I would like to inform you about a research grant (assegno di ricerca) available at the University of Genoa in the field of information visualization and learning analytics.

- Project: the research grant is part of the PRIN 2022 PNRR, NEXT GENERATION EU, EKEEL Project - Empowering Knowledge Extraction to Empower Learners.

- Short description: The automatic extraction of concepts and relationships from video lectures enables the generation of semantic graphs representing the structure of content and its connections. Such graphs can be used for the development of methods and applications to support video-based learning and learning processes. In this context, the grant has two main goals: 1) design, development, and testing of innovative methods and applications for video augmentation and knowledge visualization based on the semantic graphs extracted as part of the project, 2) analysis of the experimental data using qualitative-quantitative methods and pattern recognition techniques to study learners’ behavior.

- Location: University of Genoa, Department of 'Informatica, Bioingegneria, Robotica e Ingegneria dei Sistemi (DIBRIS)', Italy. The activity can be held remotely if required by the candidate.

- Start date: 2 December 2024 or later, if required.

- Total amount for 1 year: € 23.250,00

- Supervisor: Prof. Ilaria Torre

- Admission criteria: Master's degree in computer science or a related field (details in the call).

- Application deadline: 8th November 2024 (12:00 pm Italy time)

I kindly ask you to forward this call to anyone who might be interested and please feel free to contact me if you need any additional information.
