Cluster of Excellence Bilateral Artificial Intelligence
*********************************************************
Call for Applications
For the recently established Cluster of Excellence (CoE) Bilateral
Artificial
Intelligence (BILAI), funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF), we are
looking for more than 50 PhD students and 10 Post-Doc researchers (m/f/d)
to join our team at one of the six leading research institutions across
Austria
(see below).
In BILAI, major Austrian players in Artificial Intelligence (AI) are
teaming up
to work towards Broad AI. As opposed to Narrow AI, which is characterized
by task-specific skills, Broad AI seeks to address a wide array of
problems,
rather than being limited to a single task or domain. To develop its
foundations,
BILAI employs a Bilateral AI approach, effectively combining
sub-symbolic AI
(neural networks and machine learning) with symbolic AI (logic, knowledge
representation, and reasoning) in various ways. Harnessing the full
potential
of both symbolic and sub-symbolic approaches can open new avenues for AI,
enhancing its ability to solve novel problems, adapt to diverse
environments,
improve reasoning skills, and increase efficiency in computation and
data use.
These key features enable a broad range of applications for Broad AI, from
drug development and medicine to planning and scheduling, autonomous
traffic management, and recommendation systems. Prioritizing fairness,
transparency, and explainability, the development of Broad AI is crucial
for addressing ethical concerns and ensuring a positive impact on society.
The research team is committed to cross-disciplinary work in order to
provide
theory and models for future AI and deployment to applications.
CoE Research Institutions:
Johannes Kepler Universität Linz (JKU Linz)
Technische Universität Wien (TU Wien)
Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt (AAU)
Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA)
Technische Universität Graz (TU Graz)
