Student Summer Internship 2025 open for UoB students now! Deadline 26th of May 2025 (Monday)
Application form download
Project 1: 
AI-Driven Label Recognition in Real-World Settings (details in pdf)
Project 2: Text-Image Matching (Cross-Model Retrieval) in Computer Vision (details in pdf)
​How to apply and eligibility: see each project description file above. 
To fill in the form:
- HESA: 0110 (it is UoB ID)
- Reference: could be the lecturers who taught you before or your allocated personal tutor.
- Starting date: relatively flexible for me, as long as you give the 2-months duration over the summer. 

Fundamental machine learning of interest:

•Class imbalance learning, data augmentation
•Data stream learning, time series forecasting, continual learning
•Automated machine learning (AutoML)
•Distributed machine learning (Federated learning)

Machine learning in following application areas:

​•Sports data analysis (e.g. GPS data, performance and strategy analysis)
•Automated software engineering (e.g. software defect prediction)
•IoT (e.g. smart cities, energy consumption, environmental monitoring)
•Multi-modal, LLM-integrated applications

Potential project topics:
