- Education
- Ph.D. in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, or a closely related field.
About the job
Develops diffusion models and algorithms that generate coherent text-to-video content, validates them through experiments, and helps integrate research into production.
What you'll do
- Lead research and develop algorithms for text-to-video diffusion, improving visual quality, temporal consistency, and semantic fidelity.
- Design experiments, evaluate model performance, and collaborate to integrate research into production.
- Publish and contribute to open-source research, mentor junior researchers, and align research with product needs.
What they ask for
- Ph.D. in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, or a closely related field.
- Strong publication record in top-tier conferences, focused on generative models, particularly diffusion models.
- Extensive experience implementing and optimizing large-scale generative models for image or video tasks; deep understanding of text-to-image and text-to-video generation.
- Proficiency in Python and PyTorch or TensorFlow; excellent communication and collaborative skills.
Nice to have
- Postdoctoral or industrial research experience in generative AI for video; hands-on text-to-video project experience.
- Experience with GANs or VAEs, large-scale datasets and distributed computing, product technology transfers, video codecs, compression, perceptual quality metrics, or open-source contributions.
