Connectionists: [Jobs] Available Ph.D. Position in Cognitive Robotics / Human-Robot Interaction

[Amir Aly]

Dear All,

*Apologies for cross-posting*
We are pleased to announce an opportunity for a funded PhD studentship
(*Cross-Modal
Language Learning with Large Language Models through Human-Robot
Interaction*) at the Center for Robotics and Neural Systems (CRNS) at
Plymouth University, UK. The closing date for applications is *12 noon
on **15th
March 2024* *(The difference in tuition fees between national and
international students will be waived for excellent international
candidates)*.

This exciting project aims to create a robot learning framework that
integrates the wide linguistic capabilities of *Large Language Models *(LLMs)
with robot perceptual information (e.g., visual and/or haptic perception) for
language learning covering *word grounding* and bottom-up *sentence
formation*, which can make robots develop language and understand human
communication across contexts (*more details and research questions are
available in the link below*). More details *about the topic *and *how to
apply* are available at:
