Internship Research Topic
Title : Research on neural architecture search methods

We are developing technologies to automate the design of deep neural network architectures, also known as NAS (Nerual Architecture Search). In particular, the optimally designed architecture considering computing resources such as network size or inference time is expected to be an essential technology for realizing edge-computing systems. You will carry out fundamental research on advanced machine-learning approaches which may become key technologies for realizing NAS. The key technologies could be not only deep learning but also graph theory or Bayesian statistics.
The goal is to build a strong technology for Toshiba’s business in the field of robotics, infrastructure, and self-driving cars.
