The Opportunity
The position is in collaboration with the Huawei Trustworthy Technology and Engineering Laboratory Munich ( TTE-DE ). As part of this project, we aim to create a new generation of large language model (LLM) agents that are more reliable, consistent and trustworthy. This ambitious project will be evaluated on standard benchmarks for agents that are supporting smartphone users. The major aim of the project is to understand where and when current agents fail to reason consistently and augment them with a neuro-symbolic layer that can fix these reasoning shortcomings without compromising performance and scalability.
The PDRA will be part of the april Lab at the School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh which is ranked among the top schools in Europe for AI research according to CSRankings .
The PDRA will be supervised by Dr. Antonio Vergari, a leader in tractable probabilistic machine learning and neuro-symbolic AI, and will collaborate with researchers and engineers from the TTE-DE Lab.
The PDRA role involves 1) conducting cutting-edge research in LLM agents with neuro-symbol...
