About the Job

Requirements

  • Currently pursuing a BAC+5 qualification at an engineering school or university in computer science and seeking a six-month internship.
  • Coursework or training in knowledge-based artificial intelligence, particularly knowledge representation, reasoning, or decision support.
  • Knowledge of constraint programming and ability to understand its principles and applications.
  • Knowledge of combinatorial optimization and complex problem solving.
  • Comfort with algorithmic approaches for modeling and solving optimization problems.
  • Rigor in analysis, formalization, and execution of work.
  • Strong writing and communication skills to explain technical concepts clearly to different audiences.

Responsibilities

  • Learn the CLAIRE language and the two added kernels with team support, and become familiar with the engagement-planning source code written in CLAIRE/ECLAIR/ToOLS.
  • Develop knowledge of the air-defense domain, particularly engagement planning.
  • Identify and isolate the heuristics used in the source code.
  • Implement the heuristics in Python or Julia so they operate independently of the constraint solver.
  • Compare the resulting solutions and computation times with those from the native engagement-planning system.
  • Compare the isolated heuristics with other heuristics being developed concurrently for the project's engagement-planning problem.
  • Deliver an autonomous Python or Julia algorithm incorporating the engagement-planning heuristics and operating without a constraint solver.
