Student Researcher Intern (Edge Research Project for General Intelligence - Doubao Foundation Model Team (Seed)) - 2026 Start (PhD)

Description du poste:

To further support long-horizon and high-impact AI research, we are launching the Seed Edge Research Initiative. This initiative focuses on developing general intelligence models - models that possess human-like learning abilities, interaction capabilities, and tool-use proficiency. We encourage bold, long-term research with inherent uncertainty and cross-modal, interdisciplinary collaboration. Seed Edge provides a highly flexible research environment and long-cycle evaluation, enabling researchers to pursue transformative AI challenges. What You Will Work On By joining the Seed Edge initiative, you will collaborate with us to explore: 1. Explore novel intrinsic reward mechanisms to enable models to engage in autonomous learning and continual self-improvement; 2. Explore the development of long-term memory mechanisms to support the next generation of efficient reasoning models and long-sequence reasoning and modeling.; 3. Advance the boundaries of multimodal perception by developing scalable methods to extract knowledge from massive multimodal data with ultra-low signal-to-noise ratios, while building a solid foundation for multimodal fusion and unified modeling; 4. Study how models can use tools and develop visually grounded action capabilities, including new approaches to foundation modeling for full-modality agents and interactive learning in complex environments. We also welcome self-initiated research ideas - bring your vision and curiosity to help shape the future of general intelligence. As part of the application process, we encourage you to prepare a research presentation. We're looking forward to deep technical conversations with you
