PhD Student / Research Assistant (f/m/d) in "Information Measures for Density Approximation"
Organisationseinheit
Institut für Anthropomatik und Robotik (IAR)
Ihre Aufgaben
In this PhD project, you will join an interdisciplinary team working on machine learning under uncertainties. Your goal is to find novel solutions for approximating probability density functions (pdf) based on information measures such as entropy and Fisher information. A special focus is on deterministic sampling, i.e., approximating a continuous pdf by a discrete one. Depending on your preferences, a suitable balance between theoretical development and practical applications will be found.
The final goal of your scientific activities at KIT is your doctorate.
