Field(s) of activity for the internship
Topic of the internship: AI-Driven Document Integrity Validation Development

The internship project involves developing a model capable of offline operation, which can recognize marking labels and document metadata across all pages and determine whether the analyzed document complies with the documentation requirements.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Create an offline artificial intelligence model to evaluate document compliance with requirements;
- Understand needs for deploying tools in an IT environment, including classified one;
- Learn the limitations of handling classified information.
