Addressing such question is the goal of the proposed postdoctoral position, that proposes to rely on natural language processing methods to detect hate messages exchanged in social networks and automatically generate counter-arguments to oppose hate content. More specifically, the candidate will focus on: - the refinement and integration of existing technologies for social media monitoring and hate-speech detection developed by the hosting team - the improvement of their robustness and portability to the French language - the generation of counter-arguments to oppose hate content The postdoctoral position is funded by the OTESIA project "L'intelligence artificielle au service de la prévention de la cyberviolence, du cyberharcèlement et de la haine en ligne'' (https://otesia.eu/limpact-de-lia-et-la-cyberviolence/), IDEX UCAJedi, "Investissement d'Avenir''. --- Candidate profile --- Mandatory requirements for applicants: - Ph.D. in Computer Science or Computational Linguistics; - Experience in Natural Language Processing, Artificial Intelligence and/or Machine Learning; - Excellent programming skills; - Good French and English skills in writing and communication. --- Terms of the postdoctoral position --- Duration: 15 months Starting date: October 2020 Hosting team: WIMMICS (http://wimmics.inria.fr/), a joint research team between INRIA Sophia Antipolis - Méditerranée and I3S (CNRS and Université Côte d'Azur).
