HPD Projects

Still looking for a project for your Honours Programme Bachelor or Honours Programme Master?

Are you interested in doing a Machine Learning-oriented project with one of the ELLIS Delft Faculty Members?

The ELLIS Delft Unit focuses on using machine learning as a key enabling technology to deal with complex tasks, and making intelligent systems adapt to their environment including handling human interaction. Some of the ELLIS Delft Unit staff members have proposed directions in which they would be interested in supervising HPD research projects.

Why choose a project with an ELLIS faculty member?

  • Collaboration with a community of ELLIS HPD students (e.g. meetings, workshops, collaborative projects)
  • Yearly ELLIS HPD event
  • ELLIS members can facilitate connections with other units

Want to apply for a project? Send an e-mail directly to an ELLIS staff member (see sample projects below).
