Internship - Data Scientist (F/H) - April 2025 - 6 months

Posizione

Join us at LVMH, the world leader in luxury goods, where over 75 exceptional Maisons produce high-quality products across five major luxury sectors: Wines & Spirits, Fashion & Leather Goods, Perfumes & Cosmetics, Watches & Jewelry, and Selective Retailing. With over 213,000 employees globally and revenues of 86.2 billion euros in 2023, LVMH offers a dynamic environment for growth and innovation.

As part of the LVMH House team, your mission will be to design and develop Learning, Innovation, and Transformation solutions to address Business, Leadership, and New Ways of Working challenges. Join our international team and contribute to strategic projects in the field of Learning & Development.

Internship Title: Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback on Large Language Models and Autonomous Agents

The LVMH Data Science department, a global leader in luxury, develops Artificial Intelligence algorithms for the Group’s Maisons. As a pioneer in the luxury sector, LVMH is committed to delivering an exceptional client experience, where AI plays an increasingly significant role in personalization, efficiency, and innovation. The "Human-Centered AI" approach is critical to ensuring that developed technologies respect human values and enhance client interactions. Integrating human perspectives into these systems ensures that AI amplifies human skills rather than replacing them.

Within this framework, Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) is a key focus area. Methods such as DPO (Direct Preference Optimization) have already been explored to align our models' behavior with human expectations and values.

LVMH now aims to push this further by improving Large Language Model (LLM) pipelines, particularly Chain-of-Thought (CoT) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), as well as Autonomous Agents, using human feedback. A key challenge involves leveraging global feedback on overall generated results and reassigning relevant information to optimize the models. This requires applying advanced RL techniques to effectively connect feedback with precise adjustments.
