Job Description

Most code is now written as a collaboration between humans and code-assistive technologies, which are based on foundation models, trained on text and source code. How can we ensure that this collaboration is most effective? In this ambitious project, we will develop methods based on machine learning, cognitive science, and software engineering that improve the effectiveness of human-AI collaboration in the domain of code generation. An example of a concrete research question of interest is how to adapt the model output based on inferences about the user's cognitive state. We will also validate our developed methods via large-scale crowdsourced human experiments as well as in-person studies with a more focused population of programmers.

Requirements

  • Suitable candidates will have strong computational backgrounds
  • and have research experience with 1) large language models for text and/or code generation and 2) running human user studies. Experience with analyzing and modeling brain imaging data (EEG and/or fMRI) is beneficial
  • but not required. Fluent communication in written and spoken English is required.
