Requirements

  • Deep understanding of deep learning principles and architectures (especially transformers)
  • Extensive experience with multimodal machine learning concepts and techniques (for example, different fusion methods for text and images)
  • Solid understanding of optimization techniques for large-scale models
  • Strong proficiency in Python and deep learning frameworks (PyTorch/TensorFlow) and model management libraries like HF Transformers
  • Experience with training large multimodal models with distributed training frameworks (for example, Horovod, MosaicML) and GPU fleet management
  • Strong understanding of knowledge representation concepts (for example, knowledge graphs, ontologies)
  • Experience with distributed training frameworks and cloud computing platforms (for example, GCP, Azure)

Responsibilities

  • Design and definition of the architecture of the LMMs, considering different fusion strategies and modality-specific processing
  • Implement, refine, benchmark and optimize model architectures using deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow
  • Develop and manage the end-to-end training pipelines, including data loading, preprocessing, and model training
  • Architect and deploy distributed training workflows, optimizing for performance across cloud GPU fleets
  • Implement distributed training strategies to handle large-scale datasets and models
  • Design and implement methods to fuse knowledge with the multimodal representations within the LMM
  • Experiment with different approaches to enhance the model's understanding and reasoning abilities through knowledge integration
  • Monitor and debug training processes, identifying and resolving performance bottlenecks
  • Collaborate with the knowledge integration engineer to ensure the architecture can accommodate knowledge injection mechanisms
