I'm happy to announce this Pre-Call for Applications for the Cluster of
Excellence Bilateral Artificial Intelligence, Austria.
For the recently established Cluster of Excellence CoE Bilateral Artificial
Intelligence (BILAI), funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF), we are looking
for more than 50 PhD students and 10 Post-Doc researchers (m/f/d) to join our
team at one of the six leading research institutions across Austria (see below).
In BILAI, major Austrian players in Artificial Intelligence (AI) are teaming up
to work towards Broad AI. As opposed to Narrow AI, which is characterized by
task-specific skills, Broad AI seeks to address a wide array of problems,
rather than being limited to a single task or domain. To develop its
foundations, BILAI employs a Bilateral AI approach, effectively combining
sub-symbolic AI (neural networks and machine learning) with symbolic AI (logic,
knowledge representation, and reasoning) in various ways.
Harnessing the full potential of both symbolic and sub-symbolic approaches can
open new avenues for AI, enhancing its ability to solve novel problems, adapt
to diverse environments, improve reasoning skills, and increase efficiency in
computation and data use. These key features enable a broad range of
applications for Broad AI, from drug development and medicine to planning and
scheduling, autonomous traffic management, and recommendation systems.
Prioritizing fairness, transparency, and explainability, the development of
Broad AI is crucial for addressing ethical concerns and ensuring a positive
impact on society.
The research team is committed to cross-disciplinary work in order to provide
theory and models for future AI and deployment to applications.
