Research Position in Artificial Intelligence Transparency and Explainability

The KerData team at INRIA is seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to work on a research project focused on advancing the transparency and explainability of Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems. The project aims to investigate mechanisms to formalize, capture, store, and manage metadata in AI-powered workflows, and to explore the relationship between model provenance, metadata, and model behavior.

Research Objectives

The project is structured into three primary objectives:

  • Aim A: Definition of ontologies and taxonomies for AI workflow provenance data from multiple angles, including system, platform, model, and application.
  • Aim B: Establishment of the technical foundation to capture, store, manage, and query provenance metadata at runtime during the execution of AI workflows.
  • Aim C: Development of a methodology to elucidate the connections between formalized provenance metadata and model behavior, assessing how these elements influence model performance and interpretability.

Methodology

The research methodology centers on analyzing the AI model life-cycle, enabling technologies, and infrastructures, using previous work on taxonomies for neural network metadata as a starting point. The team will build upon E2CLab, a solution for reproducible workflow execution with support for capturing provenance and monitoring metadata, and will extend it to provide fine-grained access to cross-layer metadata via multiple dedicated services.

Requirements

The ideal candidate should have an excellent academic record in computer science courses, knowledge on distributed systems and data management systems, strong programming skills (Python, C/C++), and ability and motivation to conduct high-quality research, including publishing the results in relevant venues. Very good communication skills in oral and written English are also required.

Benefits

The PhD position offers a monthly gross salary amounting to 2100 euros for the first and second years and 2190 euros for the third year, as well as subsidized meals, partial reimbursement of public transport costs, possibility of teleworking, and flexible organization of working hours.
