Image2Tikz: Enhancing Image-to-TikZ Code Generation via Large Language Models Knowledge Distillation

Work description
This thesis aims to develop Image2Tikz, a tool that uses neural networks to transform images into TikZ code by segmenting objects, estimating distances between them, and then translating this information into TikZ. Starting with simple TikZ images and progressing to more complex, hand-drawn versions, the tool will be refined to handle increasing noise levels and complexities. The performance will be evaluated by comparing the generated TikZ code against the original images.

The following questions should be considered:

How can neural networks be effectively trained for tikz object segmentation and distance estimation in images?
What techniques can be used to translate segmented objects and their relative distances into TikZ code?
How does the introduction of noise and complexity in images affect the tool’s accuracy and reliability?
What strategies can improve the tool’s performance on more complex, hand-drawn images?

Prerequisites
Candidates should have a strong foundation in machine learning, particularly in neural networks, with practical experience in Python and familiarity with PyTorch. Skills in image processing and an understanding of LaTeX, especially TikZ, are desirable. The ability to work independently and creatively solve problems is essential.

Please include your transcript of record with your application.

Machine Learning approach for hiring demand forecasting in Large Scale Organizations

In the field of human resources management, the ability to forecast hiring demand with precision is critical for optimizing workforce planning and talent acquisition strategies. As organizations become increasingly complex, traditional forecasting methods, such as simple time series models or heuristic approaches, often fall short of capturing the multifaceted nature of hiring dynamics. In large multinational corporations, forecasting hiring demand requires the consideration of various factors, including macroeconomic indicators, organizational structure, and workforce fluctuations. This thesis proposes the development of a sophisticated machine learning workflow to enhance the accuracy and reliability of hiring demand predictions.
