About the job

We are seeking motivated interns to join our Machine Learning Research Engineering team in Berlin for a 12-24 week full-time, in-person program. You will have the opportunity to significantly improve search quality by developing and optimizing large-scale deep learning models. This role involves conducting cutting-edge research in representation learning and building advanced RAG pipelines.

Responsibilities

  • Advance search quality through models, data, tools, or other available leverage.
  • Train and optimize large-scale deep learning models using frameworks like PyTorch, employing distributed training and hardware acceleration for retrieval and ranking models.
  • Conduct research in representation learning, including contrastive learning, multilingual, evaluation, and multimodal modeling for search and retrieval.
  • Build and optimize RAG pipelines for grounding and answer generation.

Requirements

  • Understanding of search and retrieval systems, including quality evaluation principles and metrics.
  • Strong proficiency with PyTorch, including experience in distributed training techniques and performance optimization for large models.
  • Interest in representation learning, including contrastive learning, dense & sparse vector representations, representation fusion, cross-lingual representation alignment, training data optimization, and robust evaluation.
  • Publication record in AI/ML conferences or workshops (e.g., NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL, EMNLP, SIGIR).
