Student Master@IBM: AI techniques for data quality rules (m/w/x)

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 let’s talk.

Your Role and Responsibilities

What awaits you?
Welcome to the team. So that you can hit the ground running a structured onboarding process and a personal contact person will accompany you throughout the entire orientation phase. During your Master’s studies you will work on exciting national/international projects. If possible you will write your Master’s thesis in cooperation with your department. At IBM you will be a full member of one of our teams and will be able to establish valuable contacts in one of the largest global IT companies at an early stage.

These are your tasks
Enterprises can use IBM Knowledge Catalog to measure the quality of data ( e.g. completeness uniqueness etc. ) in their environments. On top of that users can define rules which data has to meet based on certain data quality metrics and can define specific service level agreements on combinations of those metrics for specific data. Today both rules and service level agreements are defined manually by the users. We are looking for motivated students to investigate and prototype applications of AI techniques ( machine learning large language models etc. ) to leverage existing rules and service level agreements manually created by users to generate additional rules and service level agreements.
