Reality Labs (RL) teams are looking for exceptional interns to help us create next generation interaction technologies for virtual and augmented reality. Join a full-stack team working on computer vision, machine learning, geometric and appearance modeling, physically-based modeling, sensor design and fusion, and human computer interaction. We are accepting applications from those interested in (but not limited to) the following areas: *Tracking of hands, bodies and objects and their interactions through machine learning, computer vision and sensor fusion *Egocentric human action recognition and emotion recognition *Hand motion sequence modeling for hand-object interaction using deep generative models or physical simulation *Representation modeling (e.g., implicit, appearance, geometry) of hands, bodies and objects for fast simulation and tracking *Efficient deep learning (e.g., neural architecture search, sparsity, quantized networks) *Interaction design for hands, bodies and objects in virtual reality and augmented reality *Sensor fusion (e.g. of pressure, RF, EXG, IMU) with optical tracking *Efficient and generalizable detectors for predicting keypoints, segmentations, normals, and depth *Accurate and efficient 3D representations of deformable shapes such as clothing and hair

Design and execution of algorithms in the domain of computer vision, machine learning, computer graphics, sensor fusion, or HCI software and hardware prototyping

Design of user studies and experiments

Collaboration with other researchers across various disciplines

Communication of research agenda, progress, and results

Minimum Qualifications

Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining, a PhD degree in EE/CS, Applied Math or a related STEM field

Experience in one or more of the following: computer vision (e.g. tracking, pose estimation, action/emotion recognition), computer graphics (e.g. appearance, geometry, physically-based modeling), robotics (state estimation, optimal control), machine learning (e.g. efficient deep learning, domain adaptation, transfer learning), natural language processing, or human-computer interaction
