Goal(s)

This UE is an introduction to Conversational Generative AI. The objectives are:

  • Understand the main concepts, issues and applications of conversational generative AI in industrial engineering
  • Understand the main technical principles of conversational generative AI (natural language processing operations, architectures, LLM, prompting) and their limitations
  • Be able to adapt a generic LLM for an industrial engineering application
  • Be able to design and evaluate human-conversational generative AI interactions for industrial engineering tasks

Content(s)

Introduction, uses, and technologies:

  • 1CM: Learn about the challenges and applications of conversational generative AI in industrial engineering:
    -- What is a generative model?
    -- What are the use cases in industrial engineering?
    -- What are the main considerations? Cost, resources, infrastructure, bias, liability, etc.

    Understand the main principles of conversational generative AI (natural language processing operations, architectures, LLM, prompting) and their limitations:
  • 1CM: LLM + Architectures + Prompt engineering
    -- What is a Large Language Model?
    -- LLMs: BERT, GPT, Llama, Mistral, etc.
    -- Transformer
    -- Training + Fine-tuning (LoRA, QLoRA)
    -- Structure, zero-/one-/few-/multi-shot, chain-of-thought, prompt iteration
    -- ...
  • 1TP : NLP basics (tokenization, stemming, lematization, sentence splitting, NER, stop words removal, vector space model, bag of words, word embeddings)
  • 1 TP : Prompt engineering

    Be able to adapt a generic LLM for an industrial engineering application:
  • 1CM: tuning techniques: few shots learning, RAG, graphRAG, fine tuning, etc.
  • 3TP: application of tuning techniques

    Designing and evaluating human-IA conversational interactions for industrial engineering tasks:
  • 1CM: Design and evaluation of conversational generative human-IA interaction
  • 1TP: Evaluation of conversational generative human-IA interaction

Prerequisites

Students will have taken and validated the following courses: Probability and Statistics; Programming with R

Test

    The following weighting of grades is compatible with distance exams

    Session 1:
    - N1 = 0.5 x CC1 + 0.5 x ET1

    Session 2:
    - N2 = 0.5 x CC1 + 0.5 x ET2

    Cette pondération est compatible avec une organisation des enseignements et des examens en distanciel

    Session 1:
    - N1 = 0.5 x CC1 + 0.5 x ET1

    Session 2:
    - N2 = 0.5 x CC1 + 0.5 x ET2

    Calendar

    The course exists in the following branches:

    • Curriculum - Engineer student Master SCM - Semester 7
    • Curriculum - Engineer student Master PD - Semester 7
    see the course schedule for 2025-2026
