Connected cognitive systems drive innovation in many sectors, including mobility, healthcare, and automation in industry. Disruptive technologies such as artificial intelligence and quantum computing play a key role here. Fraunhofer IKS is conducting research to ensure that these applications are reliable and verifiably safe. We consider resilience and intelligence to be part of the same process.
What you will do
Machine learning techniques show promising results in visual quality inspection reducing the amount of tedious and error-prone manual work. The driving factor is the availability of large amounts of data. However, in this domain data is often sparse or labelling data is expensive. This requires approaches specifically tailored for these low-data applications that are reliable and robust against noise. You will support our team in developing reliable machine learning methods that can be applied to problems were few data is available.

* Interest in self-responsible scientific research and studying current ML methods
* Ability to work independently and in teams
* Good language skills in English
* Good communication skills
* Ability to be on-site approx. once per week
Especially suitable for students with the field of study in computer science, mathematics, engineering, or similar areas.
What you can expect
* Independent work and freedom to implement own ideas
* The possibility to publish your work
* Participation in a dynamic and innovative team
* Practical relevance to your studies
* Friendly working environment and flexible working hours
* The working time is set by arrangement.
