*Job opening*
https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/722143
*Applications until January 14*

*Topics of research*
Human-centric AI, Human-Agent Interaction, Automated Playtesting

*Summary of the work*
The main objective is to develop novel research on human-centric AI. The
core goal is to develop models for AI systems that take into consideration
social-cognitive and emotional abilities. These models will be used for
human-agent interaction scenarios, such as collaborative games.
Additionally, we want to explore the usage of such AI models in autonomous
agents to predict people’s behaviour when interacting with a system. This
line of work aims at developing novel automation tools based on Artificial
Intelligence (AI) to test interactive systems, such as games and XR
systems, in particular, to assess User Experience (UX). The goal is to
apply advanced AI techniques to support the automation of tests of complex
interactive systems. The approach is to develop autonomous agents that
interact proactively with the system under test through a framework
developed in the iv4XR project (https://iv4xr-project.eu/). Such agents
should apply models of users to explore different interactions strategies
to achieve good coverage of testing, either in terms of the possible
interaction opportunities afforded by the system or in terms of the
potential different user profiles.
The grantee will join a team currently working on machine learning and
cognitive models of emotion and cognitive load to assess the UX of the
system under test. The work involves support on the coordination of the
team effort, the collaboration with the iv4XR international consortium, and
the definition of an overall integrated toolkit of components to test UX.
The expected contributions on human-centric AI, in particular, for
automated UX testing have a great potential of impact in the communities of
AI, Human-Computer Interaction, and Software Testing.

The activity will be supervised by *Rui Prada*, Associate Professor at
Instituto Superior Técnico, Universidade de Lisboa and researcher at
INESC-ID Lisboa. The grantee will be integrated at INESC-ID (Taguspark) in
the GAIPS research group (http://gaips.inesc-id.pt/) lead by Prof. *Ana
Paiva*.

*Base Remuneration*
Monthly remuneration corresponds to level 33 of the single remuneration
table (TRU), which corresponds to a monthly remuneration of 2 134,73 Euros.
