%------------------------------------------------------------------------------% The call for admission to PhD programme in MODELING AND DATA SCIENCE - University of Torino https://dottorato-mds.campusnet.unito.it/do/home.pl (Coordinator: Prof.Laura Sacerdote) is now open. %-------------------------------------------------------------------------------% We offer up to 5 PhD positions (one is reserved to candidates with international qualifications and one is reserved to the project no.9, see below) for up to 3 years. Annual amount of the PhD scholarship is € 17.500 according to DM 40/2019. This sum is subject to separate I.N.P.S. welfare contributions. Course start date is November 1st, 2019. The official language is English. The positions are assigned to specific research projects within the following list: 1. A multi-agent system (MAS) approach to model news spreading 2. A multi-agent system (MAS) modelisation of the mobility by public transport in the City of Turin 3. Quickest detection and failure time problems for industrial data 4. Machine learning in public health 5. Time changed multivariate stochastic models: calibration and fit on financial data. 6. Computable inference for hidden Markov models with orthogonal polynomial eigenstructure 7. Parallel programming models for modern applications: AI and Big Data 8. Privacy-preserving machine learning in complex domains 9. Algorithms and techniques for analyzing vast non-specialized textual corpora in order to extract complex features relevant to conceptual history and the history of argumentation. (research project linked to the scholarship funded by Dipartimento di Filosofia e Scienze dell’Educazione – excellence Department research) This list may be updated until the deadline of Call for Admission to PhD positions. Updates will be published on https://en.unito.it/postdegree/phd/modeling-and-data-science. Application fee is €50.00 for each application submitted.
