PhD student position and postdoctoral position in socially adaptive computing, Delft (The Netherlands)

The Interactive Intelligence group at Delft University of Technology invites applications for 1 PhD position (4 years) and 1 postdoc position (2 years) in the  CoreSAEP project (Computational Reasoning for Socially Adaptive Electronic Partners) let by Dr. M. Birna van Riemsdijk.

The goal of the project is to develop techniques for creating software that understands norms and values of people, which we call Socially Adaptive Computing. Through development of formal models we lay the foundations for intelligent supportive technology that can take into account social relations and human values, for example privacy, freedom and safety, when taking decisions on our behalf. Decisions may concern, e.g., which data to share with whom or who to contact if help is needed. This becomes more and more important with the rise of AI and Data Science and the increasing pervasiveness of intelligent technology in our daily lives.
