RAG pipeline for code

Flanders Make

Flanders Make is the strategic research centre for the manufacturing industry. Our mission is to strengthen the long-term international competitiveness of the Flemish manufacturing industry. That’s why we work together with SMEs and large companies on pre-competitive, industry-driven technological research, resulting in concrete product and production innovation in the vehicle industry, the manufacturing industry, and production environments.

Problem Context

Bringing new products into production requires a lot of preparation work of process engineers during which the product geometry and part list is analyzed and potential manufacturing or assembly issues are identified. This process requires a lot of expert knowledge and manual testing on physical prototypes. Daikin Europe N.V. Oostende has worked together with Flanders Make to develop a first prototype Design for Manufacturing and Assembly tool to support the process engineer with this complex analysis.

Goal of the internship

In this internship, you design a proof-of-concept RAG pipeline for code (e.g. Matlab or Python code). The RAG pipeline allows to create a chatbot to interrogate detailed information from the code. You test your proof-of-concept RAG pipeline on a manufacturing benchmark case to evaluate its effectiveness.

Learning targets

In this internship you will gain:

• Background in contemporary LLM techniques used in industry.
• Experience with the use of LLMs to extract information from source code.
• Experience with the application of LLMs on benchmark manufacturing data.

Profile Student

• Bachelor degree in computer science;
• (Some) Knowledge of language-based AI and/or experience with Python is highly recommended;
• Passionate by research and new technologies with focus on applications of AI within a company context;
• Result oriented, responsible and proactive;
• A good communicator, able to communicate in English;
• Eager to learn and a team player.

Only EEA (or Swiss) nationals can be accepted for internships due to work permit regulations.
