2 PhDs positions on Knowledge Graphs for Decision Making & Manufacturing

The DTAI group at KU Leuven in Belgium has the following 2 PhD positions at
the intersection of Semantic Web and Knowledge Graphs with Machine Learning
and Reasoning:
1. Knowledge Graphs for Decision Making
2. Knowledge Graphs for Manufacturing

*Decision Making Project*
Companies make dozens or hundreds of decisions every day. Despite the major
impact of these decisions, employees often receive little or no decision
support. In this research, we will investigate how knowledge graphs can
support the decision making process, especially when data is not available
in one place. During this PhD, you will answer research questions such as:
- Which methodology can be used to represent information derived from data
to support the decision making process?
- Which methodology can be used to gather knowledge from multiple
decentralized and heterogeneous data sources to support the decision making
process?

*Manufacturing Project*
This project aims to capture and digitize operator expertise and knowhow.
When successful the project will allow to fully automate the (re)tuning
procedure or assist junior operators so that the supported tuning cycle is
equivalent or superior to that of an expert operator.
During this PhD, you will answer research questions such as:
- How can we represent operators’ knowledge and historical data as
knowledge graphs to combine the information from the two sides?
- How can we use knowledge graphs and semantic web technologies to create a
generic solution that can be reused across different companies and machines?

If you are interested in these positions, have a look at

send your application by 31st July.
