Large language models (LLMs) have a high potential for analyzing, recognizing, and validating scanned documents. However, they are mainly focused on the OCR text and do not take into account visual aspects, such as layout, illustrations, etc. that are of fundamental importance for document understanding. The successful candidate will perform basic research and develop novel methods for efficient integration of visual aspects into LLMs for document understanding. A particular focus will be to obtain explainable results with respect to both visual and textual contents of the documents.

Gathered within a collaborative project funded by the NPR, three IT companies and three institutions from HES-SO are collaborating with Richemont, Groupe E, and Groupe E Celsius to explore optimization potentials in buildings using data science and artificial intelligence.
iCoSys is excited to participate in Alliance’s brainstorming event focused on predictive maintenance with AI. Predictive maintenance is crucial for companies across various industries to prevent financial losses caused by equipment breakdowns or premature replacements. This approach relies on data analysis and artificial intelligence can play a pivotal role. The event on September 28 will feature discussions among industry peers and academic institutions on the automatic collection and management of relevant data for effective predictive maintenance. Additionally, Prof. Dr. Jean Hennebert will deliver a talk on the remaining research challenges in this field.
