PhD and postdoc positions in emergent deep net communication, Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona

ALiEN (Autonomous Linguistic Emergence in Neural Networks) is a 5-year project starting on January 1st, 2022, lead by Marco Baroni. ALiEN is funded within the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program through an European Research Council 2020 Advanced Grant (grant nr. 101019291; PE6: Computer Science and Informatics panel). The aim of ALiEN is to let deep neural networks develop a shared communication protocol from the ground up, so that they can solve joint problems more flexibly.

The project is offering three 4-year PhD positions as well as two postdoc positions for up to 5 years.
