| In recent years, Generative AI has seen explosive growth, with Large Language Models (LLMs) reshaping how society and the economy interact with the digital world. These technologies enable tasks that were unimaginable just a few years ago—from machine translation and code generation to creative content generation and advanced reasoning —at unprecedented scale. The objective of the LLGA Master’s Program is to prepare students to become experts in this transformative field, with the skills to advance both theory and application. Equally important are graph-based data and models, which capture the structure of complex relationships in social networks, molecular structures, or logistics chains. Advances in Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) and Graph Representation Learning are unlocking insights and applications previously out of reach. Combining LLMs with graph-based methods enables multimodal generative AI, opening new opportunities in healthcare, finance, recommendation systems, and beyond. | In recent years, Generative AI has seen explosive growth, with Large Language Models (LLMs) reshaping how society and the economy interact with the digital world. These technologies enable tasks that were unimaginable just a few years ago—from machine translation and code generation to creative content generation and advanced reasoning—at unprecedented scale. Simultaneously, we face an increasing amounts of data that only make sense in the context of their networks, from large-scale social networks and power grids to microscopic proteins and molecules. Advances in graph-based models, such as Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) and graph representation learning, are unlocking insights and applications previously out of reach by capturing these complex structures. Combining LLMs with graph methods enables multimodal generative AI, opening new opportunities in healthcare, finance, recommendation systems, and beyond. |

| During the first year (M1), students build a strong academic basis through courses shared with engineering and other master’s programs at École Polytechnique. This year develops solid skills in mathematics, machine learning, and deep learning, while also introducing key domains such as Natural Language Processing and Graph Representation Learning. By the end of M1, students are equipped with the theoretical and methodological tools essential to pursue advanced AI studies. | During the first year (M1), students build a strong academic basis through courses shared with engineering and other master’s programs at École polytechnique.
