Meta was built to help people connect and share, and over the last decade our tools have played a critical part in changing how people around the world communicate with one another. With over a billion people using the service and more than fifty offices around the globe, a career at Meta offers countless ways to make an impact in a fast growing organization. Meta is seeking Research Interns to join our Feed Recommendation team within Facebook. This org is directly in charge of recommending all sorts of contents to users the time they open the app, and thus always gets the first-hand experience of critical pain points to solve. Our interns will have the opportunity to participate in the process of framing practical, high-impact challenges in recommendation into rigorous machine learning problems, and bring their own expertise to build innovative solutions under the guidance from our research scientists and software engineers. More concretely, while the generative AI innovations in NLP are mainly focusing on optimizing the probabilities of selecting the next word token, in recommendation the vocabulary (contents to suggest) is at a much larger scale and also changing at a fast speed. The preference for these contents can also vary dramatically across users and time. If you’re excited about how to generate the correct sequences of “words” any time the giant number of Facebook users open or scroll down the blue app, come to join us! Our internships are twelve (12) to sixteen (16), or twenty-four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year.
