Please present your AI case in writing, addressing the following points:
- A brief introduction to the company or unit in which the work will be carried out
- A high-level problem description
- Description of the data and how it will be made available
- Potential challenges that you foresee when working on the data or another part of the thesis.
To suggest a project, please download and use our template here. Please submit one project description for each of your suggested theses, unless they are so closely linked together that they are best presented together. To be able to evaluate the project suggestions and find suitable supervisors at NTNU we ask you to submit your proposals before March 11, 2024. Approved project ideas for which we have allocated suitable supervisors will be made available to our students at NTNU.
Some useful information:
Our colleagues at SFI NorwAI have made this useful guidance document, detailing how to work with master's students. Note that some of the points are only applicable for the SFI-partners.
Most students work on their project and thesis over one academic year, however some only spend one semester. Please specify whether you prefer a student working on the thesis for 1 or 2 semesters when you suggest a project. The master's theses can be performed by individual students or in groups of two students.
Master's theses can be purely technical with implementation and experiments. They can address research challenges or applications of AI. We also welcome project proposals that study innovation aspects or methodological aspects of using AI.
We recommend that you assign one person who can follow up the student. This person should be updated on the problem that the student is trying to solve, however it is not necessary that they have extensive experience in AI.
It is up to you how much time and effort you invest in following up the student. However, we believe that the more you make yourself available for the student, the better the end result will turn out.
