Call for Participation: CLAIRE Rising Researchers Network

[You are receiving this message as the designated contact person or backup contact person for your group or organisation, which is a member of the CLAIRE research network.]

Dear Paulo Novais,

As you may have seen from our December 2021 newsletter, CLAIRE has launched the Rising Researchers Network, for Ph.D. candidates and postdoctoral researchers, as well as talented master students involved in AI research across all of Europe.

We would greatly appreciate it if you could pass along the following Call for Partificipation to any interested Ph.D. candidates, postdoctoral researchers and selected master students:

CLAIRE Rising Researchers Network
 
CLAIRE is very excited to announce the launch of CLAIRE’s Rising Researchers Network (in short R2 Network) – a network within CLAIRE bringing together Ph.D. candidates and postdoctoral researchers and selected Master students involved in AI research across all of Europe. 

The network will represent the next generation of AI researchers and collaborate closely with the CLAIRE Offices and CLAIRE’s supporting institutions and organisations to address their interests and help them achieve their goals. Most importantly, members of the R2Network will support each other in their early-career research and decisions, and collaborate and share experiences with other students with similar interests. 

The Rising Researchers Network is meant to connect students involved in AI research all across Europe. If you become a member, we would love to get to know you and learn how to make your AI research life in Europe sweeter as direction of the activities of the network will be guided by the interests of its members. The CLAIRE board is here to listen to our ideas and to offer us all the possible resources to make them come true. Here is a list of goals we want to achieve in the future; and we are happy to extend it with your ideas!  

  • Create a centralised database of current research visit/internship/postdoc positions opportunities at AI institutions and industry all across Europe 
  • Organise events (hackathons, meetups,…)  
  • Arrange mentorship from senior researchers 
  • Facilitate research collaboration and mobility within Europe 
  • Connect with top researchers from the European AI community 
And the most important aspect of the network: We support each other in our early-career research and decisions, and collaborate and share experiences with other students with similar interests. This is what networking is about after all. 

How to join? 
If you’re curious about this project, would like to join or learn more, simply drop us a short email at r2network@claire-ai.org. Then, and if you want to join, we will ask you to fill in a short application form and to become a CLAIRE supporter. Finally, we will give you access to an online communication platform (Mattermost) where all the discussion will happen and where you can learn more about us. We would love to see you there and learn more about you! 

Marie, Barbora, and Oliver 
— Kernel Team of the R2Network —

[rede.APPIA] Open position on Human-Centric AI and Interactive AI at INESC-ID

Rui Filipe Fernandes Prada
Happy New Year,

Please distribute to potential candidates.

Apologies for multiple postings.

Thank you,
Rui.

Job opening
Applications until January 14
Topics of research
Human-centric AI, Human-Agent Interaction, Automated Playtesting
 
Summary of the work
The main objective is to develop novel research on human-centric AI. The core goal is to develop models for AI systems that take into consideration social-cognitive and emotional abilities. These models will be used for human-agent interaction scenarios, such as collaborative games.
Additionally, we want to explore the usage of such AI models in autonomous agents to predict people’s behaviour when interacting with a system. This line of work aims at developing novel automation tools based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) to test interactive systems, such as games and XR systems, in particular, to assess User Experience (UX). The goal is to apply advanced AI techniques to support the automation of tests of complex interactive systems. The approach is to develop autonomous agents that interact proactively with the system under test through a framework developed in the iv4XR project (https://iv4xr-project.eu/). Such agents should apply models of users to explore different interactions strategies to achieve good coverage of testing, either in terms of the possible interaction opportunities afforded by the system or in terms of the potential different user profiles.
The grantee will join a team currently working on machine learning and cognitive models of emotion and cognitive load to assess the UX of the system under test. The work involves support on the coordination of the team effort, the collaboration with the iv4XR international consortium, and the definition of an overall integrated toolkit of components to test UX.
The expected contributions on human-centric AI, in particular, for automated UX testing have a great potential of impact in the communities of AI, Human-Computer Interaction, and Software Testing.
The activity will be supervised by Rui Prada, Associate Professor at Instituto Superior Técnico, Universidade de Lisboa and researcher at INESC-ID Lisboa. The grantee will be integrated at INESC-ID (Taguspark) in the GAIPS research group (http://gaips.inesc-id.pt/) lead by Prof. Ana Paiva.
Base Remuneration
Monthly remuneration corresponds to level 33 of the single remuneration table (TRU), which corresponds to a monthly remuneration of 2 134,73 Euros.
