The PhD project will focus on emotional theory of mind, also called affective cognition, which refers to the ability to infer others’ emotions by reasoning about their mental states. This ability is tied to moral evaluation and holds potential for ethical AI. The PhD student will develop suitable datasets from human behavior data, build statistical and causal models of emotional reasoning processes, and evaluate these models’ performance in a variety of tasks. The PhD project will be beyond a classic AI-<span class="NormalTextRun ContextualSpellingAndGrammarErrorV2Themed SCXW160246764 BCX0" style="-webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; background-">project, <span class="NormalTextRun ContextualSpellingAndGrammarErrorV2Themed SCXW160246764 BCX0" style="-webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; background-">and will incorporate the knowledge and theories from <span class="NormalTextRun ContextualSpellingAndGrammarErrorV2Themed SCXW160246764 BCX0" style="-webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; background-">the Cognitive Science, Psychology and Neuroscience research.
