Research Scientist Intern, AI Core Machine Learning

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.

Research Scientist Intern, AI Core Machine Learning (PhD) 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.

• Experience working and communicating cross functionally in a team environment

About Meta:

Meta builds technologies that help people connect, find communities, and grow businesses. When Facebook launched in 2004, it changed the way people connect. Apps like Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp further empowered billions around the world. Now, Meta is moving beyond 2D screens toward immersive experiences like augmented and virtual reality to help build the next evolution in social technology. People who choose to build their careers by building with us at Meta help shape a future that will take us beyond what digital connection makes possible today—beyond the constraints of screens, the limits of distance, and even the rules of physics.
