The Chair of Data Science and Natural Language Processing (Prof. Siegfried Handschuh) invites applications for a PhD position as part of the recently granted Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF) research project "Conversational AI: Dialogue-based Adaptive Argumentative Writing Support". You will contribute to its successful implementation, as well as the chair's varied activities in teaching and outreach.
Our research at the Data Science and NLP Chair at ICS-HSG focuses on the cutting-edge field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Natural Language Understanding (NLU). Our group delves into various aspects, including conversational AI, Large Language Models (LLM), intricate language analysis, Knowledge Graphs and more. Utilising sophisticated methods and algorithms, we aim to extract deeper knowledge and understanding from vast amounts of textual and auditory data. Our research not only delves into the core principles of NLP but also explores its practical applications across various industries.
