PhD position in Multimodal Behavioral Pattern Recognition using MachineLearning 60 %
Become a part of cutting-edge research in person identification using AI based on behavioral biometrics at the University of Zurich.
We are seeking a highly motivated and talented individual to join our research team as a PhD student in the area of person identification analysis using communication signals of speech, gestures, and mimics using AI. The successful candidate will work on an exciting and challenging research project that aims to develop advanced AI-based algorithms for person identification analysis using communication signals.
The project: The PhD position is part of an innovative research project titled "Computational analysis of personal identity in interaction: Recognition and ethics - CAPIRE" at the Digital Society Initiative and Department for Computational Linguistics, University of Zurich. This interdisciplinary project aims to develop advanced computational models for person identification analysis using multimodal communication signals such as speech, gestures, and facial expressions. The research will involve analyzing large datasets of human interaction data and applying state-of-the-art machine learning methods to identify unique patterns indicative of personal identity.
As a PhD student in this project, you will be part of a vibrant and supportive research environment that values young scholars' research and careers.
Your responsibilitiesThe doctoral project will be co-supervised by Prof. Dr. Volker Dellwo and Dr. Teodora Vuković.
