Research Intern

Business UnitWhat the Role EntailsWe are seeking highly motivated Research Interns to work on cutting-edge problems in multimodal foundation models and multimodal agents. The intern will contribute to advancing models that understand, generate, and act across multiple modalities (e.g., vision, language, video, audio, and GUI environments), with applications in embodied intelligence, computer-use agents, and world models. You will collaborate closely with a team of researchers and engineers to design novel algorithms, build large-scale training pipelines, and publish at top venues (e.g., CVPR, ICCV, NeurIPS, ICLR, ACL). Responsibilities - Conduct original research on multimodal foundation models or multimodal agents - Implement and experiment with large-scale models (training, fine-tuning, evaluation) - Design new model architectures, objectives, or data pipelines - Work with large multimodal datasets (image, video, text, UI trajectories, etc.) - Contribute to papers, technical reports, and open-source projects - Collaborate with cross-functional teams on research prototypesWho We Look ForCurrently pursuing a PhD or Master’s in Computer Science, AI, Machine Learning, or related fields Strong background in deep learning and machine learning fundamentals Solid programming skills in Python and PyTorch/JAX Experience with at least one of: - Vision–language models - Large language models - Video understanding/generation - Reinforcement learning or imitation learning - Strong problem-solving and research skills Publications at top conferences (CVPR, ICCV, NeurIPS, ICLR, ACL, etc.) Experience training large models or working with distributed systems Experience with multimodal datasets and evaluation benchmarks Familiarity with: - Transformer architectures and scaling laws - Multimodal alignment (contrastive learning, instruction tuning) - Agent training (RLHF/RLAIF, planning, tool use) - Synthetic data generation or simulation environments - Experience with long-context training or memory mechanismsEqual Employment Opportunity at Tencent
