Idiap is developing its research capacities by hiring four new senior researchers. Two women and two men, whose goal will be to work on topics with great potential in AI and to continue to progress in areas that have already contributed to the reputation of the institute.
Reasoning & Explainable AI
We operate at the interface between neural and symbolic AI methods aiming to enable the next generation of explainable, data-efficient and safe AI systems. Our research investigates how the combination of latent and explicit data representation paradigms can deliver better inference over data.
Our current research areas include:
- Inference & Explanations
- Natural language inference
- Abstractive inference
- Explanation generation
- Explainable question answering
- Scientific inference & explanations
- Neuro-symbolic models
- Multi-hop reasoning
- Semantic control
- Semantic probing
- Extraction & Representation
- Sentence & discourse representation
- Open information extraction
- Knowledge Graphs
- Scalable Knowledge-based inference
- AI applications in cancer research
