As its name suggests, AugmentIA explores the concept of "augmented humans," with the goal of leveraging advancements in artificial intelligence to enhance human capabilities in an ethical and responsible manner.
The project has three main objectives:
1. Mastering Large Multilingual and Multimodal Language Models. AugmentIA develops advanced tools tailored for industrial project management, facilitating tasks ranging from drafting bid documents to efficiently analyzing large volumes of unstructured data.
2. Unlocking the Potential of Generative AI: Cutting-edge technological solutions will be evaluated and implemented to optimize business processes. This includes addressing critical challenges such as reducing AI-generated hallucinations, ensuring compliance with ethical standards, and minimizing the environmental footprint of AI technologies.
3. Overcoming Technological Barriers The chair specifically addresses complex technical challenges, including multilingual data management and the customization of AI models to meet the unique requirements of the urban planning and construction sectors.
This ambitious three-year initiative, sponsored by Artelia and MIAI, underscores their shared commitment to revolutionizing industrial practices and developing innovative approaches to sustainable engineering.
ACTIVITIES
The AugmentIA Chair actively recruits talented researchers, Ph.D. students, and postdoctoral fellows through targeted calls and collaborations, emphasizing multidisciplinary skills in AI, linguistics, and engineering. Current activities focus on developing innovative methodologies for evaluating and improving large language models (LLMs), with a particular emphasis on addressing multilingual and multimodal challenges, benchmarking performance, and ensuring robustness and reliability for industrial applications.
CHAIR EVENTS
The official inauguration of the chair will take place on March 27, 2025.
