Multi-Agent Interactions with Humans

Job Number: P24INT-26
With AI agents becoming more ubiquitous, studying their impact on humans is becoming critical. To understand how to design and develop such AI agents, there is a need to postulate frameworks that study multi-human, multi-agent interactions. Additionally, it is critical to assess the impact on the design of AI agents in ad hoc multi-agent settings. The position would be critical in creating a foundational assessment of studying multi-agent interactions in controlled experimental settings. The position requires a foundational understanding of human-AI interactions, cognitive modeling, experimental design, human factors and statistical modeling, and online experimentation. The position prioritizes candidates with a strong sense of ownership around their work and can propose novel methods to improve upon their proposed work.
San Jose, CA

 

Key Responsibilities

 
  • Propose research questions and metrics to quantify and measure human performance in multi-agent settings
  • Proficiency in proposing and developing cognitive models to capture human-AI relationships 
  • Develop and conduct online studies using crowd-sourced data collection platforms like Prolific and MTurk platforms
  • Conduct rigorous statistical and causal modeling
  • Present and write results in academic manuscripts (CHI, HRI, CogSCI etc.)

 

Minimum Qualifications

 
  • Highly qualified M.S./Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science, Cognitive Science, Human factors, Statistics, or Operation/Industrial engineering.
  • Knowledge of experimental design and multivariate statistical methodologies, e.g., causal inference with observable data, longitudinal analysis, classification, dimension reduction, clustering, and hierarchical linear (random effects) modeling. Familiarity with experimental protocols and developing a workflow to ensure experimental rigor.
  • Familiarity with using toolkits to develop experimental scenarios in simulation software (Web-based or VR tools)

 

Bonus Qualifications

 
  • Proficiency in simulation and agent-based modeling.
  • Experience in evaluating multi-agent interactions.
