1- PhD study at the Singapore University of Technology and Design<br>
(source: J. Renault)<br>
<br>
<br>
There exist excellent opportunities for bright and motivated
students<br>
who want to pursue PhD study at the newly established Singapore<br>
University of Technology and Design (SUTD) within the Engineering<br>
Systems and Design (ESD) Pillar.<br>
<br>
SUTD has been established in collaboration with MIT with a mission
to<br>
advance knowledge and nurture technically grounded leaders and<br>
innovators to serve societal needs. Professor Thomas Magnanti,
former<br>
Dean of Engineering at MIT (and former President of INFORMS), is the<br>
Founding President of SUTD.<br>
<br>
The faculty in ESD is growing rapidly with a steady-state target of<br>
over 70 faculty members, making it one of the largest such<br>
multidisciplinary programs in the world, blending the fields of<br>
operations research, management science, applied probability and<br>
statistics, applied mathematics, and decision sciences.<br>
<br>
Based in one of the world’s biggest financial and technological
hubs,<br>
with an ever-growing academic community, and a culturally diverse
and<br>
vibrant population, the ESD PhD program at SUTD aims to provide<br>
students with a strong technical foundation that emphasizes<br>
inter-disciplinary and collaborative research. The program is<br>
mentoring-intensive with a unique flexible advising structure that<br>
allows students to work with multiple faculty members and
vice-versa.<br>
Qualified PhD applicants are offered highly attractive financial<br>
packages covering tuition, a monthly stipend and support for<br>
conference and workshop travel.<br>
<br>
Additional information about SUTD and the ESD Pillar may be found at<br>

<br>
<br>
Etablissement: LJK<br>
Descriptif: Il existe une forte demande d’outils mathématiques et
algorithmiques nouveaux<br>
de l’optimisation en grande dimension appliquée dans les domaines de
l’apprentissage<br>
statistique et du traitement de données nonhomogènes. Les jeux de
données à traiter, mais<br>
aussi les modèles qui les régissent contiennent par ailleurs des
incertitudes dont il s’agit<br>
d’estimer et de maitriser l’impact.<br>
L’optimisation dans le contexte de données massives, l’analyse
d’incertitudes et l’optimisation<br>
robuste pour minimiser leur influence, sont des problématiques qui
apparaissent dans plusieurs<br>
domaines applicatifs dans lesquel le LJK est beaucoup investi et a
obtenu une reconnaissance<br>
internationale : traitement et indexation d’images, climatologie et
sciences de l’environnement,<br>
développement durable, génomique, analyse de données multi-media, de
données bancaires<br>
et financières.<br>
Le LJK souhaite recruter un maître de conférence, qui cherche à
développer des aspects<br>
méthodologiques ou applicatifs de ces thématiques, transverses à
plusieurs équipes et<br>
départements du laboratoire. La priorité sera donnée aux candidats
possédant un excellent<br>
dossier de recherche, souhaitant mener leur recherche dans un
environnement multidisciplinaire,<br>
notamment au travers des activités du labex Persyval-lab ou de la
maison de la modélisation<br>
Maimosine.<br>

15- International workshop on advances in Regularization,
Optimization, etc...<br>
(source: M. Théra)<br>
<br>
<br>
July 8-10, 2013, Leuven, Belgium<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://www.esat.kuleuven.be/sista/ROKS2013">http://www.esat.kuleuven.be/sista/ROKS2013</a><br>
<br>
Scope
One area of high impact both in theory and applications is kernel
methods<br>
and support vector machines. Optimization problems, learning and
representations<br>
of models are key ingredients in these methods. On the other hand
considerable<br>
progress has also been made on regularization of parametric models,
including<br>
methods for compressed sensing and sparsity, where convex
optimization plays<br>
a prominent role. The aim of ROKS-2013 is to provide a
multi-disciplinary forum<br>
where researchers of different communities can meet, to find new
synergies along<br>
these areas, both at the level of theory and applications. <br>
<br>
Call for abstracts : The ROKS-2013 program will feature invited
plenary talks, oral<br>
sessions and poster sessions. Interested participants are cordially
invited to submit<br>
an extended abstract (max. 2 pages) for their contribution. After
the workshop a<br>
number of selected contributions will be invited for an edited book.<br>
<br>
