Job Summary

The InterDigital Emerging Technologies Lab in Silicon Valley is looking for motivated Ph.D. and Master students for internships in Deep Learning for Image and Video Processing.

The Lab works on novel applications of AI and machine learning for video and wireless applications. You won’t spend your time tweaking an obscure part of an ad or a social network here. You will develop proof-of-concepts, prototypes and research ideas that tie machine learning and AI technologies with a broad range of video and wireless technologies. You will get the opportunity to publish your work at leading conferences. Some of our recent work includes novel approaches to compress and represent neural networks, platforms for automated development and testing of deep image compression (github.com/InterDigitalInc/CompressAI), and image/video/feature coding for machine-to-machine communication.

Come intern with us if you are interested in one of the following research areas.

• Deep learning-based video and image compression
• Deep learning-based image and video restoration
• Deep learning-based compression for multiple vision tasks
• Realistic Generative Adversarial Network
• Variable rate compression, reinforcement learning-based rate control
• Deep learning-based compression for video conferencing
• Deep learning-based privacy-aware image and video processing
• Real-time neural network inference

InterDigital leads the way in Video and Wireless Technologies

• Laser focused on research with more than 300 engineers and researchers
• We invent solutions for efficient wireless networks, better video delivery, and richer multimedia experiences – more than $1B invested in R&D efforts since 2000
