We are advertising a post-doctoral position in ML/XAI : 18 month at
IMT Mines Alès (south of France), or IMT Business School, Evry (near
Paris)

Subject: Evaluation of the impact of XAI techniques on Human-Machine
collaboration

Context: ENFIELD project, Horizon-funded European AI Network of
Excellence on adaptive, sustainable, human-centered and trustworthy
AI.

Objectives :

Evaluate the impact of XAI methods on Human-Machine collaboration
through the study of : Performance of the human operator in performing
a task, in different contexts: alone, with the help of a predictive
model for which decisions will be explained/not explained, with the
help of an XAI technique, Types of human-machine collaboration
(e.g. delegation, substitution, mediation), Potential biases induced
by XAI techniques.

A focus will be made on specific contexts of study (e.g., image
classification or NLP tasks, XAI techniques based on local
interpretability using attribution methods).

You will contribute to:

- Defining the study contexts (e.g. games, image classification) and
  test protocols to be considered.

- Selecting and implementing predictive models and XAI techniques.

- Set up the tools needed to carry out the experiments covered by the
  study protocols, e.g. development of simple games, decision
  interfaces.

- Implement the above-mentioned protocols on cohorts of human
  operators.

- Evaluate and promote the results obtained.
