• TLM: Bridge the Modality Gap between Transcriptome and Natural Language

  ---

  This thesis focuses on developing a Transcriptome-Language Model (TLM) to effectively bridge the modality gap between transcriptomic data and natural language text. You will explore advanced models for transcriptomic data representation, and cross-modal learning techniques aligning transcriptomic and textual modalities. This model will be evaluated in tasks such as zero-shot cell property classification and text ...

• SMART-LLM: Sensor-based Maintenance bot for Analysis and Retrieval of Time Series data using LLMs

  ---

  The goal of this thesis is to design, implement, and evaluate a sensor-based maintenance bot that uses Large Language Models (LLMs) to support predictive maintenance and decision-making. The bot should be capable of retrieving, analyzing, and reasoning over time series sensor data as well as unstructured maintenance-related documentation (e.g., technical manuals, incident reports). The result ...

• FAIRification of Data Models in Manufacturing

  ---

  In modern manufacturing, data plays a crucial role in optimizing processes, enhancing efficiency, and enabling interoperability across different systems. However, data models in manufacturing are often heterogeneous, proprietary, and lack standardization, making data sharing and integration challenging. The FAIR principles – Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability – provide a structured framework to improve data ...

• TEAMS: Tailoring Engagement and Alignment for MLOps Stakeholders

  ---

  The goal of this thesis is to investigate and define stakeholder engagement and involvement within the lifecycle of sensor-based MLOps. While MLOps principles streamline the deployment and maintenance of machine learning (ML) models, ensuring proper stakeholder involvement remains a challenge. Different stakeholders must collaborate effectively across various lifecycle stages to ensure model reliability, fairness, and ...

• Enhancing Fake News Detection using Multi-Agent LLM Frameworks

  ---

  The proliferation of misinformation and fake news on social media platforms poses a significant challenge in today’s digital age. Traditional automated fake news detection systems often struggle with the complexity of the task, lacking the ability to provide detailed explanations and interpret nuanced contextual information. This thesis explores the enhancement of fake news detection using Multi-Agent ...
