NVIDIA is searching for an outstanding researcher working on Large Language Model (LLM) research team. We are passionate about research that pushes boundaries but also has impact in the real world. We are particularly excited about methods for post-training and alignment, principled approaches to synthetic data generation and filtering, advanced reasoning and inference algorithms for LLMs, novel learning paradigms and LLM architectures, and scientific understanding about the fundamental limits and capabilities of LLMs. You will work within an amazing and collaborative research team that consistently publishes at the top venues in machine learning and natural language processing fields. Our existing expertise includes deep learning, NLP, computer vision. Your contributions have the chance to create real impact on our products.
What you'll be doing:
Explore alternative avenues to unlock new capabilities in language models, including advanced knowledge acquisition techniques and innovative learning and decoding algorithms.
Innovate new learning paradigms that incorporate agency into the training of language models, such as enabling self-reflection and targeted knowledge enhancement.
Enable learning from multi-modalities beyond written text, such as acquiring physical commonsense knowledge through interactions with real-world environments.
Publish original research.
Collaborate with other team members and teams.
Mentor interns.
Speak at conferences and events.
Work with product groups to transfer technology.
Collaborate with external researchers.
What we need to see:
PhD in Computer Science or Computer Engineering (or equivalent experience).
