Description:

ING is looking for graduates to strengthen the Artificial Intelligence capability of TECH/Group 
Services 


About ING
Think Forward! Our purpose is to empower people to stay a step ahead in life and in business. We 
are an industry recognized strong brand with positive recognition from customers in many countries, 
a strong financial position, omni-channel distribution strategy and international network. 
We believe that Artificial Intelligence is a key differentiator for improving products and services for 
our customers, but also we see opportunity to significantly optimize ING employee experiences using 
AI . 


Tech Group Services 
Tech is the provider of IT services for ING. Within Tech, the Group Services department is the team 
that delivers IT solutions and services for the employees of ING. In other words, we focus on software 
development and operations for the inner part of the bank. More and more we improve the 
employee experience with innovations based on AI technologies. 
Inoovation@GS is the vehicle for the innovation projects in Group Services. These innovation projects 
are short and intense and focus on delivery of working MVP’s in a 3-month period. For one of the 
Innovation projects looking for a graduate to strengthen a pop up squad . In particular if you are 
interested in Natural Language Generation techniques, we invite you to read on. 
 

The project
The NLG-Risk project aims to generate financial advice (eg towards management and ECB) based on 
analytical data. We intent to buy a commercial product for this particular use case. This could be a 
good option for the short run, but we also realize that this may not be the best strategy for the long 
run. So, next to a PoC with this commercial project we want to investigate possibility for a Bank Wide 
NLG solution that can be used for many different use cases that requires generation of financial 
documents. The team that works on this project is a so called pop up squad, a team that will be put 
together for this particular innovation project.
