Post-doc/Research Associate in Machine Learning: We are seeking applicants with expertise and track record in AI / Machine Learning for a 1 to 2 year position starting around summer 2017 (6-month short term stay is also possible) . We are a leading group in various aspects of signal processing for optical communcations and some of our world-record breaking transmission experiments are regularly covered by media worldwide. Over the past few years, we have applied some machine learning techniques in optical communications and a list of related papers are shown below. We also work on core and contemparory machine learning topics such as discrete latent representations and are exploring topics in the intersection of computation and communications among others. We hereby seek capable researchers who can  independently lead/continue his or her own research agenda in machine learning related area and/or apply machine learning techniques in other areas of engineering such as optics/communications.
