Research Scientist Intern, AI Core Machine Learning (PhD)

We are committed to advancing the field of artificial intelligence by making fundamental advances in technologies to help interact with and understand our world. We are seeking individuals passionate in areas such as deep learning, computer vision, audio and speech processing, natural language processing, machine learning, reinforcement learning, computational statistics, signal processing, information retrieval, and applied mathematics. Our interns have an opportunity to make core algorithmic advances and apply their ideas at an unprecedented scale.

Our internships are twelve (12) to twenty-four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year.

Responsibilities

Develop novel state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms and corresponding systems, leveraging various deep learning techniques. Analyze and improve efficiency, scalability, and stability of corresponding deployed algorithms. Perform state of the art research to advance the science and technology of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. Devise better data-driven models for information retrieval, Multi-modal fusion, generation or media understanding (CV, NLP, Speech/ Audio). Collaborate with researchers and cross-functional partners including communicating research plans, progress, and results. Contribute to research that can be applied to Meta product development.
