Student assistant in the field of "Media Distribution and Security"

The Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Media Technology IDMT is part of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft. Headquartered on the campus of Technische Universität Ilmenau in Ilmenau, Thuringia, the institute is internationally recognized for its expertise in applied electroacoustics and audio engineering, AI-based signal analysis and machine learning, and data privacy and security. Under the motto 'Where AI means Audio Intelligence', the Ilmenau researchers are developing technologies for the robust and trustworthy AI-based analysis and classification of audio and video data. These technologies are used, among other things, to monitor industrial production processes, but also in traffic monitoring or in the media context, for example when it comes to automatic metadata extraction and audio manipulation detection. Another focus is the development of algorithms for the areas of virtual product development, intelligent actuator-sensor systems and audio for the automotive sector. There are currently around 120 employees working at Fraunhofer IDMT in Ilmenau.

The “Media Distribution and Security” (MDS) group conducts applied research in the context of media forensics, media security, privacy, and trustworthy AI. The developed technologies can be used for disinformation detection, media authentication and privacy-aware analysis and recommendation in a wide variety of application areas. In cooperation with other research groups at the institute, MDS also ensures that technologies for industrial and environmental sound analysis, automatic annotation of media data, and intelligent sensors are not only powerful, but also secure and trustworthy.
