En tant que stagiaire au CEA, vous aurez l’opportunité de travailler au sein d’un environnement de recherche de renommée mondiale. Nos équipes sont composées d’experts passionnés et dédiés, offrant un cadre propice à l’apprentissage et à la collaboration. Vous aurez accès à des équipements de pointe et à des ressources de recherche de premier ordre pour mener à bien vos missions.

Description du poste :

Au sein du laboratoire des signaux et systèmes de capteurs vous travaillerez avec une équipe de 10 chercheurs.

L’apprentissage basée sur les données (apprentissage machine/machine learning) a révolutionné une grande variété de domaines. Par rapport à d’autres algorithmes de type systèmes experts, basés sur la connaissance, ils ont montré leur capacité à réaliser des tâches complexes (détection d’objets, traduction, synthèse de texte). Néanmoins, entraîner ces modèles nécessite une quantité importante de données, notamment s’il s’agit de réseaux de neurones profonds (deep learning). Par exemple, ChatGPT a été entraîné sur plusieurs centaines de GB.

Que faire pour d’autres tâches pour lesquelles les données d’entraînement sont difficiles ou couteuses à acquérir ? Ou qu’elles ne suffisent pas ? Depuis quelques années, un nouveau paradigme émerge, celui de combiner ces données à une connaissance a priori. En effet, on dispose souvent de connaissances sur la tâche, qui ne sont pas contenues dans les données d’entraînement. On sait par exemple que la sortie du modèle est toujours positive, qu’elle doit respecter la physique, etc. Ajouter cette connaissance permettrait d’atteindre les mêmes performances avec moins de données d’entrainement ou d’obtenir un modèle plus performant. Une des manière d’ajouter cette connaissance a connu un réel engouement : les réseaux de neurone informés par la physique ou physics-informed neural networks (PINNs). Cette méthode permet d’obtenir une solution qui respecte les données d’entrainement et également une équation physique.

Votre stage consistera à appliquer cette méthode dans le cas de la déformation d’une poutre métallique. Pour cela, plusieurs bases de données d’entrainement (expérimentales et synthétiques) ont déjà été acquises. Le laboratoire a également créé artificiellement des défauts sur cette poutre, qu’il faudra localiser.
Vous devrez pour cela :

1.       Réaliser une étude bibliographique sur les PINNs
2.       Appréhender et mettre en forme les bases de données
3.       Entraîner un premier réseau de neurones classique
4.       Entraîner un réseau de neurone informé par la physique
5.       Analyser vos résultats et éventuellement rédiger une publication
Durant tout votre stage, une attention particulière sera portée à l’organisation de votre code, le suivi de versions et sa documentation, ainsi qu’à l’analyse critique des résultats obtenus pour différents paramètres des algorithmes.


Moyens / Méthodes / Logiciels

Python, Git, modules pandas & pytorch, équations aux dérivées partielles, recherche bibliographique


Profil du candidat

Qu’attendons-nous de vous ?

Vous préparez un diplôme de niveau Master 2 en université ou 3ème année d’école d’ingénieur, dans les disciplines suivantes : informatique, mathématiques, télécommunications.

Vous êtes passionné par la recherche scientifique et technologique et êtes reconnu pour votre rigueur, votre curiosité et votre d’enthousiasme pour résoudre des problèmes ouverts.

Vous possédez des connaissances en machine learning et deep learning et disposez idéalement d’une première expérience dans ces domaines. Toute expérience antérieure dans le domaine de la recherche sera valorisée, notamment la lecture d’articles scientifiques.

Thesis background/subject 

Overloading transformers (over 150MVA – 500MVA) beyond its design capacity or designing transformers for higher capacity than needed are common practices within the wind industry. Decisions related to both options depend on several factors like the repair time, probability of failure, etc. ​ Additionally, there is also an impact on the revenue and transformer’s lifetime.​

This thesis consists of:

  • Conducting a literature review.
  • Developing a standard overloading cycle from examples in IEC60853 & IEC 60076-7.
  • Making an excel or python-based tool to calculate the impact of Transformer overloading on temperature rises (for example use annex B & C of IEC 60076-7).
  • Providing an assessment of CAPEX (considering weight aspects) Vs revenue loss.

Based on the thesis results, we will be able to operate wind farm transformers more efficiently and reduce the loss in revenue. Also, our decision-making process will benefit from a better understanding of the costs and benefits of overloading transformers. In this way, we will favor the optimization of wind farms business cases, which will have positive effects on the energy transition.

Objective/Purpose

The ultimate goal is to gain understanding of the benefits and impacts of transformer overloading.

What’s Your Definition Of An AI Agent? | by Cobus Greyling | Oct, 2024


About 18 months ago I wrote my first article on AI Agents. It was based on AI Agent frameworks created by LangChain. Fast Forward to the last few weeks, and AI Agents are in the news like RAG was a few months ago.

And this prompts a question with me, what defines an AI Agent, and what is required to delivery enterprise ready Agentic Implementations?

The Basics

Considering the graphic above, an AI Agent can be defined as a piece of software, with one or more Language Models as its backbone.

For the model to have visual capabilities a Language Model / Foundation Model with vision capabilities is a requirement.

Task Decomposition

An agent at this stage primarily has a conversational input approach, hence unstructured data is used for user input.

And the response from the AI Agent is also most often in natural language, leveraging the Natural Language Generation (NLG) capabilities of Language Models.

I often use this example, you should be able to ask an AI Agent, the following question:

What is the square root of the year of birth of the man commonly regarded as the father of the iPhone.

This is a very hard question for any traditional Conversational UI to answer, but for an AI Agent it is easy.

Way Of Work

The AI Agent starts of by decomposing this compound and slightly ambiguous question into sub-steps, and then sets of solving for each of these sub-sets or steps.

Each of these steps can be seen or considered as an action.

Agents leverage LLMs to make a decision on which Action to take next.

After an Action is completed, the Agent enters the Observation step.

From the Observation step, the AI Agent shares a Thought; if a final answer is not reached, the AI Agent cycles back to another Action in order to move closer to a Final Answer.

The level of autonomy of an AI Agent is determined by the number of iterations the AI Agent can go through. This is important from a cost perspective, overhead and latency.

Secondly, if the AI Agent is unable to reach a conclusion or solve a task, one of the tools (we’ll look at tools in a bit) at the AI Agent’s disposal can be a human which can be pinged for guidance.

Number of tools at the disposal of the AI Agent is another determining factor in terms of the AI Agent’s autonomy.

Tools can be considered as integration points or touch points to external systems or API’s. The number and nature of tools at the disposal of the AI Agent really determines what the AI Agent is capable of.

Tools are described in natural language, and can range from a web search API, OS GUI navigation, maths library, weather API, CRM integration, etc. etc.

As the AI Agent decomposes a problem into sub-steps or actions, solving for each of these actions or steps will most probably involve the use of a tool.

Considering the image below, it is evident the level of observeabiltty which can be achieved with regards the internal workings of AI Agents. Notice how the AI Agent steps through the Thought, Action, Observation, and so on.
