Project Description
This project seeks to discover how humans can interact with multiple modalities of information to uncover complementary or conflicting narratives. This project will conduct research into the design of immersing a human into a 3D reconstruction to visually investigate their surroundings, and for the human to engage in dialogue with a robot or virtual agent about the space. The human can cross-reference written sources with visual cues to reveal deception, man-made or as a result of overlooking. The internship will involve the scoping of a research question that fits within these areas of deception, trust, and user interaction paradigms for dialogue and exploration. The intern will design an actionable research plan, conduct the plan and adapt to unforeseen circumstances, and document findings in an academic paper draft. Possible focused topics include developing labeled corpora, experimenting with signature models or developing novel workflows, implementing proof-of-concept dashboards and interaction paradigms, and/or designing evaluation criteria for assessing state-of-the-art and new models.
