This PhD project at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU) focuses on developing a real-time, multi-dimensional framework for evaluating interaction quality between humans and Socially Interactive Agents (SIAs), including digital humans, embodied conversational agents, and virtual avatars. These agents are increasingly deployed in education, healthcare, entertainment, and service contexts, but current evaluation methods rely on post-interaction questionnaires and subjective feedback, which ...

University of Twente is offering a postdoctoral position on Multimodal Conversational AI for Cultural Heritage in the Human Media Interaction group, within the broader Hybrid Intelligence Centre. The project, Balancing Personalisation and Polyvocality: Dialogic Interaction for Open-mindedness and Empathy in Conversational AI , explores how museum conversational agents can adapt to individual visitors while still exposing them to unfamiliar, marginalised, or challenging perspectives. The research...

PhD opportunity in Human-AI Interaction for Generative User Interfaces (GenUI) at Aarhus University , Denmark, within the Computer Science programme at the Graduate School of Natural Sciences. The project is part of the NordForsk-funded RAID (Responsible AI in Interaction Design Practice) initiative and focuses on the emerging paradigm of Generative User Interfaces (GenUI) —interfaces that are partially or fully generated using AI to fit users’ needs, skills, circumstances, or preferences.
