HYBRID INTELLIGENCE CENTER - Key Persons
I am Davide Dell'Anna and I am a postdoctoral researcher. In my research, I investigate solutions for the control of autonomous and intelligent systems via data-driven mechanisms that explicitly account for human intentionality so to ensure behaviors that are aligned with human norms and values. Within the Hybrid Intelligence project, I investigate methodologies and metrics for designing and evaluating HI systems.
Who am I? My name is Davide Grossi. I am an expert in collective decision-making: how to make groups work intelligently together to achieve results that no group member could achieve on its own. My contribution to the Hybrid Intelligence project is to bring this ‘group intelligence' perspective into the design of novel methods for machines and humans to cooperate.
My name is Hayley Hung I am an Associate Professor at Delft University of Technology. I lead the Socially Perceptive Computing Lab where my team and I work on developing novel automated approaches for machines to understand humans as social and emotional beings. We focus primarily on multi-modal multi-sensor fusion approaches to interpret human non-verbal behaviour, and how this plays out in groups.
I am a postdoctoral researcher in Utrecht University under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Pınar Yolum. Our research focuses on partially observable reinforcement learning within the scope of multi-party privacy conflicts. We aim to build a system where the conflicts are autonomously solved by the learning agents yet evolving according to the dynamic behavior of the humans they represent.
My name is Emre Erdogan. I am a PhD student at Utrecht University under the supervision of professors Frank Dignum, Rineke Verbrugge, and Pinar Yolum. I am working on enhancing our computational understanding of Theory of Mind and developing AI agents that can use Theory of Mind reasoning efficiently and accurately when interacting with humans.
Hello, my name is Feline and I started my PhD at Rijksuniversiteit Groningen in September 2023. My project treats algorithmic support for large-scale deliberation and I am supervised by Davide Grossi (RuG) and Pradeep Murukannaiah (TuD). The topic falls primarily within the field of (computational) social choice, combining elements from mathematics, theoretical computer science, (political) philosophy and economics, to ask and answer questions about collective decision making. Before this, I studied Mathematics at the Universiteit van Amsterdam, thereby including detours into other exciting fields (like philosophy). I then learnt that I what I really wanted to do, is fun math that is about something; something I find important, preferably.This I found in my current position.
I am Mark Adamik, a PhD student at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. My project is titled ‘common-sense reasoning for embodied agents' and it is supervised by Ilaria Tiddi and Stefan Schlobach from the Knowledge Representation and Reasoning Group and by Piek Vossen from Computational Linguistics & Text Mining Lab. I hold degrees in Robotics Engineering with a focus on Human-Robot Interaction and collaborative robotics, and I'm excited to contribute to HI by focusing on how the interaction could be enhanced by augmenting the control algorithms with common-sense reasoning.
Job Titles:
- Student at the University of Amsterdam. Interested in Applying Deep Reinforcement Learning Methods to Human - AI Interaction Problems
I am Bart Verheij and I work in Groningen, where I am head of the AI department and hold the chair of AI and argumentation as associate professor. I have a mixed background in mathematics, artificial intelligence and law.
Job Titles:
- Social Multi - Agent Systems ( Currently at Umeå University )
Hi! I'm Ramira, a PhD candidate in the area of human-AI collaboration. My project concerns itself with creating a shared background and mutual understanding in decision-making processes (‘creating common ground') - under the supervision of dr. Max van Duijn (Leiden University) and prof. dr. Rineke Verbrugge (University of Groningen). In my spare time, I like playing and optimising card/board/video games: an element I try to bring into my work on decision-making in competitive and collaborative settings.
Siddharth is a PhD candidate at Interactive Intelligence group at TU Delft. His PhD thesis explores engineering and designing AI systems to elicit appropriate trust from humans. To achieve this he combines knowledge from AI, HCI, Computational Social Science and Psychology.
