This PhD project aims to investigate, develop and integrate responsible 
AI framework with learning from multiple representations (LMR) by taking 
advantage of the complementarity, the redundancy, and specific 
characteristics of different representations. LMR seeks to improve 
performance as well as ensure responsible learning from multiple 
representations in comparison to methods operating on a single 
representation only. Typical examples of LMR include the combination of 
numerical and symbolic formalisms, the representation of data and models 
on different levels of abstraction, and the combination of different 
types of supervision of the learner. Hence, this project plans to 
design, develop and evaluate novel methods and metrics that evaluate the 
trade-offs between computational and ethical requirements, and further 
analyses the bias, inclusion, transparency, and interpretability of LMR 
algorithms when deploying in real-time AI systems.

Supervisors are Dr. Monowar Bhuyan (Autonomous Distributed Systems) and 
Prof. Virginia Dignum (Responsible AI). Study periods at other 
institutions part of  LEMUR (including Paderborn University, VU 
Amsterdam, KU Leuven, Bieleveld University and others) are possible.
