Provide Description
Your Duties

We’re in search of a extremely motivated PhD pupil within the space Probabilistic Machine Studying and Neuro-Symbolic AI, who will contribute to an EIC funded mission on the design of DNA-based knowledge storage programs.

Humankind is producing and storing knowledge at an unprecedented price, with all identified knowledge worldwide anticipated to develop to 250 Zettabytes by 2025. Nonetheless, all present archival storage media face elementary limitations that threaten our potential to even retailer all this knowledge. DNA has been posited as a novel storage media due to its advantages, similar to sturdiness and density, amongst others. The imaginative and prescient on this mission is to make use of DNA nanostructures to retailer knowledge, in the same method to a compact disc. Decoding the information might be based mostly on microscopy, laptop imaginative and prescient, machine studying and symbolic approaches, particularly error correcting codes. 

The profitable candidate might be based mostly on the Institute of Theoretical Pc Science (IGI, TU Graz) and work primarily on the machine studying and symbolic components of this pipeline. They are going to collaborate with the Institute of Pc Graphics and Imaginative and prescient (ICG, TU Graz) and different European companions within the consortium.
