The Informatics Institute at the University of Amsterdam is looking for an ambitious PhD student to integrate AI and visual analytics in summarizing multi-modal data in the public health domain. Your research is part of the Multimedia Analytics (MultiX) lab with a strong focus on dealing with multi-modal data.
Nowadays, there is a lot of multi-modal data related to public health in local regions, such as citizen reports/complaints, social media streams, camera monitoring footage, and environmental sensor readings. There is a strong need to build AI-driven visual analytics tools that can summarize these data to help local stakeholders understand the patterns and events that are currently happening, such as air pollution, disease outbreaks, and flooding. Besides, summarization can be used to encourage citizens to monitor their surroundings, which can lead to a sense of community, autonomy, and empowerment. For example, when citizens receive an event notification via apps/emails, they can click on the notification to go to an AI-driven visual analytics tool that shows the summary with different ways for users to provide feedback interactively.
