  • Center for Responsible AI - C628696807-00454142-BI|2024/531

    Type of position: Research Grant (BI)
    Duration: 12 months
    Deadline to apply: 2024-05-23
    Description

    Investigate the emergence of collective intelligence in hybrid societies of agents and humans through the presence of attention and awareness mechanisms in agents. The research involves the creation of a model for attention in embodied agents that relies on gaze behaviours to achieve some form of common shared understanding between humans and artificial agents. To do that we will explore and develop computational mechanisms to both perceive human gaze behaviours and to autonomously express attention on artificial embodied agents, such as robots. The aim is to run a set of user studies to explore cooperation, trust and cohesion in hybrid groups of agents and humans. Different types of domains and agents’ embodiments will be explored.

    Type of position: Research Grant (BI)
    Duration: 6 months
    Deadline to apply: 2024-05-17
    Description

    Asthma is a major respiratory disorder in equines that demands prompt and precise identification for successful treatment. The candidate will explore the feasibility of employing non-invasive techniques to evaluate asthma in horses. A key objective involves gathering a collection of equine videos for analysis. The project will also concentrate on verbal interactions between veterinarians and horse owners, along with how results are communicated to veterinarians, taking into account the machine learning approaches used for diagnosis.
