Position Summary
Technologies like generative AI have the potential to transform the lifestyles of consumers and the workflows of professional creators. Sony R&D is developing large-scale generative AI technologies for content generation and restoration.


This is called Sony generative AI, and is broken down into three categories: diffusion-based models, stochastic vector quantization techniques, and visual-and-language pre-training.

Sony generative AI is expected to become an integral part of the music, film, and gaming industries in the years ahead.

We at Sony R&D would like to make the most out of our unique opportunity to work directly with world-leading entertainment groups within those industries.

Demonstrations of media generation and restoration are available at

Our team is building a wide range of natural language processing technologies, deep generative AI, and vision-language pre-training. You will work on advanced research on natural language processing and deep learning (e.g., vision-language pre-training, multimodal LLM).

Responsibilities

Fundamental research in natural language processing such as vision-language pre-training, multimodal learning, multimodal LLM, music/video understanding, agent, reasoning, controllable generative modeling, deep generative models for discrete data, image/audio captioning, text-to-image/audio, commonsense knowledge graphs, large-scale data development, etc.

You will be responsible for a wide range of activities, including paper submissions to top conferences (e.g. ACL, EMNLP, NeurIPS, ICLR, CVPR, etc.), collaborative research with universities and/or business groups, deployment of developed technologies within Sony and/or to third-party products together with product teams, etc.


You will also contribute to improving the efficiency of content creation in Sony's studios for music, movies, and game services by delivering AI-assisted tools developed by R&D.

Required qualifications
All of the following criteria are required.
■ Master's degree in natural language processing, artificial intelligence, machine learning, or closely related areas OR equivalent practical experience.
■ 3 years of experience with Python, C/C++, and Linux/Unix.
■ 2 years of experience in machine learning fields and NLP, using common frameworks such as PyTorch and TensorFlow.
■ Research ability, as demonstrated by a track record of conference papers, open-source software, or other scientific activities.
■ Ability to speak and write in English fluently and idiomatically.
