Les missions du poste
Il apporte des solutions concrètes à leurs besoins dans quatre domaines principaux : transition énergétique, transition numérique, technologies pour la médecine du futur, défense et sécurité sur un socle de recherche fondamentale. Le CEA s'engage depuis plus de 75 ans au service de la souveraineté scientifique, technologique et industrielle de la France et de l'Europe pour un présent et un avenir mieux maîtrisés et plus sûrs.
Implanté au coeur des territoires équipés de très grandes infrastructures de recherche, le CEA dispose d'un large éventail de partenaires académiques et industriels en France, en Europe et à l'international.
Les 20 000 collaboratrices et collaborateurs du CEA partagent trois valeurs fondamentales :
- La conscience des responsabilités
- La coopération
- La curiosité
As an intern at the CEA, you will have the opportunity to work in a world-renowned research environment. Our teams consist of passionate and dedicated experts, providing an environment conducive to learning and collaboration. You will have access to state-of-the-art equipment and top-tier research resources to carry out your assignments. The work performed may potentially lead to a scientific publication.
Context:
This internship aims to understand how training a network toward low rank changes what it costs to quantize its factors, using the team's closed-form price of rounding both to explain the effect and to act on it. It combines matrix analysis with controlled experiments on language models, to:
What do we expect from you?
- Measure what low-rank preparation does to a model's compressibility, by factorization and by quantization, against an unprepared model and against quantization alone, at equal memory.
- Explain it: what the preparation changes in the factors, read through the closed-form price, and whether the price predicts the measured cost.
- Use the price to propose and test an improvement.
The internship may lead to a PhD starting in October 2027.
