Postdoc Opportunities in Artificial Intelligence in Italy

Bocconi University is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for a project that uses artificial intelligence to turn narratives into testable causal models. Funded by the Tech Europe Foundation and conducted in collaboration with the AI in Social Sciences (AISS) lab, the project sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, causal inference, natural language processing, and computational social science . The research will develop an applied-AI system that reads narratives about cause and ef...
