Hello,
We are hiring 2 PhD students to work on combining language models with structured data, starting from September 2025, at Telecom Paris, Institut Polytechnique de Paris.
Large Language Models are amazing, and with our research project, we aim to make them even more amazing! Our project will connect large language models to structured knowledge such as knowledge bases or databases. With this,
1. language models will stop hallucinating
2. language models can be audited and updated reliably
3. language models will become smaller and thus more eco-friendly and deployable
We work in the DIG team at Telecom Paris, one of the finest engineering schools in France, and part of Institute Polytechnique de Paris — ranked 38th in the world by the QS ranking. The institute is 45 min away from Paris by public transport, and located in the green of the Plateau de Saclay.
Excited about joining us? Tick these boxes:
1. Have a good background in natural language processing, machine learning, and knowledge representation
2. Have a master's degree (or equivalent)
3. Be of European nationality (imposed by our sponsor, the French Ministry of Armed Forces)
