Job Description

**Description** We're looking for an LLM Research Scientist Intern. This intern will assist in the development and maintenance of interactive AI solutions. Collaborate with the AI, UI/UX, and development teams to identify the most effective user engagement to support the AI interactivity and user workflow. The position requires general machine learning and artificial intelligence knowledge of chatbots, virtual assistants, and recommendation engines. Additionally, the candidate will train LLMs to conduct summaries and respond to end-user prompts. The candidate should be familiar with creating models that understand user prompts and give dynamic responses based on the chain of thought or tree of thought as in a conversation. The candidate must be familiar with AI models that automatically understand and shift context based on user interaction flow. The training data will be instruction data that guides people in conducting AI governance. The candidate will train an LLM on the instructional material to illicit key points, descriptions, and summaries that instructional designers will combine to create instructional courses. Candidates must be experienced with handling multiple types of data (Text, image, video, audio, lidar, etc..), primarily related to large language models (LLMs)/Generative AI and using transformers.
