Graduate Internship Offers

Cognitive algorithms for an artificial memory

6 Months AI Internship in Paris

Cognitive algorithms for an artificial memory

Project description

This internship will contribute to the design of an artificial memory inspired by the human memory. This artificial memory organizes the information, knowledge, observations in a semantic network that serves as a support for various mechanisms such as prejudices learning, inference reasoning, planning. An example of application of this project concerns the human-machine dialog.

Internship Description

A semantic network allows the representation of a set of knowledge in the form of a graph whose nodes are concepts. This representation makes it possible to define a topological notion of proximity between concepts. Consequently, the developped algorithms can take advantage of this feature to guide their research through the knowledge network.

The internship will cover the following aspects:

• Proposal and implementation in C++ of new algorithms that reinforce the cognitive aspects of
the memory, particularly by providing new modes of reasoning.
• Enhancement of the system’s knowledge.
• Non-regression testing.

Environnement

The internship will take place within our R&D team, localized in a warm and friendly open space of the 11th district of Paris.

Artificial Intelligence, Knowledge representation, Graph theory, Machine learning, Planning, Probability, Statistics, Commonsense reasoning, Natural language processing (NLP), Human-computer dialog, C++

Cognitive algorithms for symbolic learning

6 Months AI Internship in Paris

Cognitive algorithms for symbolic learning

Description of the project

The internship is part of the design of learning mechanisms inspired by human functioning. During this internship, the work will focus on the creation of a causal model of the world usable by an agent in its decisions. The goal is for the agent to understand the world around it and the consequences of its actions in a fully automatic way with a minimum of initial knowledge and cognitive processes.

Description of the subject

An agent evolves in a 3D environment (Minecraft). It has no knowledge about its surroundings except:

• the list of entities described by the game: position, orientation and bounding boxes,
• the list of controls allowing to trigger actions (Z, Q, S, D, mouse left button, mouse right button, mouse move)
• its own states: health, hunger.

From the agent's observations, it must build a model of the world allowing it to act in a coherent way. Initially this will consist of understanding the controls (press Z to move in the direction of its orientation), then evolve into a more general understanding of its environment, how it works and how it can interact with it (eat to reduce hunger, avoid fire, etc.).

The internship will focus on the following aspects:

Proposal and implementation in C++ of algorithms to perform the requested learning. This implementation will be done within an already functional Minecraft client.

Environnement

The internship will take place within our R&D team, localized in a warm and friendly open space of the 11th district of Paris.
