Research Scientist Intern, Audio-Visual Conversation Scene Generation (PhD)
Meta· Computer Vision
Redmond, WA$7.7k/mo - $12.7k/moInternPosted 1w ago
About the role
Internship at Meta Reality Labs Research focusing on generating realistic audio-visual multi-person conversation scenes with controllable 3D layout and egocentric camera trajectories. Aims to produce data for training audio-visual models and evaluating realism, synchronization, and pose consistency.
Responsibilities
- Design and train video diffusion or flow-matching models for multi-person conversation scenes, generating audio and video together.
- Develop ways to condition generation on 3D layout, group structure and egocentric camera trajectory.
- Keep each person's identity consistent across frames and viewpoints, from one or several reference images.
- Model natural conversational behavior: speech-driven faces and gestures, gaze, turn-taking and listener reactions.
- Build evaluations for realism, audio-visual sync, identity consistency, and how closely the generated 3D positions and poses match the specified ones.
- Use the generated data to train downstream egocentric perception models, and measure how much it helps.
- Publish results at top venues together with Meta researchers.
Qualifications
- Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining, a PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Machine Learning or a related field
- Research experience in generative modeling for video or images, with first-author publications at venues such as CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, NeurIPS, ICLR or SIGGRAPH
- Hands-on experience training or fine-tuning modern video diffusion or flow-matching models (e.g. DiT-based architectures), including conditioning methods such as adapters, ControlNet or LoRA
- Experience with controllable generation from geometric or structural signals: camera pose, 3D layout, depth or human pose
- Solid grounding in 3D vision: camera models, multi-view geometry and coordinate transforms
- 3+ years experience with Python, Matlab, Pytorch, large-scale distributed GPU training or similar
- Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire, and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment
