Building Decarbonization Planning Applying Machine-learning Techniques to Building Data

In response to the escalating demand for clean tech and energy-efficient structures, our project focuses on revolutionizing building data processing for swift decarbonization planning. We tackle the challenge by parsing diverse data from mixed media documents and fine-tuning pre-trained large language models (LLMs) for optimal data query accuracy. Our approach integrates text parsing, tokenization, and […]

Prompt Privacy in the era of Large Language Models

In recent years, large language models (LLMs) have significantly impacted text-related tasks, including translation, code generation, and answering questions. However, due to their computational demands, these models are typically available only through closed doors-APIs, with opaque operations that obscure data usage. This creates privacy concerns for users who frequently engage with these models, as their […]

Timed-Aware Proof Assistant for ASTD, CCSL and Event-B

Le numérique est désormais omniprésent dans nos activités quotidiennes. Nombreuses de nos actions sont numérisées, analysées et assistées par un ordinateur. Or, nous produisons de plus en plus de logiciels et les bugs (ou souvent les défauts de spécification) sont largement sous-estimés. La tendance en effet et à produire des mises à jour (parfois quotidiennes, souvent hebdomadaires) plutôt […]

Benchmarking ML based navigation systems in video games

This project develops and benchmarks novel offline training algorithms for AI navigation in gaming environments. As such, it is intended to be a self-contained project. Traditional video game navigation heavily relies on navigation meshes (navmeshes) for pathfinding. Navmeshes offer a simplified representation of complex environments but face limitations in portraying nuanced navigation abilities, such as […]
