Project description
The area of the two positions lies at the intersection of computer programming, distributed systems and machine learning. A major expected outcome of the doctoral research is to provide system support for continuous deep analytics: a radical new approach for data analysis that builds on recent advances in large-scale machine learning and data stream processing to produce interpretable and queryable models of the world. The doctoral students for these positions can choose which direction to pursue further, these include finding solutions to fundamental data management problems, architecting and designing abstractions in distributed processing systems that push forward the state of the art in data processing, ML systems and graph analytics. This Continuous Deep Analytics project is financed by a prestigious grant from the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF).
