Internship/Praktikum: EXTREME BLUE 2018: Cognitive Decision Support

Job description

EXTREME BLUE 2018: Cognitive Decision Support in an Insurance Domain Knowledge System

In this Extreme Blue Project the students will work together with IBM consultants and domain experts from the insurance industry to develop a text analytics solution, based on IBM Watson technology.

The domain experts in the insurance industry rely heavily on information saved in unstructured sources for their every day decisions. Examples for these sources are contracts, claims, medical data, assessments, expert reports, guidelines, news, and many more. The assessment of these amounts of data costs time and is a complex task due to the nature of the documents. We want to help the insurance experts with a self-learning solution.

The ambition is that Watson investigates the unstructured data and supports the decision maker. The team must create linguistic annotators in German language with a deep dive in domain specific language and feed a machine learning model with the extracted data. The solution will be a milestone in computer linguistics applied to real customer data of a leading insurance company in the DACH region.

Timeframe: Mid July to October 2018 (10-12 weeks)

In order to process your application quickly and effectively, we kindly ask you to provide the following information with attachments (.pdf please) where necessary :

- Copies of certificates and references where available (school termination certificates, university placement / internship / language certificates, references etc.)
- Your latest official transcript of records from your present study institution
- An official certificate of enrolment, declaring that you are registered as a student
- During which timeframe are you able to do the internship?
- In the light of your study regulations, is the placement you are applying for of mandatory nature (British term: 'university placement'; German term: 'Pflichtpraktikum), or is it of voluntary nature to you (is it a truly voluntary 'internship')?
- If it is a 'university placement' ('Pflichtpraktikum') for you, please provide the following:
- a copy of the section in your current study regulations ('Studien- und Prüfungsordnung') specifying the duration of the placement.
