The Rhine AI research group, led by Prof. I. Bogunovic in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Basel , is offering a PhD opportunity in the post-training of diffusion-based large language models (dLLMs). The SNSF-funded project, “Foundations of Post-Training for Reasoning in Diffusion Large Language Models,” investigates how post-training can improve the reasoning capabilities of dLLMs. These models represent an emerging alternative to standard autoregressive l...
