Job description

  • The focus of this master's thesis is the investigation of meta learning techniques for fast model adaptation in low-data scenarios. This is especially relevant for reducing end of line commission times for high-mix low-volume systems.

  • You will support us in the field of data-driven modeling and identification of nonlinear dynamical systems.

  • You will familiarise yourself with state-of-the-art approaches in transfer learning and meta learning for system identification through a structured literature review.

  • Under the guidance of our researchers, you will re-implement and evaluate selected reference methods from current research (e.g. in Python or MATLAB) to build a solid methodological foundation.

  • With the support of our team, you will design and develop a simulation-based validation environment to assess the performance of the implemented methods.

  • You will analyse and compare the adaptability and efficiency of different approaches on nonlinear system identification tasks.

  • Optionally, you will apply and validate your methods on a real-world valve test bench to demonstrate practical applicability.

  • You may publish your results in a scientific journal and present them at a conference.

Requirements

  • Ongoing master's studies in the field of electronics, technical mathematics, technical Informatics, data science or a comparable technical field.
  • Enjoyment of application-oriented questions of industry
  • Good knowledge in Python or MATLAB
  • Good knowledge of machine learning
  • High level of commitment and team spirit
  • Very good English or German skills (spoken and written) - The thesis can be completed in either language

Benefits & conditions

  • EUR 616,44,-- gross per month for 12 hours/week based on the collective agreement. There will be additional company benefits.
  • A supportive research environment with extensive experience in supervising and guiding master's theses
  • Insights into interdisciplinary research at the intersection of machine learning, control engineering, and system identification
  • Training in scientific work and close collaboration with experts from mathematics, informatics and engineering
