At SAP, we’re integrating state-of-the-art AI technology with our industry-specific data and deep process knowledge to innovate across SAP products & services. Large Language Models (LLMs) are transforming Machine Learning but pose challenges in business applications due to their limited understanding of structured and unstructured business data such as business data models, business process metadata and documentation, which slows the development progress. It is SAP’s mission to overcome this challenge within the realm of Business AI. Our goal is to provide Knowledge Graphs (KGs) as key differentiators to address LLM challenges like hallucination and compliance, as well as enable the development of the foundation models on structured data to deliver distinctive generative AI solutions to our customers.

The Role:

• Establish and manage research collaborations with academia, industry and commercial partners
• Contribute pioneering technical advances to the combination of knowledge graphs and large language models, including hands-on contributions to model code
• Enable academic research by providing Business AI relevant problem statements, frameworks and data sets
• Keep the pulse with the research, providing insights into the latest research findings and making them comparable with internal work
• Translate project innovations into research publications and contribute to thought leadership in large language models and Generative AI.
• Work closely with the knowledge graph team to exchange information and ensure that internal initiatives and project deliverables are aligned with community best practices.
