PhD student position on natural language technology, Warsaw (Poland)

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). The student will be based in Warsaw. 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).

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.
