**About the project**

**Project Director(s) **Prof. Martin Scheinin

**Project details **ELOQUENCE - Multilingual and Cross-cultural interactions for context-aware, and

ELOQUENCE is focused on the research and development of innovative
technologies for collaborative voice/chat bots. Voice assistant-powered dialogue
engines have previously been deployed in a number of commercial and
governmental technological pipelines, with a diverse level of complexity. In our
concept, such a complexity can be understood as a problem of analysing
unstructured dialogues. ELOQUENCE’s key objective is to better comprehend
those unstructured dialogues and translate them into explainable, safe, knowledge
- grounded, trustworthy and bias-controlled language models. We envision to
develop a technology capable of learning by its own, by adapting from a very data
- limited corpora to efficiently support most of the EU languages; from a sustainable
computational framework to efficient and green-power architectures and, in
essence, that may serve as a guidance for all European citizens whilst being
respectful and showing the best of our European values, specifically supporting
Overall, the ELOQUENCE project considers building on top and to improve of prior
achievements in the domain of conversational agents, e.g. recently launched and
public-domain Large Language Models (LLMs), such as chatGPT (e.g., more recent
versions), or LaMDa most of them developed in non-EU countries. While including
key industrial enterprises from Europe (i.e., Omilia, Telefonica, Synelixis),
ELOQUENCE will validate the developed technology through (i) safety-critical
services in call centres) and (ii) smart home assistants via information retrieval and
fact-checking against an online knowledge base for lesser risky autonomous
systems (i.e., home-assistants). ELOQUENCE will target the R&D of these novel
conversational AI technologies in multilingual and multimodal environments and
demonstrated in several pilots.

**Job description **The research assistant will provide research support to the Director of the project.
Main tasks include:

- supporting the coordination of multidisciplinary expert panels that will

assess emerging ELOQUENCE technologies for their compatibility with
European values, including fundamental rights and other requirements of
ethics, law and societal acceptance and acceptability. About 30 such
assessments will be conducted during the project period.
- participating in the draft of project deliverables based on the above
- mentioned assessments and parallel strands of ELOQUENCE work,
including results from surveys conducted by other project partners. In
particular, the EUI is responsible for ELOQUENCE deliverable D6.2 as a

in June 2025, and deliverable D6.4 which will be a final report of all
ELOQUENCE work in Work Package 6 lead by the EUI, due in November
