The Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence (UAI) group is a quickly growing group embedded in the Data and AI (DAI) cluster at the Eindhoven University of Technology (https://dai.win.tue.nl). In the DAI cluster, we aim at developing foundations of AI for the present and the future. This includes the design of new AI methods, development of AI algorithms and tools with a view at expanding the reach of AI and its generalization abilities. In particular, we study foundational issues of robustness, safety, trust, reliability, tractability, scalability, interpretability and explainability of AI. The UAI group is looking for a highly motivated and skilled PhD candidate to work in the area of Reinforcement Learning. The concrete research direction will be determined together with the successful candidate. The research topics include, but are not restricted to:
- Reinforcement Learning: Theory and Application
- Offline/Off-policy Reinforcement Learning
- (Contextual) Multi-Armed Bandits
- Fairness-aware Learning via Reinforcement Learning
- Decision Making under Uncertainty
- Robustness in Reinforcement Learning
- Causality and Counterfactual Learning
- Generative Models for Model-based Reinforcement Learning
