AI Resident - Learning From Videos (LFV)
Job description
At Toyota Research Institute (TRI), we’re on a mission to improve the quality of human life. We’re developing new tools and capabilities to amplify the human experience. To lead this transformative shift in mobility, we’ve built a world-class team advancing the state of the art in AI, robotics, driving, and material sciences.
The Learning From Videos (LFV) team in the Robotics division focuses on the development of foundation models capable of leveraging large-scale multi-modal (RGB, depth, flow, semantics, bounding boxes, tactile, audio, etc) data from multiple domains (driving, robotics, indoors, outdoors, etc) to improve downstream task performance.
Our approach emphasizes training…
Job responsibilities
- Develop, integrate, and deploy algorithms for Multi-Modal and 4D reasoning targeting physical applications.
- Handle the ingestion of large-scale datasets for training, including streaming, online, and continual learning.
- Contribute innovative solutions at the intersection of machine learning, computer vision, and robotics to improve real-world task performance.
- Work closely with robotics and machine learning researchers and engineers to understand theoretical and practical needs.
- Follow best practices producing maintainable code, both for internal use as well as for open-sourcing to the scientific community.
- Contribute to research publications and technical reports.
Job requirements
- Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related technical field.
- Exceptional candidates with equivalent research experience (e.g., strong publication record, open-source contributions, or industry research experience) are encouraged to apply.
- Strong background in computer vision and its applications to robotics and embodied systems.
- Demonstrated research experience through publications, technical projects, or open-source contributions.
- Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset, with the ability to learn quickly and contribute to team research efforts.
- Passionate about assisting and amplifying older adults and those in need through dexterous manipulation, human-robot collaboration, and physical assistance innovation.
- Spatio-temporal (4D) computer vision, including multi-view geometry, 3D/4D reconstruction, video generation, self-supervised learning, occlusion reasoning, etc.
- Large-scale training of multi-modal deep learning methods, both in terms of dataset sizes and model complexity, context length extension, and efficient attention, distributed computing, etc.
