About this internship:

You will be part of a high-growth software company. Our program is designed so interns can grow their skill sets, do meaningful work, and have a lot of fun along the way!

• Over the course of the internship, you will be exposed to a wide range of Cognira’s tools, techniques, and technologies and have the opportunity to gain credible experience and learning


• This internship will entirely be in-person for you to get an in-depth experience of the company's culture and be more involved throughout your tenure.


• Duration: 4-6 months.

We're looking for highly talented & motivated interns to join our Data Science team and nail one of the following projects: 

Project 1: Explainable AI (XAI) in Demand Forecasting.

Making machine learning models more interpretable and trustworthy for demand forecasting by applying explainable AI techniques. Use methods like SHAP (Shapley Additive Explanations) or LIME (Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations) to explain predictions made by simple and complex models (e.g., linear regression vs deep learning) to non-technical stakeholders.

Project 2: Integrating Semantic Similarity for Enhanced SKU Grouping and Detection

Past forecast assessments revealed cases where products appear suited for grouping under a new level, termed ‘super_SKUs.’ The current grouping method relies on time series patterns, but incorporating semantic understanding could improve accuracy and add valuable business insight.
This internship will explore adding semantic similarity metrics directly to the SKU detection process or as a post-processing validation step for ‘super_SKUs.’ This approach will leverage a language model, such as product embeddings from transactions, or involve fine-tuning an existing LLM architecture.
