Applied Scientist, AGI Sensory Inference Science
DESCRIPTION
Our mission is to create best-in-class AI agents that seamlessly integrate multimodal inputs like speech, images, and video, enabling natural, empathetic, and adaptive interactions. We develop cutting-edge Large Language Models (LLMs) that leverage advanced architectures, cross-modal learning, interpretability, and responsible AI techniques to provide coherent, context-aware responses augmented by real-time knowledge retrieval.
We seek a talented Applied Scientist with expertise in LLMs, speech, audio, NLP, or multimodal learning to pioneer innovations in data simulation, representation, model pre-training/fine-tuning, generation, reasoning, retrieval, and evaluation. The ideal candidate will build scalable solutions for a variety of applications, such as streaming real-time conversational experiences, talking avatar interactions, customizable personalities, and conversational turn-taking. With a passion for pushing boundaries and rapid experimentation, you'll deliver high-impact solutions from research to customer-facing products and services.
Key job responsibilities
As an Applied Scientist, you'll leverage your expertise to research novel algorithms and modeling techniques to develop systems for real-world interactions with a focus on the speech modality. You'll develop neural efficiency algorithms, acquire and curate large, diverse datasets while ensuring privacy, creating robust evaluation metrics and test sets to comprehensively assess LLM performance. Integrating human-in-the-loop feedback, you'll iterate on data selection, sampling, and enhancement techniques to improve the core model performance. Your innovations will directly impact customers through new AI products and services.
