Dear all, A PhD position for a philosopher is open at ICFO, Warsaw University of Technology, within the EU funded project “Interactive Natural Language Technology for Explainable Artificial Intelligence, NL4XAI” (Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Networks ITN, Horizon 2020). The work will focus on “Customized interactive argumentation schemes for XAI”, and will be supervised by Kasia Budzynska and co-supervised by Jose M. Alonso from Universidade de Santiago de Compostela (Spain), and will cooperate with the consortium of 18 partners and beneficiaries from 6 different European countries (France, Malta, Poland, Spain, The Netherlands and the United Kingdom). The project budgets for students to participate in several training workshops organised by partners and in secondments at partner institutions (our student will spend two three-month visits in Santiago de Compostela in 2021, and one three-month visit in Barcelona area in 2022 with the industry partner Accenture Technology).
While the project as a whole strongly focuses on the computational aspects of AI and NLP, the Warsaw-based part of the project is primarily dedicated to the theoretical foundations for implementations of XAI. This is why we are looking for a candidate who has excellent analytical skills (such as an experience in analytic philosophy or logic) and is interested in argumentation and natural communication. Programming skills are not the requirement as the actual implementation will be done either by the student herself or by collaborators within the NL4XAI project consortium. The student will be based in Warsaw. This is three year project which will start at a convenient date between April 2020 and September 2020 with monthly salary of 2,063 EUR plus additional funding if the researcher has family. The student will be joining the Computational Ethos Lab (CELab) Kasia Budzynska and Marcin Koszowy will be establishing at the ICFO. The group will combine argumentation theory and argument technology with studies on strategies of appealing to speaker’s character in natural communication.
