Summary:

The GenAI Speech team at Meta is currently looking for Research Scientist interns. Our team creates spoken language technology to make it faster and easier for people to build community and connect with others around the world. We conduct product-motivated research in ML/AI and design, develop and deploy state-of-the-art algorithms to the rest of Meta. We work in all aspects of AI for speech and audio processing, including speech recognition, speech synthesis, speaker identification, keyword spotting, noise robustness, multi-lingual systems, and speech with large language models (LLM). Our work powers voice interactions on AR/VR devices, such as Ray-Ban | Meta smart glasses and Quest 3 mixed-reality headsets, and video content understanding, including captioning and understanding of videos on Facebook and Instagram. As a Research Scientist Intern, you will help us develop innovative models and algorithms and apply them to large-scale production speech tasks.Our teams at Meta AI offer twelve (12) to twenty-four (24) weeks long internships and we have various start dates throughout the year. Internships are available in the Bay Area, CA and Seattle, WA
