Join us in investigating computational models for handling human deception. As AI agents become more prevalent, it is paramount that we design for a human propensity for exploiting and corrupting these systems. In this project, you will design, develop, and test mechanisms (protocols and modalities) for AI agents within AI-human interaction where the human party is incentivised to be dishonest. You will work with PhDs within Designing Intelligence Lab to develop a framework for detecting and a library of mechanisms deterring deception through conversational interfaces.

There has been a torrent of successful deep reinforcement learning applications in digital games (Go, Dota, Atari games, etc). With time and a well-designed reward system, agents can quickly develop strategies to play the game effectively. However, we are not interested in simply spectating how well an AI agent can play one game, after hours of training. We want one that we can teach to play any game with us, right out the box. In this project, you will build a conversation AI framework employing active learning to grasp a non-digital game's gameplay and quickly reach "enough competency" to play with any human partner(s). You will work with PhD candidates within the Designing Intelligence Lab to develop semi-supervised machine learning algorithms. You will apply NLU in a tabletop gameplay meta-learning context.

One essential part of creativity is idea generation where people explore a given problem's solution space. The most known techniques for idea generation include generating ideas from memory and by direct association (inventory and association), identifying and breaking common assumptions (provocative) or using analogies (confrontative). In human-human interaction, these process, however, is often burdened by social factors such as criticism, dominance, judgment, comparison - to name a few. Could technology help here? Conversational agents have been proved to tackle the inhibiting social factors and provide an open and judgment-free conversational setting. They can also adapt to changing interactions, steer interaction to be more productive, and be tailored to a specific topic of interest. Within this project, you will look into the literature on creative facilitation to implement a computational framework to maximize solution space exploration. To achieve this, you will use data-driven methods to implement and evaluate a dialogue system. It is up to you whether the system will interact with an individual or a team. To adjust the project's scope, it is advisable to focus on the specific case and/or group of users.
