Phd Position: Nlp for Open Government
2 weken geleden
**PhD position: NLP for open government (0,8-1,0 FTE)**
**Project description**:
As part of the open government movement, governments are increasingly making their documents available online. One specific category of documents being disclosed proactively by governments is the class of so-called ‘single-case decisions’, e.g. on licensing, subsidizing and sanctioning (see for example WooGLe (wooverheid.nl) - beschikkingen). However, due to the huge volume and complexity of these legal texts in combination with the diversified structure of these documents, legal awareness is hard to achieve and understanding these legal texts tends to become “riddles wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma”. This project aim to transform the way open government documents, specifically single-case decisions of Dutch governments, are accessed and understood by legal professionals (public officials) and the general public. To this end, we will focus on extracting information and recognizing patterns of decision-making across various subsets of these documents using advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) techniques.
The three challenges that will be addressed in this project are:
- How to extract concise, clear, and expressive insight (e.g. representation, entity) from single-case decisions as a particular type of government documents.
- How to identify homogeneous clusters of governments decisions made by and represent them in an efficient, explainable, and transparent fashion.
- How to address the ethical concerns of current decision making process using XAI-methods and fairness measures to promote a fair and responsible approach.
**Requirements**:
- Strong interest in Artificial Intelligence, Natural Language Processing, Explainable AI.
- Strong programming skills (e.g. Python, PyTorch, Tensorflow)
- The ability to work individually as well as effectively in an interdisciplinary team;
- Excellent knowledge of English and good academic writing skills.
- Fluency in Dutch is a plus, because of the language of the official documents of Dutch governments
**What we offer**
- A full-time position.
- A minimum gross salary of € 2.770;
- per month up to a maximum of € 3.539;
- in the fourth year.
- A holiday allowance of 8% and an end-of-year bonus of 8.3% (annually).
- Assistance in finding accommodation.
- Benefits such as an options model for terms and conditions of employment and reimbursement of moving expenses, also including excellent technical infrastructure, savings schemes and excellent sport facilities.
The collective labor agreement of the Dutch Universities applies.
To apply, please submit:
- a motivation letter in which you describe why you want to do this research, and why you are the right person to do it;
- a full curriculum vitae, demonstrating academic excellence, including publications (if applicable);
- academic transcripts of your Bachelor and Master’s degrees;
- a sample of writing, such as your Master’s thesis or a relevant paper;
