About
Two-year, full-time postdoctoral appointment investigating commonsense reasoning in multimodal world models. Research combines neural and symbolic methods to represent abstractions, causality, space and time, with the aim of improving human-centred AI. The project involves collaboration across AI, computer vision and reasoning, alongside limited teaching and student supervision. The preferred start is in the first quarter of 2027.
Topics
- commonsense reasoning
- multimodal world models
- symbolic methods
- abstractions
- causality
