EPSRC CASE Studentship

Bayesian networks for knowledge discovery
and collaborative filtering

A PhD studentship is available for three years to develop and evaluate graphical models for collaborative filtering.  Probabilistic recommender systems capable of hidden variables underpinning preference, choice and purchase behaviour will be developed within the Bayesian belief networks framework. The project will involve close interaction with industrial sponsors and will be supervised by Professor Paulo Lisboa at the school of Computing and Mathematical Sciences - Liverpool John Moores University and Dr. Wael El-Deredy at School of Psychological Sciences , University of Manchester .

The successful candidate will receive an enhanced EPSRC stipend starting at ?14,000 in year 1 and rising to ?16,500 in year 3.

  Eligible candidates* wishing to apply should send by email a supporting statement together with a CV containing names and addresses of two referees by the closing date of Friday, 10th March 2006 .

* Candidates must satisfy the EPSRC eligibility requirements:  Recent changes to the criteria have opened full CASE studentship funding to EU nationals with residence in the UK for at least 3 years, which now include periods of stay for the purpose of higher education.
