The Situation:
Are you intrigued by the potential of large language models in revolutionizing the way we manage and disseminate knowledge? Do you want to be at the forefront of combining knowledge graphs with AI to create a more democratic, transparent, and efficient knowledge management system? If so, this thesis on decentralized knowledge management using large language models is for you!

Objective of the Thesis:
The thesis could explore various facets of decentralized knowledge management systems, such as the architecture involving knowledge graphs, the role of large language models like GPT-4 in content curation, retrieval, and generation, and the community governance models that could be applied. Research fields could include the development of a proof-of-concept platform, or exploring ethical considerations in automated knowledge curation. You’ll have the opportunity to work with experienced researchers in the fields of Information Systems and AI. The thesis could involve qualitative research (expert interviews, case studies), quantitative research (surveys, experiments), or (preferred) the development of an application/PoC.

About You:
You should
– have a strong interest in AI, and (may be even distributed systems), and a desire to contribute to cutting-edge research in these fields.
– be a self-starter who can work independently.
– be a communicative and open person.
– work in an accurate way.
– have scientific writing skills in English.

Experience with programming languages such Python for machine learning, or JavaScript for web development could be advantageous depending on the field of research and/or research method.

About Me:
I will offer you
– close supervision, with regular review meetings, feedback discussions, etc.
– the opportunity to start immediately, but the thesis should be completed within +- 6 months.
– the possibility of publishing your thesis (e.g., European Conference on Information Systems) as long as the results are worth publishing

Application:
If you are interested in this opportunity, please apply with the following documents:
– CV
– Transcript of records
– An estimated timeline for the thesis
– Max. 150-word motivation
