PhD Studentship in Computer Science: AI and Machine Learning Explaincapability:Job description:Qualification Type: PhD Award summary 100% Home fees covered and a minimum tax-free annual living allowance of £18,622 (2023-24 UKRI rate) Overview One of the main issues with machine learning algorithms is that they are black boxes to human users.It is difficult to make sense of why a machine learning approach has provided a particular result as output.In this project, students will create explainable systems for machine learning systems.Through visualisation techniques, we will help open the black box of the model to understand training and/or predictions.This area, broadly speaking, is the target and candidates could help shape the project in this domain. We are also interested in knowledge the learning dynamics (i.e., loss landscape and backwards propagation) and feature interaction (i.e., attention mechanism) at a large scale neural networks using novel visualisation approaches.
