provided for free for all the people attending the contest. Music, drink and food are the keywords of this event!

A research position funded by the EPSRC is available in the group of Dr
Novi Quadrianto on a project titled “EthicalML: Injecting Ethical and Legal
Constraints into Machine Learning Models”. The long-term goal of the
project is to develop a probabilistic machine learning framework with
plug-and-play constraints that is able to handle fairness, transparency,
and confidentiality constraints, their combinations, and also new
constraints that might be stipulated in the future.
The successful candidate will participate in the research activities in the
Predictive Analytics Lab (PAL) co-directed by Dr Quadrianto at Sussex. The
successful candidate will engage in a number of exciting ongoing national
and international research collaborations of PAL (e.g. with the Leverhulme
Centre for the Future of Intelligence, universities in Cambridge, Sydney,
Moscow, and Darmstadt) in the topics of privileged learning, Bayesian
methods, and deep learning. In addition to undertaking high quality
research and publishing in top machine learning conferences/journals
including NIPS, ICML, JMLR, and TPAMI, the PAL group also creates
significant impact by providing support, technology, and highly-trained
specialists to a new generation of technology companies. It is expected
that the successful candidate will take a leadership role in supporting the
group activities including the supervision of Ph.D and MSc students.
The successful candidate will normally be of doctoral level or equivalent
qualification. Research experience in machine learning is essential.
Experience with Bayesian methods and non-convex optimization is a distinct
advantage.
For full details and how to apply see:
