Job description

Meta is seeking Research Interns to join our Text and Speech Machine Translation team in Paris and London. Our team is part of the Facebook AI Research (FAIR) organization within Meta, working to advance the state of the art in machine translation, and deploys these systems at scale to break down language barriers, enable people to understand and communicate with anyone, and to provide a safe experience—no matter what language they speak. The opportunities and challenges of this work are immense. Billions of people use our services to connect and communicate in their preferred language, but many of these languages lack traditional textual and speech resources and our systems need to be robust to the informal tone, slang and typos often found in daily communication. Our research spans multiple areas across machine learning, including deep learning/neural networks, machine translation, speech translation, natural language understanding and generation, language modeling, pretraining, low-resource NLP, question answering, dialogue, and cross-lingual and cross-domain transfer learning. As a Research Intern, you will help us apply cutting-edge algorithms to a wide range of machine translation challenges at Facebook.This is a 2023 internship opportunity with start dates from May to September.
