Machine Learning (ML) has taken the world by storm and has become a fundamental pillar of engineering. As a result, the last decade has witnessed an explosive growth in the use of deep neural networks (DNNs) in pursuit of exploiting the advantages of ML in virtually every aspect of our lives: computer vision, natural language processing, medicine or economics are just a few examples. However, NOT all DNNs fit to all problems: convolutional NNs are good for computer vision, recurrent NNs are good for temporal analysis, and so on. In this context, the main focus of N3Cat and BNN-UPC is to explore the possibilities of the new and less explored variant called Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), whose aim is to learn and model graph-structured data. This has huge implications in fields such as quantum chemistry, computer networks, or social networks among others. OBJECTIVES =========== N3Cat and BNN-UPC are looking for students wanting to work in the area of Graph Neural Networks studying their uses, processing architectures, and algorithms. To this end, the candidate will work on ONE of the following areas: - Investigating the state of the art on this area, surveying the different works done in terms of applications, processing frameworks, algorithms, benchmarks, datasets. This can be taken from a hardware or software perspective. - Helping to build a testbed formed by a cluster of GPUs that will be running pyTorch or Tensorflow. We will instrument the testbed to measure the computation workload and communication flows between GPUs. - Analyzing the communication workload of running a GNN either in the testbed or by means of architectural simulations. - Developing means of accelerating GNN processing in software (e.g., improving scheduling of the message passing) or hardware (e.g. designing a domain-specific architecture).
Companies and scientists working in areas such as finance or genomics are generating enormously large datasets (in the order of petabytes) commonly referred as Big Data. How to efficiently and effectively process such large amounts of data is an open research problem. Since communication is involved in Big Data processing at many levels, at the NaNoNetworking Center in Catalunya (N3Cat) we are currently investigating the potential role of wireless communications in the Big Data scenario. The main focus of the project is to evaluate the impact of applying wireless communications and networking methods to processors and data centers oriented to the management of Big Data. OBJECTIVES =========== N3Cat is looking for students wanting to work in the area of wireless communications for Big Data. To this end, the candidate will work on one of the following areas: - Traffic analysis of Big Data frameworks and applications, as well as in smaller manycore systems. - Channel characterization in Big Data environments: indoor, within the racks of a data center, within the package of CPU, within a chip. - Design of wireless communication protocols for computing systems from the processor level to the data center level.
This project will be done in collaboration with Telefonica Research. Telefonica Research is a diverse, multidisciplinary and international group of scientists who dare to push the frontiers of knowledge and prepare for the upcoming challenges on communications and the Internet.

The syntactic structure of a sentence can be represented as a tree where vertices are words and arcs indicate syntactic dependencies between words. Syntactic dependency parsing is the branch of computational linguistic concerned with the extraction of syntactic dependency structures from raw text. This research proposal is focused on unsupervised syntactic dependency parsing, i.e. methods to extract syntactic dependency structures from unlabelled data. This projects consists of implementing simple unsupervised parsers and evaluating them on human languages and other species
UPC and Nestlé are offering a new position to develop the TFM in the field of Machine Learning and Cybersecurity. This TFM will be fully funded (internship) and carried out in collaboration with the Global Security Operations Center of Nestlé and UPC.

The GESSI research group has a ML system (with a computer vision component) to detect the current state of a chess game. This TFM has the following tasks: - Create/Improve a deep learning model for chess piece classification to use as the brute force approach. - Create an algorithm for chess board recognition using the deep learning model as the central component. - Compare the quality of the two approaches regarding correctness and latency.
