Postdoctoral positions (logic and uncertainty), Cardiff (U.K.)

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research associate post in the School of Computer Science & Informatics at Cardiff University. This is a full-time, fixed-term post for 30 months, starting on 1 October or as soon as possible thereafter.
The main aim of this project is to study the links between Markov logic (a popular probabilistic logic for statistical relational learning) and possibilistic logic (a popular weighted logic for epistemic reasoning). This will involve the study and implementation of methods to approximate Markov logic theories into possibilistic logic, with the overall aim of learning interpretable commonsense rules from data on the web. You will work closely with Steven Schockaert (Cardiff University) and Jesse Davis (KU Leuven).

Closing date for applications: Tuesday 2 September 2014. For more details about the project and instructions on how to apply, please go to http://krb-sjobs.brassring.com/TGWEbHost/
