The ELLIS PhD program, öffnet eine externe URL in einem neuen Fenster is a key element of the ELLIS initiative and its goal is to foster and educate the best talent in machine learning and related research areas by pairing outstanding students with leading academic and industrial researchers in Europe and offering a variety of networking and training activities, including summer schools and workshops. Every PhD student is co-supervised by one ELLIS fellow/scholar, öffnet eine externe URL in einem neuen Fenster/unit faculty and one ELLIS fellow/scholar, öffnet eine externe URL in einem neuen Fenster/member, öffnet eine externe URL in einem neuen Fenster based in different European countries, and conducts an exchange (min. 6 months) with the international advisor during their degree. One of the advisors may also come from industry, in which case the student will instead closely collaborate with the industry partner, and spend min. 6 months conducting research at the industrial lab.

Research areas include (but are not limited to) the following machine learning-driven research fields:

• Machine Learning Algorithms
• Machine Learning Theory
• Optimization
• Deep Learning
• Interactive and Online Learning
• Reinforcement Learning and Control
• Computer Vision
• Computer Graphics
• Robotics
