Description

The Department of Computer Science at Smith College invites applications for two, two-year, benefits-eligible positions at the rank of Visiting Assistant Professor of Computer Science, to begin July 1, 2020.  The successful candidates will be prepared to teach five courses per year and must provide evidence of excellence in teaching and in research. The positions are open-field. The term of appointment for each position is for two years, ending June 2022. A Ph.D. in computer science or a closely related field is expected by the time of appointment. Candidates with the ability to work with diverse student populations are especially encouraged to apply.


Located in Northampton, MA, Smith College is the largest women’s college in the country and is dedicated to excellence in teaching and research across the liberal arts.  The faculty of outstanding scholars interact with students in small classes, as advisors, and through student-faculty research projects. Smith College offers opportunities to foster faculty success at every career stage, such as those listed here: https://www.smith.edu/about-smith/provost/faculty-development.  The College is a member of the Five College Consortium with Amherst, Hampshire and Mt. Holyoke Colleges, and the University of Massachusetts Amherst.  Students cross-enroll and faculty cross-teach across the Five Colleges. Details about the Department of Computer Science may be found at http://cs.smith.edu/ .


Diversity and a culture of equity and inclusion among students, staff, faculty, and administration are crucial to the mission and values of Smith College. We are an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity employer and do not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, age, color, religion, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression or veteran status in the recruitment and employment of faculty and staff, and the operation of any of its programs and activities, as specified by all applicable laws and regulations. Women, historically underrepresented minorities, veterans, and individuals with disabilities are encouraged to apply.

Factor analysis, in which both latent (unobserved) and manifest (observed) variables are continuous, is perhaps the best known.

In latent profile analysis the latent variable (e.g. consumer segments) is categorical and the manifest variables (e.g. responses to rating scales) are continuous.

Latent trait models (e.g. item response theory) are characterized by continuous latent variables and categorical manifest variables (e.g. correct or incorrect answers to test items).

In latent class analysis both latent and observed variables are categorical.

There are also hybrid models which include both continuous and categorical latent and manifest variables.

In some models there is a distinction between dependent and independent variables. Censored, truncated and count variables can also be accommodated.

Any of these models can be multilevel (hierarchical) or longitudinal and can incorporate exogenous variables (covariates).

This popular book is focused on latent class analysis and its longitudinal extension, latent transition analysis. It is well written and covers theoretical and technical issues as well as application.

When ML models are deployed, data distributions evolving over time leads to a drop in performance. Our latest paper (theory and experiments) suggests we can use self-training on unlabeled data to maintain high performance
