Tokyo Sony InternshipSHIP

Technology Field

Natural Language Processing

Machine Learning

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.
