Research Scientist Intern, Large Language Model Inference (PhD)

Meta AI, a world-class research lab, is seeking Research Interns to join our research teams to work on challenging problems that would require strong research and engineering skills to achieve a deep understanding of the problems, develop innovative approaches, and scale up with massive data and compute. Our efforts are to push the bar in the following research directions: Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing, Speech Recognition, Reinforcement Learning & Reasoning, Core Machine Learning, AI for Science, AI for Math, and Game AI. We are proposing Summer, Fall, and Winter start dates. Internships will be awarded on a rolling basis and candidates are encouraged to apply early.To learn more about our research, visit https://research.facebook.com.

Research Scientist Intern, Large Language Model Inference (PhD) Responsibilities:
