Joining XFACT

We have openings for both MS and PhD students each semester.


Subject Areas

We are recruiting students with an interest in natural language processing with real-world applications. James's primary interest is in fact verification, but he is also keen to recruit students with an interest in the following topics:

  • Combining information retrieval with natural language processing tasks (e.g. Open Domain QA, Neural Databases, Fact Verification)
  • Interpretable machine-learning methods, generating explanations, causal reasoning
  • Knowledge graph construction
  • Natural Language Processing for economics and financial applications


Application process

All students are required to submit an application to KAIST before their published deadlines. Candidates who wish to join XFact should complete this expression of interest form, providing a CV as well as a short statement of research interests.


Interns

Unless other special circumstances apply (please contact by email), interns should apply to the KAIST AI Research Internship (KAIRI) program. Expressions of interest submitted via the form will be reviewed first, but this is not a requirement.


MS Students

Students should contact the lab after their notification of acceptance at KAIST. Early expressions of interest submitted via the form will be reviewed first, but this is not a requirement.


PhD Students (and MS/PhD)

The student should contact the lab before applying to KAIST obtain the "intent for supervision" document (지도의향서) to work in this lab. Please submit the form in advance of making your application to KAIST (preferably 1 month before) and I will schedule a meeting. Early submission is preferred.
