Company: Samsung Research America (SRA)

Lab: Artificial Intelligence Center

Location: Mountain View, CA

Position Summary:

The AI center at Samsung Research America (SRA), located in Mountain View, CA, is looking for an outstanding and highly self-motivated researcher/engineer. We are looking for candidates with machine learning and deep learning background. You will work with a team of research scientists and engineers tackling real-world problems involving Samsung’s Artificial Intelligence initiatives. You will be involved in very promising team projects with talented people at Samsung. You will benefit a lot by working in a fun and creative environment. The AI research center is a key part of Samsung’s global R&D effort and aims to have influence on future Samsung products reaching hundreds of millions of users worldwide.

Common Essential Duties & Responsibilities:

  • Develop and implement novel deep learning/reinforcement learning algorithms for a variety of artificial intelligence problems, including semantic understanding of multimodal data (visual+voice, sensor+voice, visual+sensor, etc.), natural language processing, visual understanding, audio and speech signal processing, etc.;
  • Apply machine learning algorithms onto various domains (e.g., AR, robotics, health, home);
  • Generate creative solutions (patents) and publish research results in top conferences (papers);

Background / Experience:

  • Experience in deep learning technologies on natural language processing (e.g., language modeling, semantic parsing, natural language generation, etc.);
  • Experience in deep learning technologies on computer vision (e.g., scene understanding, object detection, etc.);
  • Experience in machine learning, deep learning and digital signal on audio and speech processing (e.g., sound separation, sound denoising, automatic speech recognition, etc.);
  • Experience in multimodal deep learning technologies (e.g., multimodal representation learning and multimodal fusion network architecture design and architecture search, etc.);
  • Experience in deep learning technologies (e.g, Transformer, CNN, RNN, Seq2seq, etc.);
