Funded PhD Studentship in Ethical NLP Research
Funded PhD studentship opportunity in NLP with a focus on ethical implications, open to UK, EU, and international applicants.
We are pleased to announce a fully funded PhD studentship opportunity in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) with a focus on ethical implications.
The studentship, funded by Baill Gifford, is open to UK, EU, and international applicants and will support rigorous interdisciplinary PhD research into the ethical challenges posed by the growing use of NLP and artificial intelligence.
The project aims to examine the current ecosystems and practices for the development of language technologies, proactively develop technologies for examining NLP tools and their social ramifications, or design NLP technologies that encourage ethical practices.
- Investigate how NLP and machine learning contribute to inequities in society
- Show how end-users of NLP technologies can benefit from personalisation and privacy preservation methods
- Investigate why current methods for addressing social biases in NLP and machine learning models fall short, and identify remedies for such shortcomings
- Examine NLP and machine learning literature for the values that underpin research in the field
