Redefining user interaction with generative models for text generation on Apple platforms, aiming to enhance text input and intelligent interaction.
Requirements
- Strong machine learning fundamentals
- Knowledge of ML techniques such as implementing basic optimizers, applying parameter tuning in model training and evaluation, and reproducing research experiments
- Familiar with model compression algorithms including quantization, pruning, distillations, and experience on optimizing large diffusion models or language models
- Experience with hardware architecture, software & hardware co-design
- Experience with deploying large ML models in real world products
- Actively programming with high-quality codes across complex and large repositories
- Familiar with common NLP algorithms and applications, including tokenization, language modeling, text decoding, text classifier etc
Responsibilities
- Work with a hard-working and dedicated set of outstanding ML and software engineers on a wide range of most advanced text generation technologies such as context-augmented text rewriting, safety-controlled text composition, free-form text transformation, personalized smart interactions, etc.
- Own the NLP and ML text input stack for the keyboard input that includes auto correction, predictive typing on all Apple platforms.
- Work on full stack ML applied to NLP and expose these key technologies across Apple on device and also to third party applications through the Natural-Language framework.
- Go from building offline pioneering NLP models to optimization of the models for different hardware backends and user interfaces that make the experience magical.
- Achieve all of the above on device with powerful ML, strengthening Apple’s privacy policy.
- Implement basic optimizers, apply parameter tuning in model training and evaluation, and reproduce research experiments.
- Present plans, progress, and results or demos regularly and concisely.
