Austin, TX
About the Job
Our Company
At Teradata, we believe that people thrive when empowered with better information. That’s why we built the most complete cloud analytics and data platform for AI. By delivering harmonized data, trusted AI, and faster innovation, we uplift and empower our customers and our customers’ customers to make better, more confident decisions. The world’s top companies across every major industry trust Teradata to improve business performance, enrich customer experiences, and fully integrate data across the enterprise.
Our Internship Program
Our summer internship program lasts 10-12 weeks beginning in May/June and ending in August/September. We offer a fast-paced, flexible, fun environment where you will have the opportunity to work on meaningful projects and face new challenges every day.
Location
Our program is fully virtual. Interns must remain in the US for the duration of the internship.
What You'll Do
+ Assist ongoing research by Senior Teradata staff into the integration of _Semantic Labeling_ of structured data with _Retrieval Augmented (query) Generation_ (RAG) tools.
+ We have an ongoing (three year) project that takes as its goal discovering "Semantics" (structure, rules, features) of a _Structured Data Corpus_ . The internship will be focused on using this _Semantic Map_ to automatically build a _Knowledge Graph_ which can then be used by the RAG tool sets to better support "Natural Language" data analysis.
There are three ways we will measure success in this project:
+ Product Impact - Teradata has a team dedicated to RAG work. We would like to (positively) impact their product development schedule.
+ Patent Impact - We would like to be able to submit Intellectual Disclosure Reports (IDRs) that Teradata can submit as Patents.
+ Paper Impact - We would like to be able to write up the results of the work for academic publication (SIGMOD, VLDB, etc)
Who You'll Work With
+ The team consists of Paul G. Brown (Teradata Engineering Fellow) to whom the intern will report, and a small number (one to two) of Teradata employees (TBD) working within the Research Group at Teradata. In addition to being focused on the _Knowledge Graph_ discovery, the project team will be working with the core Teradata Engineering Team responsible for the company's RAG features and functionality.
What Makes You a Qualified Candidate
+ Must be enrolled in BS/MS/PhD program, with a graduation date between December 2025-June 2027
+ Background of study and interest in the use of _Generative AI Methods_ in support of data analysis (RAG).
+ Familiarity with _Knowledge Graphs_ and their applications in search / query / analysis, specifically in the context of _Structured Repositories_ .
+ That is, we're trying to address requirements for automatic support of RAG in the context of Structured Data Lakes, rather than bodies of unstructured text / images etc.
+ A technical skillset that includes Linux command line tools (sed, awk, bash), Python (Jupyter Notebooks), and SQL. In addition, we will be using git for project management / source code control.
+ Must be in the US for the duration of the internship.
What You’ll Bring
+ A "research" mindset ... we are not certain if and how what we plan to achieve is possible but we're convinced that we have a couple of good ideas to start with.
+ If you have experience with _Extensible SQL_ (writing and using User-Defined Extensions to a SQL DBMS) using 'C' / Java etc, that would be handy.
+ An appreciation of _Graph Theory_ would be of significant benefit.
Pay Rate: $29.00 - $44.00 - $50.00 Hourly
