Building Knowledge Graph RAG solution from Model Driven Engeneering – Part 1
Building Knowledge Graphs for RAG from Famix Models Large Language Models (LLMs) are impressively good at understanding code — but they also hallucinate. When reasoning about an unfamiliar codebase, an LLM can fabricate methods, classes, or relationships that don’t exist. This is a real problem when we ask them to help us navigate, understand, or modify software. The usual remedy is Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) : instead of relying only on what the model “remembers”, we
Berger-Levrault and CNRS sign a strategic partnership
We have been working for many years with the CNRS. Dozens of CIFRE theses and collaboration contracts have enabled us to explore a very wide range of potential in the fields of artificial intelligence, sustainable cities, advanced human-machine interaction, automatic language processing, etc. This relationship, which is dear to us, has enabled the group to
Active learning for intelligent document processing
Data is a key component of decision making. Today, companies deploy complex processes to automate the collection, storage and processing of large amounts of data. Most of this data is in the form of unstructured documents. Berger-Levrault’s software solutions handle documents of various natures: invoices, forms, etc. Unfortunately, this unstructured representation is difficult to exploit
What are Emergent Software Systems about?
Nowadays, due to the constant evolution of the software systems’ operating environment, modern software systems become increasingly complex and larger which makes their management and evolution difficult for a development team. These challenges pushed the IT (Information Technology) community to develop solutions that aim to assign the responsibilities of adaptation and decision-making to the software
BL.Assistant: Towards an Human-AI Teaming Platform
At work, you can have the best position ever (at least from your point-of-view), there are always boring and repetitive tasks to do that make you feel like you’re wasting your time. At Berger-Levrault, we aim to your life easier, that’s why we worked on BL.Assistant, a platform able to host AI-Based robots to assist
Towards measuring energy consumption of infrastructure architectural choices of web applications
Reducing our environmental footprint became a priority to save the planet. According to a recent Green IT study, the global environmental footprint of digital technology is equivalent to a continent two to three times the size of France and five times the weight of the French car fleet. Hardware manufacturers have been optimizing the efficiency
BL.OptiMAS: a Multi-Agent System-based model towards resolution of Routing and Scheduling Problem under uncertainties
Home care aims to provide appropriate health services to patients in the comfort of their home. This kind of services must be provided on a daily or weekly basis. To organize caregivers rounds, managers use predefined programs that specifies the cares services to be carried out, as well as the different resources allocated to each
Visualize your codebase with Moose
Developing an application is teamwork. It requires complementary skills to make it run smoothly. Though, bugs happened frequently and it’s not easy to read the code and all its interdependencies. So the easiest way would be to call your colleague who worked on it, but he has a flu and can not answer you. To
Pascal Zaragoza Ph.D. thesis defense: Model-driven migration of monolithic applications towards a microservice-oriented architecture
The passage to Cloud Computing fostered the development of new architectural styles to take advantage of its capabilities. The microservices oriented architecture (MSA) is the last style to emerge. This architecture is organized around small services focused on specifics business features, operating in independents processes and communicating through light interfaces. These features associated to cloud
RPA to automatically collect contacts over the web
To improve Berger-Levrault network, we work in collaboration with the sale department to collect the last news about DGS (Director General of Services) in France. The DGS is directly linked to the elected representative and insure the general coordination of services to implement municipality’s projects. This strategic position embodies the management of a regional government.When

Sophie de Thoré guest on Pari ETI on BFM Business: Innovation, Growth and Digital Transformation
The digital transformation of public and private organisations, business resilience in the face of economic change, and responsible innovation were the focus of discussions on the Pari ETI programme broadcast on BFM Business. On this occasion, Sophie de Thoré spoke on behalf of Berger-Levrault, alongside Jérôme de Lavergnolle (Saint Louis), Jean-Luc Gunéard (LPR) and Augustin
A New Milestone in Building a European AI Ecosystem for Industry
Last Friday marked a significant step forward for the European ecosystem of artificial intelligence applied to industry. After more than a year of close collaboration, the report resulting from the Franco-German dialogue on industrial AI was officially presented to French and German authorities during a dedicated forum held at the Ministry of Economy. This initiative,
