Postdoc position in Learning Classifier Systems
at the University of Nottingham
Research Fellow
Project Title: Principled Application of Learning Classifier Systems
to Large-Scale Challenging Datasets (LCSxLCD)
University of Nottingham - School of Computer Science
Deadline for application: March 31st, 2010
Salary: 27,319 per annum
Project duration: 15 months
Applications are invited for the above EPSRC funded post to work on the
project "Principled Application of Learning Classifier Systems to Large-Scale
Challenging Datasets (LCSxLCD)".
Learning Classifier Systems (LCS) are robust machine learning techniques very
suitable for data mining and knowledge discovery. In recent years, there has
been important research effort in advanced representations, search mechanisms,
theoretical analysis, etc. The goal of this project is to study the general
applicability of LCS to large-scale challenging data mining tasks.
The project involves
1) the development of theoretical models for the performance of LCS when
applied to large volumes of data that can inform us of when and why LCS
methods are successful and also when do LCS fail and
2) proposal of new LCS methods with improved performacen and robustness based
on the insight gained from these models .
The person appointed will be based in the Automated Scheduling, Optimisation &
Planning (ASAP) Group, which is one of four main research groups within the
School of Computer Science at Nottingham. The School was ranked 8th in UK in
the 2008 RAE. ASAP has been carrying out innovative research into the
development and investigation of decision support, search methodologies and
machine learning for a wide and diverse range of real world problem
environments for the last 10 years. The group comprises 12 members of academic
staff, 16 researchers, 51 PhD students and three administrators. The project
also includes budget for a two-month visit for the candidate to the University
of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA.
Candidates should have a PhD in computer science and experience in
evolutionary algorithms, learning classifier systems and/or machine learning.
Past experience in the development of theoretical models will be an advantage
together with evidence of top quality research in the form of published papers
and/or software. The successful candidate will be able to access all the
resources of the rich career development programme of the University of
Nottingham.
Salary will be 27,319 per annum. This post is available from June 2010 and will
be offered on a fixed-term contract for period of 15 months.
Informal enquiries may be addressed to Dr J Bacardit, tel: 0115 846 7044,
