Master Thesis in Causal Machine Learning
About this role
Your tasks
Causal reasoning is one of the main challenges in AI and a core task in many scientific and engineering disciplines. Accurate causal models enable robust behavior in Out-of-Distribution scenarios, which is essential for reliable inferences and Root-Cause-Analysis in real-world applications. However, traditional causal models are often computationally intractable, limiting their scalability to high-dimensional data and complex scenarios. To address these limitations, this master thesis will explore the combination of Large Language Model (LLM) agents with data-driven causal reasoning. The goal is to develop scalable and mathematically sound methods for Causal Machine Learning.
- During your thesis you will study and implement new scalable methods within Causal Machine Learning.
- You will collaborate with a global research team specialized in Causal Discovery, Causal Inference, and Root-Cause-Analysis.
- Ideally, your contribution will be part of a scientific publication and will have a real impact on Bosch use-cases.
Your profile
- Education: Master studies in the field of Computer Science, Mathematics, Data Science, Statistics, Physics or comparable
- Experience and Knowledge: strong programming skills in Python; solid mathematical skills; prior knowledge in Graphical Models is preferable
- Personality and Working Practice: you excel at staying motivated in your tasks, communicating effectively with team members, and collaborating as a team player
- Languages: very good in English
