Language Model Alignment Research Internships

📖 Description

I'm [Ethan Perez](https://ethanperez.net/), a final year PhD student at NYU, working on aligning language models with human preferences. I'm looking to hire research interns to work on projects in this space, starting early 2022. I expect candidates to have strong software engineering ability, for ML engineering (e.g., to finetune GPT2 to good performance on a new task) or data engineering (e.g., to quickly find high quality subsets of text within petabytes of Common Crawl data). Ideal candidates will have experience doing ML and/or NLP research, reading papers, and coming up with ideas to test. I'm looking for people who'd be able to work full-time (remotely), with compensation of $70/hour. I expect each project to take 4-8 months to complete and lead to a first-author publication at a top-tier ML or NLP conference.
