WASP-funded postdoc position in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence at Örebro University.
Background
The post-doc will be affiliated with the research Centre for Applied Autonomous Sensor Systems (AASS, http://www.oru.se/aass), which carries out multi-disciplinary research at the intersection of robotics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, computer vision, and computer science.
The project focuses on neurosymbolic artificial intelligence and on the integration of learning and reasoning. While there has been a lot of progress on both machine learning and machine reasoning, their integration remains a key open challenge in artificial intelligence. The distinction between learning and reasoning is related to the differences between fast and slow thinking, between data-driven and knowledge-based approaches, and between symbolic versus subsymbolic representations. The project will take a neurosymbolic AI approach, which is viewed as integrating logical, probabilistic and neural models. The goal of the project is to develop novel neurosymbolic AI approaches and to apply them to applications in domains such as biology or autonomous systems.
