阿姆斯特丹自由大学招收人工智能博士
About the Project
Now that responsive AI systems such as ChatGPT are becoming the norm, the next challenge is to create conversational AI systems that maintain long-term shared memories with people and that can leverage these in collaborative tasks. If you are interested in building conversational robots with such memories that have a deeper and more personal understanding, then you should apply for this position at the Hybrid Intelligence Centre.
Location: AMSTERDAM
FTE: 0.8 - 1
Job description
Human memories do not just capture a stream of data but heavily conceptualise experiences. What is important to memorise is partially determined by personal interest and by common cultural-cognitive perceptions. Our memories are efficient but also have limitations and can fail. Machines on the other hand can memorise every detail almost without limitation but lack the human capacity to focus on relevance. To collaborate, humans and machines need to align their different memories in a Theory of Mind (ToM) model, to find out what is shared and what is different. Successful alignment of memories should lead to better collaboration of humans and robots in shared tasks.
We are seeking a highly motivated and talented PhD researcher to work on an exciting project focused on hybrid memory modelling based on both visual observations by the robot and conversations between robots and people. In this project, you build a conversational robot that aligns their memories through natural language conversation to 1) detect conflicts, gaps, perspectives and uncertainties and 2) repair these. The successful candidate will be part of the Hybrid Intelligence Center and the Computational Linguistics and Text Mining Lab. You also work in close collaboration with researchers at the University of Delft.
Your duties
intelligence with a strong interest in human-computer interaction. Experience in deep learning, knowledge graphs and natural language processing are a plus.
Requirements
• A Master's degree in Computational Linguistics or Artificial Intelligence with Natural Language Processing experience
• Experience of natural language processing and deep learning
• Good programming skills in Python
• Experience with human-computer interaction and knowledge graphs are a plus
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English
What are we offering?
A challenging position in a socially involved organization. The salary will be in accordance with university regulations for academic personnel and amounts €2,402 (PhD) per month during the first year and increases to €2,889 (PhD) per month during the fourth year, based on a full-time employment. The job profile: is based on the university job ranking system and is vacant for at least 0.8 FTE.
The appointment will initially be for 1 year. After a satisfactory evaluation of the initial appointment, the contract will be extended for a duration of 4 years (or 5 years in case of a 0.8 fte contract). Additionally, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam offers excellent fringe benefits and various schemes and regulations to promote a good work/life balance, such as:
• 8% holiday allowance and 8.3% end-of-year bonus
• contribution to commuting expenses
• optional model for designing a personalized benefits package
• a wide range of sports facilities which staff may use at a modest charge
Your application should contain at least a CV and a motivation letter describing why you apply to the PhD position.
