Co-Creativity and cyber-human systems

The person we are looking for will carry out work that is likely to renew strategies and methods in the field of artificial creativity and cyber-human systems, dealing in particular with mathematical aspects (e.g. representation spaces), individual and collective intelligent interaction strategies (modeling of autonomous musical agents, especially in improvisation: perception, memory, action, reflexivity, motivation) that can evolve towards "symbiotic" interactions and forms of mixed reality.

Particular attention will be paid to the study of new forms of "co-creativity" in cyber-human interaction networks, which appear as emerging processes of joint action, not reducible to the individual production of the agents concerned, according to multiple learning and cross-feedback relationships between the latter, whether natural or artificial. The field explored includes various forms of generative learning, with an interest in interactive models capable of continuous real-time inference when one agent produces a signal as a function of another control signal produced by another agent in a relationship of co-construction of a musical form ("what to play"); models enabling learning of interaction strategies in direct exchange with humans, notably reinforcement learning ("when to play / how to play"); "social" AI,social" AI, accounting for the emergence of collective dynamics in the context of multiplayer games ("who to play with").

The hiring is at the full professor level. The candidate must have a position equivalent to professor, senior resesearcher ,or show equivalent research achievements.
