Pre-doctoral position

AI Automation

Ref. 2024_005

The IBM Research Laboratory, together with ETH Zurich is recruiting a highly motivated Doctorate Candidate (DC) funded by the MSCA project Bridgitise (Bridge Digitalised Integrity Management).

Project Description

Robots such as SPOT and Unitree A1 have reached outstanding performance in mobility. However, utilization of such devices is still limited in practical visual inspection applications, due to the lack of standardization and automation in processing of images and videos captured with such devices. The Doctorate Candidate will work towards automating the visual inspection pipeline for these robots to be fully operational.

At IBM Research the Doctorate Candidate will develop AI algorithms to automate the creation of new domain-specific models using the Robots, as well as automate the domain adaptation process, utilizing Large Vision Models (LVMs). Among other activities, the Doctorate Candidate will study how to automate the selection of relevant frames from long sequence of videos, use self-supervised pipelines to build reusable models with nonannotated data, or interactive visual-language prompting techniques to fine-tune the models.

At ETH the Doctorate Candidate will port the AI models on the robot and experiment with multi-modal data collection modalities (e.g., infrared, thermal hyperspectral images).

In addition, the student will spend a few months at Politecnico di Milano to experiment on real applications supporting data acquisition for the development of the models as well as the validation of the results.

We envision the student will spend 2/3 of the time at IBM Research, 1/3 at ETH Zurich and a few months at Politecnico di Milano.

Why do your PhD at IBM Research

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.
