Traditional Artificial Intelligence (AI) models particularly complex deep neural networks are often resource intensive demanding significant computational power and memory for both training and inference. This presents a considerable challenge to the deployment of such large models in real time or resource constrained environments which are often the case in aerospace applications.

This internship within the Central Research and Technology at Airbus in Ottobrunn / Taufkirchen therefore offers a unique opportunity to support a project focused on the application of Quantum-Inspired Methods for AI model Compression and Optimization. The internship will involve supporting the research team in exploring the theoretical benefits and practical implementation of techniques like Tensor Networks (TNs) for Vision model Optimization.
