The Multimodal AI Internship.

The 4-month internship is designed for current PhD students and candidates to partner with Reality Defender's AI team to conduct cutting-edge research and publish peer-reviewed papers. Your primary collaborators will be Surya Koppisetti, who will guide and advise your efforts within multi-modal deepfake detection. This internship can be performed remotely, although you're welcome to work from our HQ in New York City.

What you'll do.

• Investigate and propose new methods for detecting generative AI content, spanning audio, audio-language, and/or audio-visual modalities

• Perform research on robust deepfake detection and reasoning tasks.

• Collaborate with researchers in the team.

• Write up results of research for internal reports and submission to top tier ML conferences.

• Independently implement and evaluate ideas on modern deep learning stack - Python, PyTorch, and GPU-enabled cloud compute, like AWS/GCP.

Who you are.

• PhD student in a relevant technical field, preferably three or more years into the program

• Experience in multi-modal learning, such as in audio-visual classification and audio-language reasoning.

• Proficient in Python and in building deep learning models with PyTorch.

• Published peer-reviewed research papers in reputable AI and speech venues, e.g. CVPR, NeurIPS, ACL, Interspeech.

• Write up results of research for internal reports and submission to top tier ML conferences.

• Excited about Reality Defender's mission to build a best-in-class and comprehensive deepfake and AI-generated content detection platform.

• Rolling intake, for a minimum internship duration of 4 months.
