Applications are invited for the position of Postdoctoral Research Fellow to work on the Knowledge Discovery Project in the Machine Learning Group in Trinity College Dublin. (www.cs.tcd.ie/research_groups/mlg/kdp/)

The appointment will be from 1st October 2004 and will be for two years.

The research will be on one-sided classifiers so the successful candidate should have a PhD in Machine Learning or a closely related area.

'One-sided Cassifiers' is a topic that has been researched in a variety of different guises in recent years. It is the problem of learning in a situation where no (or very few) counterexamples are available. It arises in a variety of different situations, for instance in text classification, fraud detection, medical diagnosis and environmental monitoring. It has been researched under such titles as, semi-supervised learning, one-class classifiers, transductive inference, the class imbalance problem or simply classification in the absence of counterexamples.
