Semi-automatic Arc Welder (M/F)

Project Description

Research education subject: Datalogi

Social network platforms moderate content using classifiers trained on controversial values. In this project, the goal is to develop algorithms that select and rank content based on collective consensus, solely based on interaction data and without editorial judgments. The underlying methods will build on axiomatic approaches, social choice theory, and human-AI collaboration.

Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program, WASP, is Sweden's largest single research program in modern times. The program creates a platform for academic research and education in close collaboration with leading Swedish technology-intensive industry. The research includes artificial intelligence and autonomous systems that operate in collaboration with humans and adapt to their environment using sensors, information, and knowledge, creating intelligent systems of systems.

The WASP Doctoral School aims to provide future researchers with the necessary knowledge to be able to analyze, develop, and actively contribute to the interdisciplinary development of artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, and software. Through an ambitious program with research visits, partner universities, and guest lecturers, the doctoral school actively supports the formation of a strong multidisciplinary and international professional network between doctoral students, researchers, and industry.

The doctoral school thus offers a unique opportunity for students attracted by world-class international research with industrial relevance. More information

The doctoral position is funded by WASP

Supervision: Prof. Aristides Gionis is proposed to supervise the doctoral student. The decision is made upon admission.
