Job Description

The goal of this master thesis is to explore innovative methodologies for enhancing the efficiency of deep neural networks in artificial intelligence applications, particularly in robotics and autonomous driving.

• During your thesis you will work on developing a temporal predictive extension of existing foundation models to identify and eliminate redundancy in temporal high-dimensional data, such as video streams. This approach aims to significantly reduce runtime inefficiencies associated with sequential computations, thereby streamlining the inference process and improving overall model performance.
• You will conduct a comprehensive literature review to understand current methodologies.
• Furthermore, you will design a novel model extension that incorporates temporal predictive capabilities, and you will implement training protocols to optimize the model's performance on temporal data.
• Finally, you will evaluate the model's efficiency in terms of computational and energy consumption and analyze the implications of the findings for real-time AI applications.

Qualifications

• Education: Master studies in the field of Natural Sciences and Engineering (like Computer Science, Math, Statistics, Physics, Cybernetics, Electrical Engineering) with very good grades
• Experience and Knowledge: strong knowledge and experience in Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Computer Vision, and Python (PyTorch)
• Personality and Working Practice: you excel at working independently and driving your own projects forward with strong intrinsic motivation
• Languages: fluent in English
