Intern, ML Algorithms

Description

We are seeking interns with solid Computer Science, Machine Learning, Statistics, and Mathematics backgrounds who would be interested in exploring research directions in one of the following general domains:

(i) Large Language Models (LLMs) and Natural Language Processing (NLP)

(ii) Machine Learning (ML) Foundations—including in Architecture, Optimization, Graph Neural Networks (GNN), Multi-Modal Learning (MML), etc.

(iii) Reinforcement Learning (RL)

(iv) Automatic Design Space Exploration (DSE)

(v) Theoretical and/or Empirical Investigation of Statistical Learning Techniques

• Work with the machine learning (ML) team within our IC‑Lab to investigate, explore, develop and publish research results in machine and statistical learning in one of our focused or neighboring areas
• Investigate and explore cutting edge problems in domains such as long sequence processing and NLP, automatic design space exploration, reinforcement learning, computer vision, and multi‑modal representation learning.
• Help advance the theory and practice of machine and statistical learning and application through innovative research.
• Publish results in top machine learning conferences and/or journals.

• Knowledge of (deep) reinforcement learning, optimization, and search techniques.
• Knowledge of statistical learning—e.g., deep neural networks, sequence processing, graph neural networks, etc.
• Familiarity with ML life cycle, architectures, and model designs.
• Familiarity with ML implementation environments and platforms such as PyTorch and/or Tensorflow.
• Familiarity with distributed system processing, Linux and Python environments, source code management, and team development practices.
• Familiarity with large language models (LLMs) and Visual Language Models (VLMs) is a plus.

• Well‑organized, detail‑oriented, passionate about learning, motivated, and team player.
• Verbal and written communication skills.
• Ph.D. student in Computer Science, Machine/Statistical Learning, Computer Engineering, or closely related majors.

Hourly interns pay range: $18 to $59, depending on degree‑seeking academic program (PhD, Master’s, Bachelor’s, etc.), years of relevant experience, year in school, geographic location, credentials, qualifications, and other job‑related factors.

Housing allowance and relocation benefit might be provided to intern candidates who meet the qualifications. Additional details on the compensation package will be provided to candidates during the interview process.
