  • Multimodal Data: Handling and integrating text, image, video, and other data
  • Model Optimization and Efficiency: Inference efficiency, model benchmarking, optimization techniques

You should also have experience programming in at least one programming language (Python or C/C++) and developing ML models using common frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, Keras) and training on GPUs. Great communication skills, both oral and written, are also essential.

We offer a personalized experience for interns, and our aim is to offer an experience that mimics what it is like to actually work here. We match qualified interns with projects and groups based on interests and skill sets, and fully embed interns within those groups for the summer.

We approach diversity and inclusion seriously and thoughtfully.
