Applied Science Student Researcher – Machine Learning, Large Language Models, and Multimodal AI- Research Lab

Introduction

At IBM work is more than a job - it's a calling: To build. To design. To code. To consult. To think along with clients and sell. To make markets. To invent. To collaborate. Not just to do something better, but to attempt things you've never thought possible. Are you ready to lead in this new era of technology and solve some of the world's most challenging problems? If so, let's talk.

Your Role And Responsibilities

Are you a student passionate about advancing AI technology and exploring innovative applications in generative AI, deep learning, and large language models (LLMs)?

Join our team at IBM Research, where we tackle exciting challenges in AI to drive impactful solutions and develop cutting-edge models and algorithms that shape the future of technology.

As a student researcher, you will work with a dynamic team on cutting-edge AI challenges. Your focus will include advancing Multimodal Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to integrate diverse data modalities, leveraging large language models (LLMs) for document understanding, and transforming unstructured data into structured formats. Additionally, you will design and train custom AI models. This role offers hands-on experience across diverse AI domains and provides an excellent opportunity to explore and contribute to various facets of AI research and application development.

Key Focus Areas Of The Team
