Internship at Reinforcement Learning and Robot Learning Groups at
FaceBook AI Research (FAIR), Menlo Park, CA
The Reinforcement Learning Group and Robot Learning Group at Facebook AI
Research (FAIR) at Menlo Park are looking for interns to work on a range
of problems in the areas of reinforcement learning, bandit algorithms,
deep learning, robot learning, and recommendation systems. The interns
will be supervised by researchers in the group who have excellent
publication record with dozens of papers at top-tier machine learning,
AI, and robotics conferences and journals in recent years. Our research
topics include:
*** Topics of Interest ***
- Reinforcement Learning (RL): Model-based RL, Hierarchical RL, Robust
RL, Safe RL, Risk-sensitive RL, Exploration in RL, Multi-task and
Transfer learning in RL, Multi-agent RL, Imitation and Apprenticeship
Learning, Simulation to real problem, Control with high-dimensional
observations
- Off-policy Evaluation and Causal Inference
- Multi-armed Bandits and Online Learning
- Personalized Recommendation / Large-scale Recommender Systems
- Real-time planning and control
- AutoML, Robust optimization, Bayesian optimization, and
multi-objective optimization
The internship will be in Menlo Park, California, at the heart of the
Silicon Valley. The duration of the internship is 12-16 weeks and it can
start any time from April 1, 2019. Candidates who pass the interview
will be mentored and work closely with one or more of the following FAIR
researchers:
Yuandong Tian (https://yuandong-tian.com)
Mohammad Ghavamzadeh (http://chercheurs.lille.inria.fr/~ghavamza)
Roberto Calandra (https://www.robertocalandra.com/about/)
Franziska Meier (https://am.is.tuebingen.mpg.de/person/fmeier)
Jakob Foerster (http://www.jakobfoerster.com )
Akshara Rai (http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~arai/)
*** Requirements ***
Eligible applicants can be at any level, however, especial preference
will be given to Master’s and Ph.D. students in Computer Science,
Statistics, Operations Research, Applied Mathematics or related fields,
with a strong background in AI, machine learning, and good programming
skills. We are particularly interested in candidates with prior exposure
to deep learning, optimization, statistics, reinforcement learning,
bandits, and scalable machine learning.
*** Application Submission ***
FAIR hires interns on a rolling basis, however for this call, we
strongly recommend the applicants to submit their application as soon as
possible and no later than January 15, 2019. The screening of the
candidates is done at a first-come-first-serve basis. No more
applications for this particular team will be accepted once the
positions are filled, though other teams within FAIR will continue
hiring on a rolling basis. The application should include a brief
description of the applicant’s research interests and past experience,
plus a CV that contains the degrees, GPAs, relevant publications, name
and contact information of up to two references, and other relevant
documents.
*** Meeting at NIPS-2018 ***
Yuandong Tian, Mohammad Ghavamzadeh, and Roberto Calandra are going to
be at NIPS-2018 in Montreal and will be able to meet with potential
candidates there.
