Source documents include scientific publications, as well as internal documents. Many of these documents include images, tables, and equations, which are not directly accessible to be indexed in a language-based embedding.

• You are a student in computer science or similar, and you are at least in your penultimate year of undergraduate study (minimum 4 semesters)
• You have experience running a large language model locally, or you use an API to access a cloud-based LLM
• You are an open-minded person who enjoys working in an international team
