Description:

We are currently recruiting a PhD student for a fully-funded (tuition
and stipend) position for the project: “Can a robot impersonate a
human? Studying machines’ ability to mimic linguistic identity” funded
by an ESRC North West Social Science Doctoral Training Partnership
grant. The position is in collaboration with Naimuri,
https://naimuri.com,  and contains a substantial element of industrial
experience. The project will address the following research questions:
(1) To what extent can LLMs impersonate a specific individual such
that they can fool forensic linguistic detection? (2) How do we modify
existing detection methods to mitigate the problems identified in (1)?

Application Deadline: 20-Jul-2024
