Cranfield University is now advertising for TWO FULLY FUNDED MASTERS BY RESEARCH STUDENTSHIPS in 'Computational Intelligence for Next Generation Web Design'. Cranfield University is a leading centre in the application of Soft Computing for engineering decisions. Soft Computing is a paradigm that offers a consortium of techniques for handling real-life complexities such as imprecision and uncertainty. Leveraging on Cranfield's expertise in these areas, this project will expand the boundary of Soft Computing research to the domain of Web Design.
The focus of the two inter-linked Masters by Research projects will be as follows:
Project I (Intelligent Keyword Discovery): This project will analyse known keywords and web server log files to find combinations of keywords to bring in more customers. Computational intelligence techniques such as Genetic Programming will be applied to yield fast results. This project will explore natural language research (synonyms and conceptual meanings) to increase the range of keywords represented faster than web server log trawls.
Project II (Automated Evolution of Text Adverts): The aim of this project is to apply classical engineering design support tools to develop more successful adverts. This will be achieved by 'intelligently' combining a catalogue of product related phrases and applying the learnings. This project will explore a number of research avenues, such as graphical advert evolution and the learnings required to differentiate adverts for different networks and sites.
These studentships are available to UK and EU students only. Applicants should have a First or Upper Second Class Honours degree (or its equivalent) in Computer Science / IT or Engineering disciplines. Interested Graduate students with relevant background are invited to submit their detailed CV and application form.
Stipend between £9,000 to £15,000 per year will be provided to the successful candidate. In addition, tuition fees will be paid by the project.
