Research project with the possibility for master projects

Contact: Maarten van Someren 

This page contains a list of possibilities for master projects. Some projects will take place at UvA, some at companies. This list includes projects in which I am involved. In some cases I shall be the supervisor of the project but in other cases the supervisor will be a researcher at our group. A project at a company has a local supervisor and a reacher from the Master AI as co-supervisor. All projects involve some form of Machine Learning. There are also possibilities to do a project in Machine Learning at other groups, inside the Informatics Institute, inside UvA and also at other universities or TNO.

UvA:

Poseidon (www.esi.nl/short/poseidon/): using Machine Learning to model events along the coast; integrating sensory data, structured information and language

Collaborative agents supporting the management of dynamic network (staff.science.uva.nl/~wicomul/): developing an agent based system that correlates information from various network monitoring systems. The agents collaborate and share information across multiple domains.

With companies:

We have a number of contacts with companies where students can do projects. Some examples of such companies are

· Sentient (www.sentient.nl/) Data Mining

· Parabots (www.parabots.nl/) Text Mining

· Telefonica Investigacion y Desarollo, Data Mining and User Modeling Research Group

· Textkernel (www.textkernel.com) Machine Learning for Text Mining and Information Extraction

·  Philips Research Europe, User Experiences (Machine Learning for recommender systems and user modelling)

· D-CIS Lab (www.decis.nl): analysis of sensory data and phone calls on air pollution

· KPMG Forensic technology: methods that discover patterns and find unusual records that may point to fraud
