About The Role

Role Overview

Location: Pulchowk, Lalitpur, Nepal (In office/Hybrid)
Duration: 3 Months
Type: Internship (with Research or Junior Engineer Progression)
Focus: Building a high-fidelity Neurosymbolic knowledge base from thousands of government-validated agricultural PDFs to support decision-making for international stakeholders (FAO, WFP, IFAD).

Key Responsibilities

Advanced Document Parsing: Implement extraction pipelines using Docling and PyTesseract to convert complex, scanned Nepali government documents into structured Markdown while preserving tables and hierarchical headings.
Knowledge Engineering: Design and implement algorithms to explicitly extract Subject-Predicate-Object (SPO) triples (e.g., Jumli Marshi -> hasAttribute -> Cold Tolerance) from unstructured Devanagari text.
Linguistic Processing: Utilize NLP libraries such as Stanza or spaCy for Nepali dependency parsing to identify grammatical relationships and improve the accuracy of triple extraction in low-resource settings.
Semantic Mapping & Linking:



Map extracted agricultural entities to global standards like AGROVOC or Wikidata to ensure interoperability and resolve synonyms across different ministry reports.
GraphRAG Implementation: Assist in developing a GraphRAG (Graph-based Retrieval-Augmented Generation) architecture that enables multi-hop reasoning over the knowledge graph to answer complex agricultural queries.
Data Validation & Oversight: Participate in "human-in-the-loop" validation sessions to refine the knowledge graph's accuracy, ensuring the system meets the high verification standards of national agricultural ministries.

Requirements

Technical Requirements

AI Stack: Strong Python skills with experience in NLP frameworks (Transformers, spaCy, or NLTK).
OCR & Extraction: Hands-on experience with Tesseract and digital document parsers; familiarity with handling Devanagari script or non-Unicode fonts (e.g., Preeti) is a plus.
Graph Technologies: Basic understanding of Gr
