vor 4 Wochen


Leipzig, Sachsen, Deutschland Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research Vollzeit

Project Overview

The Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research is seeking a highly skilled researcher to work on a Master's thesis project focused on developing a ChatBot Python package utilizing Large Language Models (LLMs) and grounding them with a knowledge graph of information on researchers, their roles, and research. The project aims to create an intuitive, data-driven platform that maps employees' skills, expertise, and work methodologies, enabling the research unit to optimize strategic planning, resource allocation, foster cross-functional collaboration, and enhance knowledge sharing.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop a ChatBot Python package based on LLMs
  • Implement a retrieval augmented generation solution to ground the LLM with knowledge stored in a Graph Database
  • Design and engineer prompts to allow correct responses to project-relevant questions
  • Provide visualizations for showcase purposes

Requirements

  • Background in Computer Science
  • Advanced understanding of LLM APIs
  • Solid programming skills in Python
  • Experience with software development in an IDE (JetBrains PyCharm)
  • Experience with collaborative software development and agile project management with Git
  • Database experience and database querying languages, preferably with graph databases and CYPHER
  • Fluent in spoken and written English
