Meta was built to help people connect and share, and over the last decade our tools have played a critical part in changing how people around the world communicate with one another. 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 AI is seeking exceptional interns to join its User Understanding for Recommendations teams. These teams are a part of an AI Innovation Center for Recommendations, and collaborate closely with FAIR, other research teams (e.g. content understanding, core ML/ RL, etc.) as well as product teams for the Family of Apps (FB, IG, WhatsApp).
When you join our team, you are working to advance the state of the art in core disciplines such as: retrieval, ranking, clustering, search and multi-modal fusion problems, often in zero-shot/ few-shot settings, recommender systems, as well as graph learning. Together with product teams, we deploy these systems at scale to recommend the best, fresh and unconnected content to our users, by improving existing approaches and incubating novel capabilities.
The opportunities and challenges of this work are immense. Our work needs to demonstrate state-of-the-art performance on shared tasks where available, while being applicable at Meta scale, so that we can serve our customers.
Our team at Meta AI is offering internship opportunities with start dates throughout the year from May to September. To learn more about our research, visit https://ai.facebook.com.
