Job Summary

InterDigital is looking for self-motivated students to work closely with their scientists/engineers on machine vision tasks. The prospective candidates are expected to conduct original research on critical technologies towards AR/VR, autonomous driving, robotic navigation, etc. Scientific publications would be encouraged. The duration of the internship may vary between 3-6 months. Ph.D. students with a strong background in signal processing and/or machine learning are highly encouraged to apply.

As a popular data format for AR/VR, culture heritage and modeling, mapping, and navigation systems, point clouds face challenges in real-time processing, scale of data amount, as well as its sparsity and irregularity. It is an exciting research area to understand the 3D world especially via point clouds acquired by LiDAR sensors.

Together with the excellent research team at InterDigital, the research work during internship would potentially have both academic and industrial impacts in point cloud learning / processing.

Skills:

• Research background in machine learning, deep learning, or computer vision would be highly appreciated.
• Research background in signal processing, image processing, graph based data analysis would be appreciated.
• Experiences in one of the fields would be a great plus: variational autoencoder, flow prediction, optimal transport.
• Experiences in point cloud processing/compression, especially on large scale point clouds.
• Python/C++ programming, familiar with prevailing learning frameworks, e.g., TensorFlow or PyTorch.
• Ability to wrap up technical reports and/or to prepare draft manuscripts for publications.
• Capable of independent research while being a great team player.
