With over a billion people using the service and more than fifty offices around the globe, a career at Meta offers countless ways to make an impact in a fast growing organization.Meta's Core AI team is seeking a Research Scientist Intern with a focus on Multimodal and Generative AI. Our team is pioneering AI research across text, audio, and video domains, with a mission to develop AI-driven foundational models and their applications. We are committed to advancing state-of-the-art algorithms, promoting open research, and fostering scientific innovation in all aspects of AI for language, including language modeling, natural language understanding and generation, audiovisual learning, on-device/personalized LM, and multimodal applications.As a Research Scientist Intern, you will play a crucial role in developing cutting-edge models and algorithms in AI Research. We are seeking a candidate with expertise in vision, audio and multimodal learning. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in deep learning and general machine learning, coupled with a deep passion for computer vision and audio/speech processing. In this position, you will work with the domain experts to understand the challenges and build state-of-the-art foundational models to tackle them. Our internships are twelve (12) to twenty-four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year.

• Lead and contribute to cutting-edge foundation model research that leads to publications on top-tier CV/ML conferences
• Perform research to tackle unsolved real-world problems and push the state of the art in multimodal learning
• Independently design and implement algorithms, train advanced foundational models on large datasets, and evaluate their performance
• Define, plan and execute cutting-edge deep learning research to advance AR/VR experiences
• Develop novel deep learning techniques to achieve state-of-the-art accuracy within the constraints of on-device and real-time execution
• Collaborate with other research scientists and software engineers to develop innovative deep learning techniques for vision, audio, user interface and other use-cases
• Communicate the experimental results and the recommendations clearly, both within the group as well as to the cross-functional groups
