Dear Colleagues,

Our team is offering various PhD proposals, whose topics concern

• Uncertainties and imprecision in Spatial Interpolations for Urban Risk Mapping: the PhD student would integrate the HOUSES national project, that aims at handling severe uncertainties in geostatistics, notably to assess pollutants levels in water and grounds.

• Robustness in Explainable AI: the PhD student would join our junior professor chair and develop robust explanation methods for AI predictive models, as well as explanation methods for uncertain predictions.

• Robust event detection: the PhD student would join the SAFE AI chaire and develop statistical learning method that would detect events with pre-specified statistical guarantees, notably by working on how to obtain calibrated predictions for such tasks. The first retained case studies would concern obstacle detection for aid-decision in partially or fully automated vehicles, a domain on which our laboratory has significant expertise.

For each of these, we seek highly motivated students having a strong background in mathematics or computer science, with a focus on a topic connected to the PhD proposals (e.g., statistics, machine learning, …)

Potentially interested candidates can find more details on the page https://www.hds.utc.fr/~sdesterc/dokuwiki/.

Best regards

Sébastien
