[with apologies for cross postings]

The TALOS European project at University of Crete (Greece) is 
advertising 3 PhD positions in Artificial Intelligence for Digital 
Humanities (https://talos-ai4ssh.uoc.gr/)

_Domain_: Artificial Intelligence & Digital Humanities

_Duration & Start date_: 3 years & as soon as possible

_Funding_: 1.200 € net salary

_Location_: University of Crete (Greece) at Rethymno (https://en.uoc.gr/)

_Required degree_: Master in Computer Science or in Digital Humanities

_Contact_: Prof Christophe Roche (christophe.roche at uoc.gr - 
http://christophe-roche.fr/) & Dr Maria Papadopoulou 
(maria.papadopoulou at uoc.gr - http://o4dh.com/maria-papadopoulou)

*a) 1 PhD in “Semantic Annotation and Knowledge Graphs. Application to 
Classics/Ancient Greek”*

Use Hybrid AI (Deep Learning, Symbolic AI, Natural Language Processing) 
to semantically annotate large text collections that cover vast 
historical time periods. Semantically annotated texts will be enriched 
with metadata, i.e. with references to concepts stored in knowledge 
graphs, including domain ontologies, for the purpose of effective data 
management. The objective is to produce open datasets that are 
shareable, searchable, findable, and linkable to external resources.

*b) 1 PhD position in “Artificial Intelligence for the Preservation and 
Dissemination of Cultural Heritage”*

The objective is to preserve and open cultural items in such a way that 
they are shareable, linkable and findable. Particular attention will be 
paid to scarce resources such as linear B inscriptions. Deep Learning 
will be used to complete inscriptions. Terminology, ontology and 
knowledge graphs will be used for their representation. Expected results 
include the creation of an online museum and library dedicated to the 
Linear B inscription in compliance with the Linked and Open Data standards.

*c) 1 PhD in “Digitalisation of Education: Contribution of Artificial 
Intelligence to Curriculum Analysis”*

The aim of the PhD is to propose a modelling and a digital 
representation of curricula that allow their processing by machines, for 
example for the study of their alignment with skills and activities. To 
this end, the contribution of artificial intelligence, natural language 
processing, Knowledge representation and standards (ISO & W3C) will be 
studied. This includes ontologies which “are used with great success in 
education because they allow to formulate the representation of a 
learning domain by specifying all concepts involved, relations between 
concepts and all properties and conditions that exist” [Stancin et al. 
2020].
