16. Development and analysis of explainable AI (XAI) techniques focusing on graph neural networks (GNNs) and graph based datasets
Goals, Topics: Goal: GNNs are considered the go-to solution when it comes to modeling interactions and working with problems that can be naturally described as a graph. While GNNs have exceptional predictive power, the lack of inherent explanations for the predictions makes these models unsuitable for certain safety-critical applications.
This project focuses on applying GNNs on specific datasets (molecule structure datasets, interaction networks, traffic data, etc.) that are available in a graph representation to perform graph/subgraph classification, node classification or link prediction tasks. The trained models will be tested and validated with different explainability techniques and the resulting explanations will be compared and evaluated using standard explainability metrics (e.g. fidelity, accuracy, sparsity).
Used Technologies: Deep Learning, Graph Neural Networks, XAI, Python, PyTorch (preferred) or TensorFlow, NetworkX
Who are we searching for?: BSc or MSc students with a background in machine learning and deep learning
Is it open for students of the Campus of Szombathely?: Nem / No

17. Static/dynamic source code analysis and transformations for Erlang — RefactorErl
Goals, Topics, Used Technologies: Static program analysis is a well-known technique in computer-aided software development when we can help to check certain properties of the software without running the applications and wasting the time of a developer. With the techniques of static and dynamic analyses, we can check the quality/security of the software, the optimal usage of resources, energy consumption, or able to improve our development and maintenance processes. In our research project, we are focusing on the Erlang programming language. Erlang is a functional programming language designed for implementing highly concurrent and distributed applications. Just Cisco ships more than 2 million of devices per year with Erlang on board. Thus the 90% of the internet traffic goes through devices controlled by Erlang applications.
