Project: Graph RAG for Aerospace

Project GRACE (Graph RAG for Aerospace) aims to apply the newly emerging trend of Graph RAG to the field of Aerospace. It hopes to do so by applying the established techniques behind RAG to a bespoke knowledge graph of an Aero engine, such that the Aero components represent nodes in the graph and the connections represent edges.

The aim of this project is to test and validate the hypothesis that this approach is more effective than traditional RAG when applied to Aerospace, as it allows Engineers to ask more varied and complex Aerospace questions, obtain more reliable responses and provide increased transparency to the users regarding the logic the LLM followed to provide its response.

Another key part of this project will be to apply Domain adaptive pretraining (with a custom tokenizer) and supervised fine-tuning for question answering to a local LLM on a large corpus of Aerospace data and potentially test the increased efficacy of applying Graph RAG with the resulting model.

A high-level long-term goal is for this project to serve as a blueprint for how RAG and LLMs more generally could be applied within the Aerospace sector to many more aspects of their workflows.

Qualifications

Working towards a Master’s degree (last year) in:

• Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Science, Computer Science, with a preference for practical skills in NLP, LLM, Transformers, and/or Computer Vision.
• And/or full stack development (front end and back end).
• And/or Digital Twin / Digital Thread, in an engineering environment.
• And/or Robotic.

Skills:

• A strong level of Python programming, writing clean code, and testing thoroughly is essential.
• A high level of proficiency in LLMs and RAG would be highly advantageous.
• Knowledge of Graph RAG would be advantageous but not essential.
• Experience in one or more LLM frameworks such as Langchain, LlamaIndex or HuggingFace would be highly advantageous.
• Experience in Neo4j would also be advantageous. Knowledge of Aero engines would be nice to have but not essential.
• English level: C1 minimum

The ideal candidate is curious, positive, creative, collaborative, and looking to challenge themselves. We seek individuals who thrive in dynamic environments, embracing change and ambiguity while demonstrating readiness to contribute to impactful projects within cross-functional teams.

We also celebrate multiple approaches and points of view. We believe diversity drives innovation, so we are building a culture where difference is valued and encouraged.
