PhD in data mining, knowledge discovery, web analytics, Eindhoven

Job opening: 4-year PhD in the field of data mining, knowledge discovery and web analytics in the STW (Dutch Technology Foundation) funded project "Context-Aware Predictive Analytics" (CAPA), within the expertise group Databases and Hypermedia (DH) of TU Eindhoven.

To meet the early a pplication deadline please apply before November 10 athttp://www.academictransfer.com/11685
Late submissions received after November 10th will be also considered until the position has been filled. Please send late submissions to capa.stw@gmail. com with subject "PhD position (V32.1450)".

=== Project description ===
Web analytics is aimed at understanding behavioral patterns of users of various web-based applications or services in e-commerce, mass-media, and entertainment industries. Accurately predicting the probability of desired actions on the web (product purchases, membership registrations, newsletter subscriptions, software downloads, accessing certain information resources, clicking ad banners) in specific circumstances would enable us to achieve better
personalization and adaptation to diverse customer needs and preferences. The behavior of users may vary depending on the context (e.g. user activity, location, time, access device, weather, holidays) and potentially within the context. Thus, predictions in web analytics are inherently context sensitive, and therefore, complementing the prediction models with context management mechanisms are expected to make them more specialized and predictive analytics decisions for web
applications more accurate. In general, the number of contextual factors that may potentially affect human behavior on the we is enormous and it is hardly possible to capture all of them with a model simpler than the universe itself. Therefore, one of the key challenges is to construct the mechanisms, which would identify, what the (current) context is and how to integrate it into prediction models. Another important aspect to be developed is the mechanism of monitoring the stream of user-related and contextual data over time to signal anomalies and changes in predictive model performance. Taking a broad range of practically relevant issues to address within this project, we aim for developing a complete solution integrating predictive analytics, context awareness and change detection mechanisms and allowing straightforward deployment of project results in web-based applications. The techniques we aim to develop will be tested retrospectively on historical data and deployed in real operational settings and validated externally.

The particularly planned prediction tasks include but are not limited to ad banner relevance scoring, content matching in online advertising, bidding for sponsored search, content based and
collaborative recommendations, and demand prediction for a given time period.

There are several partners in the project:
• Eindhoven University of Technology – research institute where the research is funded. The research team of the project includes experts in predictive analytics, concept drift and context-awareness (dr. Mykola Pechenizkiy, dr. Indre Zliobaite), adaptive hypermedia systems
(Prof. Paul De Bra), pattern mining (dr. Toon Calders), and web analytics (Ir. Guido Budziak).
• Adversitement B.V. - technology user that provides expertise in web analytics and infrastructure facilitating research, deployment and testing of research results in real live settings of different interested companies and organization, i.e. end users. Technical
assistance will be also provided to facilitate smooth validation of the developed techniques in the corresponding case studies.
• End users, including e.g. media companies (Kliknieuw.nl) , e-commerce (ReplaceDirect. nl) and entertainment (MovieMax.eu) . The expertise of the corresponding domain specialists who are also part of the project team can be called upon in relation to the deployment case studies.

Thus, the project provides a rather unique opportunity for continuous field testing supported by the involved partners.

Further information about the project including the essential extracts from the original accepted research proposal can be found athttp://www.win.tue.nl/~mpechen/projects/capa/

Course description:

The European Master in Agricultural, Food and Environmental Policy Analysis aims at providing a high quality education in designing and assessing public policies targeted to the agricultural and food sector as well as the rural environment. This European Master responds to the increasing need to better understand and anticipate the various and often complex socio-economic and environmental effects of these policies either in a functioning market economy as in the European Union or in economies in a development or transition phase.

The European Master offers a two-year academic curriculum with integrated and advanced theoretical, methodological and empirical courses in economics and quantitative methods as well as in agricultural, food and environmental sciences, agricultural and trade policy, environmental and natural resource policy, rural development policy and agribusiness management and market analysis.

To connect theory and methodology to practice, a problem solving project is developed and presented as a master thesis at the end of the two-year curriculum.

The European Master is jointly organised by five leading European educational and research institutions: the Corvinius University of Budapest (CUB) in Hungary, the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) in Sweden, the Rheinische-Friedric h-Wilhelms Universität Bonn (UBonn) in Germany, the Université catholique de Louvain (UCL) in Belgium and the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) in Spain. These five partner universities are recognised worldwide for the quality of their educational programme and scientific achievements in agricultural, environmental and economic sciences. The required 120 ECTS credit points are structured into three blocks: a minimum of two semesters of studies (55 ECTS) at a first partner university, as well as two semesters of studies (60 ECTS) at a second partner university, and two joint summer schools (5 ECTS) at partner universities. The language of instruction and examination is English for most of the courses in three partner universities while it is either French at UCL or Spanish at UPC for most of the courses. The Master degree is awarded as a double degree from the two home and host universities.

This European Master is accessible to candidates holding a bachelor degree or a recognized equivalent academic degree with a minimum of 180 ECTS or 3 years university study from an accredited institution, with sufficient undergraduate training in economics and agricultural or environmental sciences, with an excellent scholastic average, and with fluency in English but also French or Spanish if attending either UCL or UPC respectively.

Recipients of this European Master are qualified to understand the fundamentals of public policies oriented to the agricultural and food sector, rural areas and natural resources, develop and use quantitative methods to perform rigorous socio-economic and environmental assessment of these public policies, and provide sound and relevant policy recommendations for a more sustainable development of this sector and rural areas. They are qualified to take responsibilities in international, national and regional agencies, non-governmental organisations, consultancy firms, professional organisations and private companies.

Main area: Social sciences (including economics), cultural sciences
Second area: Agricultural and forestry sciences
Third area: Geography, earth and environmental studies
At the end of the course, graduated students will be awarded a double degree.
Tuition fees: 3000 €/per year for EU students
6000 €/per year for Third country students
