Studentship start: from February 2021

Project information

This research project will be in the context of a collaboration between the NLP/Software Engineering teams at the Open University and Toshiba Europe. It will involve investigating and developing an AI buddy/dialogue system for pair programming, which can collaborate with a software developer on solving a programming problem (either from scratch or by completing a skeleton program). A distinctive aspect of the project will be the exploration of multimodal communication by the AI buddy. There is scope to focus on specific modalities depending on the strengths and interest of the student.

Keywords: dialogue modelling, question generation, pair programming, multimodality

Key skills: 1st class computer science degree, knowledge of Artificial Intelligence techniques, ideally including NLP and multimodality

2 PhD positions in semantics/pragmatics
University of Stuttgart
The advertised positions are part of a long-term research effort on modeling sources of misunderstanding in written text. A substantial amount of previous work has studied misunderstandings in dialogue, but suitable resources for written language are scarce because misunderstandings cannot be observed directly from a text. Since readers and writers typically do not interact, it is important for authors to ensure that texts leave no room for misinterpretation. Otherwise, for example, medical instructions may be followed incorrectly, and route directions may not guide navigators to their desired destination. The goal of this project is to create the resources and methods necessary to prevent such outcomes.

Over the course of this year, we published three papers in CL/NLP conferences (check the COLING schedule for one of them!), which form the basis of ongoing and future work in the project. The successful applicants for the two new posts will focus on investigating lingustic causes of potential misunderstandings (e.g., specific cases of implicit or underspecified language), improving classification models by incorporating additional information (e.g., commonsense knowldge or multi-modal context), and testing such models in downstream tasks (e.g., ambiguity detection or machine translation). Both positions will be available for up to three years, starting in early/mid 2021.
