Internship Apple Machine Learning Engineer Jobs (NOW HIRING)

The AIML Information Intelligence team is creating groundbreaking technology for artificial intelligence, machine learning and natural language processing! The features we create are redefining how hundreds of millions of people use their computers and mobile devices to search and find what they are looking for. Our universal search engine powers search features across a variety of Apple products, including Siri, Spotlight, Safari, Messages and Lookup. We also develop state-of-the-art generative AI technologies based on Large Language Models to power innovative features in both Apple's devices and services on the cloud. As part of this group, you will be doing large scale machine learning and deep learning research and development to improve Open Domain Question Answering (using both structured knowledge graph data and unstructured web data) and Summarization as well as developing fundamental building blocks needed for Artificial Intelligence. This involves developing sophisticated machine learning and large language models (LLMs) to understand user queries, retrieve and rank relevant documents across multiple sources and synthesize information across documents to provide user with a direct answer that best satisfies their intent and information seeking needs. Additionally, you will research and develop the state-of-the-art LLMs for summarizing personal data such as emails, messages, and notifications. You will also work with researchers and data scientists to develop, fine-tune, and evaluate domain specific Large Language Models for various tasks and applications in Apple's AI powered products and conduct applied research to transfer the cutting edge research in generative AI to production ready technologies.
As a member of our fast-paced group, you'll have the unique and rewarding opportunity to shape upcoming products from Apple. We are looking for highly motivated machine learning engineers and researchers having strong machine learning and deep learning fundamentals with hands-on experience in fine-tuning deep learning and large language models. This role will have the following responsibilities: - Conduct research and development on state-of-the-art deep learning and large language models for various tasks and applications in Apple's AI-powered products - Developing, fine-tuning, and evaluating domain-specific Large Language Models for various NLP tasks including summarization, question answering, search relevance/ranking, entity linking and query understanding problems - Conducting applied research to transfer the cutting edge research in generative AI to production ready technologies - Understanding product requirements, translate them into modeling tasks and engineering tasks - Stay up to date with the latest advancements and research in deep learning and large language models
