M2 Internship "When resilient network design meets LLM"

This internship will take place at the LIA (Computer Science Lab) of Avignon University, located in the picturesque city of Avignon, in the south of France.

The Master’s intern will be supervised by two researchers at LIA:

One specializing in resilient network optimization

The other specializing in natural language processing (NLP)

This interdisciplinary collaboration will provide a unique opportunity to explore the intersection of network resilience, AI, and NLP.

A 6-month internship opportunity is available at the LIA (Computer Science Lab) of Avignon University, located in the south of France. This internship focuses on a cutting-edge topic in networking: resilient network design leveraging AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) (e.g., ChatGPT, DeepSeek, Mistral AI).

Objectives

1️⃣ LLMs for Automated Network Configuration: Investigate how LLMs can facilitate automatic network configuration to enhance resilience.
2️⃣ AI for Network Failure Detection: Collect and analyze real-world data from an existing lab testbed to explore failure identification techniques using LLMs and AI.
