RESEARCH STUDENTSHIP IN KNOWLEDGE DISCOVERY

Applications are invited for a research studentship in Knowledge 
Discovery in the School of Computing and Mathematics. This is an 
internally-funded post available for three years from September 
2002. Nationality restrictions do not apply to this post.

The successful candidate will receive an annual maintenance grant 
equivalent to the EPSRC 'home student' rate, in addition to the 
payment of the University's tuition fees.

The project will be supervised by Max Bramer, Professor of 
Information Technology (http://www.btinternet.com/~max.bramer). 
Projects may potentially be in any area of Knowledge Discovery, 
but some topics of particular interest are:

1. Generating Predictive Models for Rare Classes
2. Constructive Induction
3. Automatic Discretisation of Continuous Attributes
4. Hybrid Classifiers
5. Combining symbolic and sub-symbolic techniques for Data 
Mining
6. Text/Web Mining

Applicants should normally have a first or upper second class 
honours degree or the equivalent in Computer Science or other 
relevant subject. They should send a brief CV plus an outline of 
their proposed project by email to [email protected] to arrive 
by Monday May 20th at the latest. Please give any dates when 
you would not be available for interview in Portsmouth up to mid-
June.
