Research Scientist - FAIR

Meta is seeking a Research Scientist to join its Fundamental AI Research (FAIR) organization, focused on making significant advances in Developmental AI (DevAI). Current machine learning algorithms can match human performance in a variety of tasks but require orders of magnitude more data. DevAI aims at building AI agents that learn autonomously from few samples of real world data and interactions as children do. This covers the design of algorithms that leverage advanced machine learning techniques to improve robustness and sample efficiency, the building of datasets or simulators of ecological data, and benchmarks to compare how fast children and machines learn given similar input. The focus is on grounded language and communication. We publish groundbreaking papers and release frameworks/libraries that are widely used in the open-source community fostering the advancement of AI at its intersection with the study of natural intelligence. We seek researchers with expertise on AI, in particular multimodal modeling to join our research team to foster cutting-edge research in Developmental AI.
