Job Description
Are you looking for an opportunity to explore how machine learning systems can continuously evolve while maintaining up to date knowledge? In this thesis, you will dive into the challenges of agentic systems, where growing context sizes drive up training costs, and focus on improving their working memory and token efficiency while applying common LLM models in continually learning and practice-oriented settings.
You will begin your thesis by conducting a comprehensive literature review on memory in agents, analyzing existing benchmark implementations, datasets, and methods to build a deep understanding of the field while also exploring the domain of continual learning.
Building on this foundation, you will adapt existing benchmarks or implement your own for Bosch-related use cases. In this context, you will write code to apply LLMs in an agentic setting, with a particular focus on agent memory.
Based on these insights, you will derive and implement methods aimed at improving the memory of continually learning agentic systems.
Finally, you will rigorously evaluate the performance of the developed approaches on standard academic benchmarks as well as Bosch use cases, while you will analyze scalability, robustness, and deployment potential.
You will carry out all of these tasks within a tight project timeline, with your results strongly encouraged to be submitted to major upcoming machine learning conferences, while performing effectively under deadline driven time pressure is mandatory.
