About The Position

Imagine what you could do here! At Apple, great ideas have a way of becoming great products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. Combining groundbreaking machine learning research with next-generation hardware, our teams take user experiences to the next level.Apple's AIML Residency is a year-long program inviting experts in various fields to apply their own domain expertise to innovate and build revolutionary machine learning and AI-based products and experiences. As AI-based solutions spread across fields, the need for domain experts to understand machine learning and apply their expertise in ML settings grows. Residents will have the opportunity to attend ML and AI courses, learn from an Apple mentor closely involved in their program, collaborate with fellow residents, gain hands-on experience working on high-impact projects, publish in premier academic conferences, and partner with Apple teams across hardware, software, and services. As part of Siri Agent Modeling team, Residents will be doing high-quality research on post-training multi-modal large language models using SFT and RL techniques (eg. using GRPO, etc.) to enable rich agentic experiences on Apple devices. A few sample work streams include - reinforcement learning for general tool-use, building/enhancing planning u0026 reasoning capabilities in LLMs, building/enhancing multimodal large language models for computer use. Residents will also have the flexibility to build product prototypes using the models we develop.Ideal candidates will also have academic, research, or industry experience in one of the following: Computer vision, Large Language Models / Generative AI, Machine Learning u0026 ML Research, Natural Language Processing/Speech/Conversational AI, Robotics, Reinforcement Learning, or Multimodal Large Language Models.
