Internship: Multimodal Representation Learning

MERL is offering internship positions for PhD candidates interested in

audio-visual-language multimodal learning. The role involves

understanding the complex interplay between sound, visuals, and

language, aiming to drive next-generation AI applications. Interns will

work closely with a group of researchers at MERL to develop and

implement models, with an emphasis on integrating different sensory

modalities. Internships regularly lead to one or more publications in

top-tier venues, which can later become part of the intern''s doctoral

work. Ideal candidates are senior Ph.D. students in fields such as Audio

Machine Learning, Computer Vision, or Natural Language Processing.

Experience in multimodal learning is preferable. Good programming skills

in Python and knowledge of deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch are

essential. Multiple positions are available with flexible start date

(not just Spring/Summer but throughout 2024) and duration (typically 3-6

months).

Research Areas: Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Robotics, Speech & Audio
