PhD student position in knowledge representation and reasoning techniques, Ulm (Germany)

BMW Car IT is offering a 3-year doctoral position starting from
February 2018 in cooperation with Prof. Dr. Birte Glimm the University
of Ulm.

BMW Car IT in Ulm is working on the development of the latest generation 
of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). These systems need 
anticipatory map data to create a representation of the road ahead. The 
data is transformed in a foresight by a component that needs to satisfy a 
set of requirements like the ability to easily incorporate and distribute 
new information, the possibility to infer and extract knowledge related to 
these data and the aptitude of offering a generic and abstract interface 
to extract this knowledge. The objective of this research is to address 
the challenges generated by the previous requirements by adopting a 
knowledge-oriented approach based on defining an ontological model to 
store, extract and distribute the map data to the ADAS functions.

Requirements:
- Advanced knowledge of Ontology Modelling and knowledge
representation techniques - Good knowledge about reasoning techniques
- Good programming skills in C++
- General knowledge of the Robot Operating System (ROS) is beneficial
- General knowledge of Machine Learning is beneficial -
Business-fluent English is required

For enquiries, please contact Prof. Dr. Birte Glimm at
