PhD Studentship in the Centre of Data Innovation Research -

Scholarship Background

Apply for PhD Studentship in the Centre of Data Innovation Research. Large language models (LLMs) are a popular subject of interest in academic and non-academic AI research. They exhibit great potential in revolutionizing efficiency across various industries, and as these models grow, we may witness intriguing ’emergent’ patterns that could result in new benefits and uses. C

ChatGPT is a tool that has sparked global interest and triggered a new surge in AI development. Nonetheless, existing training methods rely solely on statistics and do not incorporate semantic and grammatical details that could be crucial for efficiency and understanding.

In this project, you will handle this problem. You will learn and investigate how a categorical method can be applied in the training of LLMs. You have to aim to create strategies to improve these models’ ability to capture human language accurately.

The chosen candidate will be a part of the Centre of Data Innovation Research. They will work with the Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (MTP) research group. CoDIR is an innovative new centre for research that merges knowledge in mathematics, theoretical physics, astrophysics, and computer science.
