Research Assistant (Source Code, Data, Reporting) For Generative AI In Cultural Heritage
Job Description
The Knowledge Graphs Lab at the Department of Informatics of King?s is looking for two enthusiastic research assistants (RAs) to join us during 1st July - 5th September (ideal as a summer job) to help us complete an ambitious Horizon Europe research project on Generative AI and Cultural Heritage.
Each of the RA will work independently on two different branches of work:
* Branch 1. An extension of CUBE-MT, a multimodal knowledge graph benchmark that uses Generative AI to widen the representations available for cultural heritage objects in Wikidata. This is in itself based on CUBE, a benchmark for text-to-image ML models in cultural awareness (https://www.arxiv.org/abs/2407.06863). The RA will work in adding more artworks to the current CUBE-MT work, adapting the Python code pipeline and building a UI/UX for demonstration purposes. The RA will also have the responsibility of writing technical documentation in a project deliverable.
* Branch 2. The publication of a recent dataset we have created (https://www.albertmeronyo.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/LAW_ACL2025_Semantic_Drift-1.pdf) with annotations on semantic change in disability sources to the Dataverse (https://dataverse.org/) platform. The RA will reuse and extend our Python data interface to make this upload possible, as well as adapting it to also upload CUBE-MT (branch 1) assets. The RA will also build a UI/UX for demonstration purposes, and will also have the responsibility of writing technical documentation in a project deliverable.
The two branches work in tandem in terms of timelines, but they're almost completely independent. The two RAs will report regularly to the PI (Albert Mero?o) to make sure work is on track, but they will be expected to take responsibility for the work, have a pro-active role in solving issues, and independently make well-informed decisions. The work will develop in 18h/week (~3 days/week) over a period of 10 weeks, so around 180h of work in total for each RA.
