(techniques: LLMs that generate and execute code, in-context learning, interactive learning with humans in the loop in real time, cognitive architectures)

Studying the impact of RL-based grounding on LLMs, Master 2 level internship co-supervised by Clément Romac, Thomas Carta and Pierre-Yves Oudeyer, located in Bordeaux (techniques: Deep RL for LLMs, testing world models, curiosity-driven exploration)

Studying the socio-cognitive abilities of LLMs, Master 2 level internship co-supervised by Grgur Kovac and Pierre-Yves Oudeyer, located in Bordeaux (techniques: Deep RL for LLMs, tests inspired by methods in psychology)

Emergence, control and open-ended evolution in cellular automata, Master 2 level internships supervised by Clément Moulin-Frier, Gautier Hamon, and Bert Chan, located in Bordeaux (techniques: differentiable cellular automata, curiosity-driven exploration algorithms, evolutionary processes)

We are also searching for internship applications for a cool project combining Lenia, foundations models/LLMs and autotelic curiosity-driven learning (but no precise description available here, send us an email :)) ! For this one, email Cedric Colas and Pierre-Yves Oudeyer (and using [application] in object/header of email).
