Master Thesis HW-SW-Co-Design - Efficient Convolutions for DNN Compression (f/m/x)
SOME IT WORKS. SOME CHANGES WHAT'S POSSIBLE.
SHARE YOUR PASSION.
More than 90% of automotive innovations are based on electronics and software. That's why creative freedom and lateral thinking are so important in the pursuit of truly novel solutions. And that’s why our experts will treat you as part of the team from day one, encourage you to bring your own ideas to the table – and give you the opportunity to really show what you can do.
We, the BMW Group, offer you an interesting and varied Master thesis in the area of efficient numerical design for convolutional neural networks and deployment paths on diverse target hardware.
In recent years, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have been the preferred architecture for vision-based tasks such as classification, semantic segmentation, and object detection. Deploying the networks to multiple devices suffers from a number of challenges, such as numerics (quantization), computational efficiency (no of operations, latency, realtime capability), and contention with other workloads. To overcome thes challenges, innovative means of neural network compression and neural architecture search need to be combined in cross-layer systems optimization.
What awaits you?
- Research state-of-the-art CNN compression tecchniques.
- Gain practical AI experience by implementing a novel method of quantization and pruning.
- Utilize our cutting-edge training infrastructure to conduct experiments and evaluate your approach efficiently.
- Present the thesis results using the scientific method, both in written and oral formats.
- Collaborate with an experienced team that has published at international peer-reviewed conferences.
- Engage with an international and diverse team at the Autonomous Driving Campus in Unterschleißheim.
Please note that your thesis must be supervised by a university on your part.
What should you bring along?
- You are a master student approaching the end of your degree in computer science or related fields with focus on machine learning or artificial intelligence.
