Four (4) PhD positions in the area of Computer Vision and Machine Learning for the analysis of actions,
activity and behavior with applications in the field of Augmented Reality, Affective Computing and/or
Mental Health are available in the group of Multimedia and Vision in the School of Electronic Engineering
and Computer Science in Queen Mary University of London.

At a methodological level, the work will focus on the development of novel Machine Learning methods for
learning from multimodal data, on learning with efficient architectures and on learning from few or no annotations.

Team
The student will be based in the Multimedia and Vision group in the school of EECS. Queen Mary University of London
is a research intensive university and a member of the Russel group. The school of EECS is 11th in the UK for quality
of computer science research (REF 2014) and 6th in the UK for quality of electronic engineering research (REF 2014).
The School is a dynamic community of approximately 350 PhD students and 80 research assistants.The school has
one of the largest teams in Computer Vision in the UK and a very strong team in Computational Linguistics.
