Lab Summary: Samsung AI Research Center (SAIC) located in Mountain View, California, is currently recruiting outstanding research interns for the Vision Intelligence lab. Our goal is to perform long-term research with potential for direct impact on future Samsung products reaching hundreds of millions of users worldwide. We are focused on pushing the state-of-the-art in multimodal understanding, generation, editing, long-term planning and tool use. Our team is dedicated to developing state-of-the-art generative AI models with a focus on diffusion models and multimodal content generation. We aim to advance foundational AI research and achieve groundbreaking results in image generation, video generation, and 3D generation.
Position Summary: We are looking for Fall Interns (Flexible 3–6 months between September-December). Interns will work on one or more of the following cutting-edge areas:
- 3D consistent and user-controllable video generation– Creating algorithms to ensure temporal and spatial coherence in generated videos, with interactive user controls [1,2]. This will involve coming up with architectures and algorithms that ensures plausible physics being correctly represented by generative models.
- 3D scene reconstruction– Advancing techniques for generating high-quality, structured 3D environments from images, or video inputs. This project will involve efficient [3,4] and accurate scene reconstruction [5,6] while utilizing limited number of images or video sequence.
- Efficient and accurate inference of diffusion models– Developing novel techniques to accelerate inference while maintaining generation quality of date (images and videos). This will involve coming up with novel algorithms [7, 8], architectures [9] and paradigms allowing faster inference/training of diffusion models.
Interns will have the opportunity to propose ideas for the projects and lead the research that at least roughly follow the topics mentioned above.
Position Responsibilities:
- Conduct research in deep learning and generative AI, focusing on foundational models for image, video, and 3D generation
- Develop novel architectures and optimization techniques for diffusion models and related generative approaches
- Implement and experiment with scalable AI models on large-scale datasets using high-performance computing resources
- Collaborate with a world-class team of researchers and engineers, with opportunities to publish in top AI conferences
Required Skills:
- Currently pursuing a PhD or Master’s degree in Computer Science, AI, Machine Learning, or a related field
- Strong background in deep learning, diffusion models, and generative AI
- Experience with PyTorch, and familiarity with large-scale model training
- Passion for pushing the boundaries of AI research and solving complex challenges
Special Attributes:
- Strong publication record in top AI/ML conferences (e.g., NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, ICCV, ICLR, SIGGRAPH) is a plus
