[Exploratory] Research Tokyo Student Intern（Intern_TRL）【IBM Japan】

Introduction
At IBM work is more than a job – it’s a calling: To build. To design. To code. To consult. To think along with clients and sell. To make markets. To invent. To collaborate. Not just to do something better but to attempt things you’ve never thought possible. Are you ready to lead in this new era of technology and solve some of the world’s most challenging problems? If so lets talk.

Your Role and Responsibilities
This job position is for IBM Japan.

IBM Research conducts a wide range of research activities from basic research to real-world applications. One of our current basic research themes is “Game Theory and Machine Learning” which aims to expand the range of applications of strategic decision making traditionally studied in game theory by incorporating machine learning approaches.

We are seeking one internship student to accelerate this basic research on “Game Theory and Machine Learning”. The intern student will be expected to develop methods supported by theory and demonstrate their effectiveness through computational experiments. Therefore the applicants should have deep expertise in at least one of game theory and machine learning as well as an understanding of the other. Basic programming skills to implement a prototype of the proposed method is desirable but a high mathematical background is more important. Note that although this research project is motivated by real-world applications it does not provide experience in solving real-world problems with real data.
