Working at the UvA
Join our team!
Creating scientific datasets that can be reused by others facilitates knowledge synthesis and discovery, but proves challenging, especially in teams with participants with various backgrounds and various levels of expertise. Methodologies for knowledge elicitation focus on human-human teams, whereas they can greatly benefit from using conversational AI agents for such tasks. This project investigates the role conversational AI agents can play in supporting communication in heterogeneous teams (e.g., scientists and engineers) with the aim of eliciting knowledge concerning the context of scientific datasets. Doing so, we create data specifications that match the needs of users and systems or algorithms using such datasets, thereby increasing their reuse.
We are looking for a PhD candidate to work on Hybrid Intelligence techniques for creating reusable datasets. You will explore data-centric research problems within and using AI solutions, addressing questions such as:
- How can we use conversational AI to support collaboration in heterogeneous teams?
- What are effective collaborative patterns for knowledge elicitation in heterogeneous teams for scientific data, with a focus on tacit knowledge?
- How can the quality of collaboration in hybrid heterogeneous teams be measured?
The PhD position will be jointly supervised by dr. Lise Stork and prof. Paul Groth from the Intelligent Data Engineering Lab at the University of Amsterdam, and Davide Dell’Anna from the Responsible AI group at the University of Utrecht.
