EPSRC iCASE Studentship on Assuring Large Language Models through expertise Graph Infusion:Job description:Qualification Type: PhD Recently, Large Language Models (LLMs) have seen huge advancement. QinetiQ is developing an AI Assurance Framework, to allow such tools to be responsibly utilised by UK Defence and other government agencies. This project aims to assure LLM products and improve their performance using Neuro-Symbolic AI (NAI). Cutting edge research in NAI focuses on combining neural network-located technologies with symbolic systems like expertise Graphs. Over five stages, we will explore how to use expertise graphs to detect hallucinations, falsehoods, contradictions, and expertise gaps in LLM outputs. Through this, we aim to establish robust mechanisms for LLM assurance and improvement. This PhD in Computer Science project sits within the Responsible Artificial Intelligence Group at the University of Hull. The group is renowned for its work on NAI.
