Development of AI Technology for Process-Centered Assessment for Customized Education (Recruiting)
Description
The purpose of this research is to go beyond merely using the latest AI technologies, aiming to develop core technologies for providing customized and reliable education. Duplicate applications are not allowed, and candidates should have a foundational knowledge in the relevant fields, with a focus on research and publication of related technologies and papers. In each category, candidates have the flexibility to propose their own research topics.
1. Multi-Modal Hybrid Task-Oriented Dialogue System
Current large language models (LLMs) struggle to accurately capture user intent during interactions, which is a significant limitation preventing agents from providing appropriate assistance within specific contexts. Moreover, LLMs often blindly agree with demonstrations and find it difficult to accurately interpret user intent. This project aims to research a hybrid task-oriented dialogue system (TOD) that effectively utilizes LLMs to enhance existing TOD models and better achieve user goals.
2. Multilingual Training and Machine Translation Model
Although many multilingual models have emerged, they commonly perform poorly with low-resource languages and fail to reflect cultural differences. Additionally, as LLM-based machine translation models compete with traditional machine translation models (e.g., NLLB), this project aims to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of each and develop a hybrid model.
3. Mathematical Reasoning, Multi-Modal Reasoning, and Hallucination
Current LLMs show weaknesses in mathematical computations and complex reasoning due to issues like hallucinations and the characteristics of neural databases. This project aims to analyze the mathematical capabilities of current LLMs and enhance their mathematical reasoning abilities through various techniques, such as semantic parsing, beyond simple sampling and Tree of Thoughts (ToT) decoding.
4. Adaptation of Diffusion in Computational Linguistics and NLP
This program is designed for individuals passionate about advancing the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) through the innovative use of diffusion models. The program focuses on exploring and integrating diffusion models into various NLP applications to enhance the controllability. This project aims to research new diffusion models that ensure text quality, diversity, and semantic quality by combining continuous and discrete diffusion models, with the goal of developing the next architecture beyond current models like ChatGPT.
5. AI Trustworthy: Fairness and Ethical Preference
As the anthropomorphism of LLMs can place users in perilous situations beyond discomfort, including those that may encourage suicidal thoughts, it is crucial to flexibly detect the toxicity of generated responses, moving beyond static definitions to accommodate various contexts. In this regard, we aim to develop models that generate responses that align with social norms and moral standards in response to sensitive input sequences.
Candidate Qualifications
