Neurosymbolic NLP: Three PhD positions, one postdoc
by Alexander Koller 03 Jun '24

03 Jun '24

The Research Training Group 2853 “Neuroexplicit Models of Language, Vision, and Action” is looking for 3 PhD students - September 2024 1 Postdoc - September 2024 or later Neuroexplicit models combine neural and human-interpretable (“explicit”) models in order to overcome the limitations that each model class has separately. They include neurosymbolic models, which combine neural and symbolic models, but also e.g. combinations of neural and physics-based models. In the RTG, we will improve the state of the art in natural language processing (“Language”), computer vision (“Vision”), and planning and reinforcement learning (“Action”). We will also develop novel machine learning techniques for neuroexplicit models (“Foundations”). Our overarching aim is to contribute to a better understanding of the cross-cutting design principles of effective neuroexplicit models through interdisciplinary collaboration. The RTG is scheduled to grow to a total of 24 PhD students and one postdoc by 2025; the first six PhD students started in late 2023, and three more have accepted our offer to join us in September 2024. Through the inclusion of ~20 further PhD students and postdocs funded from other sources, it will be one of the largest research centers on neuroexplicit or neurosymbolic models in the world. The RTG brings together researchers at Saarland University, the Max Planck Institute for Informatics, the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems, the CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security, and the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI). All of these institutions are colocated on the same campus in Saarbrücken, Germany. The positions are funded as follows: - PhD students will be funded for up to four years at the TV-L E13 100% pay scale. You should have or be about to complete an MSc degree in computer science or a related field and have demonstrated expertise in one of the research areas of the RTG, e.g. through an excellent Master’s thesis or relevant publications. - The postdoc will initially be funded for three years, with the possibility of extension, at the TV-L E13 100% pay scale. As the RTG postdoc, you will pursue your own research agenda in the field of neuroexplicit models and work with the PhD students to identify and pursue opportunities for collaborative research. You should have or be about to complete a PhD in computer science or a related field and have demonstrated your expertise in one or more of the RTG’s research areas through publications in top venues. The RTG is part of the Saarland Informatics Campus, one of the leading centers for research in computer science, artificial intelligence, and natural language processing in Europe. The Saarland Informatics Campus brings together 900 researchers and 2500 students from 81 countries. The CISPA Helmholtz Center, located on the same campus, is home to an additional 350 researchers and on track to grow to 800 by 2026.

Job Posting: PhD Position L2 Writing and AI
by Nathan Vandeweerd 31 May '24

31 May '24

Dear Corpus-list members, I would like to draw your attention to a PhD position at the Centre for Language Studies at Radboud University (applications deadline June 9th): PhD Candidate AI Authenticity Project: Exploring what makes L2 writing sound ‘human’ Are you curious about what makes text 'human'? And do you want to explore linguistic nuances that distinguish human-authored content from AI-generated text? Then join the Graduate School for the Humanities (GSH) as a PhD candidate and explore these questions. We offer you the opportunity to develop and carry out your own PhD project within the areas of expertise of your supervisors (Prof. Rob Schoonen, Dr. Nathan Vandeweerd and Dr. Iris Hendrickx). The project will be funded by a Starters Grant from the Faculty of Arts awarded to Dr. Nathan Vandeweerd. As generative AI has dramatically improved over the last few years, it has become more and more difficult for humans to distinguish between AI- and human written text, with studies suggesting that our ability to do so is often no better than chance. Nevertheless, humans do seem to have opinions about what makes a text ’authentic’. For example, texts with grammatical issues or lack of coherence are more likely to be labelled as AI-generated, even when this is not the case (see e.g. Jakesch et al., 2023). The problem for L2 writers is that many of these (presumed AI-identifying) characteristics also occur in second language writing, which means that non-native writers may be unfairly accused of using generative AI, both by other humans and AI-based GPT detection systems (Liang et al., 2023). In addition to being a potential threat to one’s perceived academic integrity (Currie, 2023), perceptions that a text is AI-generated can have quite serious consequences as such texts are seen as less credible (Waddell, 2018), less favourable (Graefe et al., 2016) and less trustworthy (Jakesch et al., 2019). Building on the framework of AI-mediated communication (Hancock et al., 2020; Jakesch et al., 2019), The AI Authenticity Project aims to investigate the specific linguistic characteristics that underlie our perceptions of authenticity and to unravel which features of L2 texts convey ’human-ness’. Over the course of the project, you will use a combination of qualitative methods, corpus linguistic techniques and experimental research to investigate both people’s perceptions of authenticity as well as the extent to which those perceptions reflect reality. Based on your own interests and/or expertise, possible areas of focus include (but are by no means limited to) phraseology/word combinations (e.g., Jakesch et al., 2023), syntax and grammar (e.g., Berber Sardinha, 2024) and coherence/tone of voice (e.g., Casal & Kessler, 2023). Whichever direction you choose, this project promises to be a dynamic and exciting opportunity to do ground-breaking research on a topic of major societal relevance.
