Job Description

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.

Qualifications

• 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

Additional Information

Start: according to prior agreement
Duration: 6 months

Requirement for this thesis is the enrollment at university. Please attach your CV, transcript of records, examination regulations and if indicated a valid work and residence permit.
