Master’s thesis, Semester project or Internship

Ref. 2023_010

The IBM Research Laboratory is located just 40 minutes away from ETH Zurich. This creates a fantastic opportunity for highly motivated ETH Student to join our unique research-corporate environment for a Master Thesis or a Semester Project.

The AI Automation team is looking for students that are interested to work in topics such as:

• Development of large computer vision Foundation Models for visual inspection
• Visual Prompt tuning and assisted annotation
• Generative AI for data augmentation using diffusion methods
• Adaptivity of instance segmentation models to different domains (e.g., different backgrounds, objects to detect, defect types) and environments (e.g., changing weather, time in the day).
• Improvement to state-of-the-art deep learning methods, ranging from supervised methods, self-supervised approaches, as well as fully unsupervised methods.
• Implementation of multi-stage computer vision pipelines into a managed service, accounting for execution performance, robustness (e.g., accounting for corner cases), etc.
• Automated measurement, point-cloud, 2D/3D navigation, as well as other topics!

A unique aspect of our projects is the opportunity to work on client data that are not available to the public and represent a big challenge even for the most successful state-of-the-art methods. As part of our team, you will collaborate with experienced Research Scientists and AI Software Engineers that will lead and help you to successfully complete the challenges of the proposed task. You will also have access to HPC and Cloud infrastructure equipped with recent variants of GPUs and many other resources and tools to perform the work. The technology created in our team is powering IBM mainstream products, such as Maximo Visual Inspection and soon WatsonX . We have successfully inspected the 3rd longest suspension bridge in the world - the Storebaelt . By automating and improving inspection of civil infrastructure, we make such infrastructures safer and at the same time we extend their lifetime expectation, thus reducing CO2 emissions caused by the use of concrete for major repairs, decommission of old structures, and construction of new ones.
