Co-supervision is defined here as a form of collaborative supervision where two supervisors guide and support one supervisee's research work in a doctoral study.
Feb 23, 2024 · We have presented a co-supervised learning approach for weak-to-strong generalization. Leveraging a hierarchical structure of specialized supervisors, our approach significantly boosts their collective efficiency while reducing annotation noise.
Feb 23, 2024 · In this paper, we propose to address this challenge by harnessing a diverse set of specialized teachers, instead of a single generalist one, that collectively supervises the strong student.
While there are many aspects that we could reflect on, the remainder of this chapter focuses on how we are actively addressing three key aspects of our co-supervisory relationship: (1) setting boundaries, (2) managing different ways of working and (3) creating flexibility in workload.
Jul 3, 2023 · We interviewed 19 doctoral students about their experiences of co-supervision and found a complex team climate characterised by prior relations, merit- and network-gaining activities, and ‘cushioning’ adopted by supervisors to support the student during stressful periods.
