Position for Masters student

Update: This position has now been filled.

January 2021: I have a funded position available for a student to do a full-time Masters by Dissertation in Computer Science at the University of Cape Town, starting in March 2021 or soon afterwards. This is a 2-year research degree with no coursework requirement. Applicants should have a 4-year Bachelor's or Honours degree majoring in Computer Science. Prior experience in Machine Learning or Natural Language Processing is required - this could be through coursework, self-study, work experience or doing a research project in the area. The research project will be in the area of deep learning-based text generation for low-resource languages. The position will be funded through a scholarship.

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. Suitable candidates may be contacted for an interview. The university will only admit candidates who already have an agreed supervisor, so do not apply to UCT earlier.
