hela Sverige Örebro University and the School of Science and Technology are looking for a doctoral student for the doctoral program in Computer Science, with specialization in Artificial Intelligence, concluding with a doctoral degree.
Expected start date: September 2024
Project description
The project is in the area of Artificial Intelligence (AI), and it relates in particular to automated reasoning, automated planning and knowledge representation. The project is funded by the prestigious Vetenskapsrådet (Swedish Research Council), and it will investigate the ground-breaking question on how AI systems can proactively acquire new knowledge and new abilities. The student will develop theories and methods to allow the AI system to decide which knowledge or abilities it should learn, when, and how. As part of this problem, the AI system must be able to perform anticipatory reasoning, and to reason about its own knowledge and abilities as well as others' knowledge and abilities. Note that this project does not aim at studying specific mechanisms for machine learning, but it focuses on the higher level question of how an AI system can autonomously decide to initiate a learning process.
The successful candidate should show strong and independent problem solving abilities as well as critical analytical abilities. Fluent spoken and written English is essential, while knowledge of Swedish is not necessary. Demonstrated knowledge in Artificial Intelligence is required, specifically in any of the following fields: knowledge representation, planning and decision-making, multi-agent systems. Experience with robotic systems, with human-machine interaction, with machine learning or with neuro-symbolic approaches, as well as experience in working within multi-disciplinary projects, are preferential criteria. Good programming skills are a plus.
