title: PhD positions in the University of Geneva, Switzerland
http://viper.unige.ch/doku.php/jobs
The Viper group of the Department of Computer Science of the University of Geneva is seeking
Two PhD Researchers on Distributed Information Indexing and Retrieval
The Viper group on Multimedia Information Management (
http://viper.unige.ch) is part of the Computer Vision and Multimedia Laboratory. The Viper group initially specializes on visual information management and has now extended its activities on multimedia information management. This activity includes several complementary aspects along the chain of assisted content-based information management. We address the problem of content-based search and retrieval of multimedia data in relation with modern machine learning and data mining techniques. This is also related to our research on content characterization where we mixed automated characterization techniques and knowledge management and discovery techniques.
.
The distributed environment required by this project will be provided by the Computer Science department of the University of Geneva (shared memory and cluster systems, seehttp://spc.unige.ch/computing_resources). We also have access to High Performance Computing resources through the Center for Advanced Modelling Science (CADMOS), which associates the Universities of Geneva and Lausanne with the Ecole Polytechnique Fédéral de Lausanne (EPFL) to develop High-Performance and High Productivity Computing.
