Cupertino, CA 95014
About the Job
SummaryPosted: Role Number:200554814The AIML Information Intelligence team is creating groundbreaking technology for artificial intelligence, machine learning and natural language processing! The features we create are redefining how hundreds of millions of people use their computers and mobile devices to search and find what they are looking for
Our universal search engine powers search features across a variety of Apple products, including Siri, Spotlight, Safari, Messages and Lookup
We also develop state-of-the-art generative AI technologies based on Large Language Models to power innovative features in both Apple’s devices and services on the cloud
As part of this group, you will be doing large scale machine learning and deep learning to improve Open Domain Question Answering and developing fundamental building blocks needed for Artificial Intelligence
This involves developing sophisticated machine learning and large language models (LLMs) to understand user queries, retrieve and rank relevant documents across multiple sources and synthesize information across documents to provide user with a direct answer that best satisfies their intent and information seeking needs
You will also work with researchers and data scientists to develop, fine-tune, and evaluate domain specific Large Language Models for various tasks and applications in Apple’s AI powered products and conduct applied research to transfer the cutting edge research in generative AI to production ready technologies.DescriptionAs a member of our fast-paced group, you’ll have the unique and rewarding opportunity to shape upcoming products from Apple
We are looking for people with excellent applied machine learning experience and solid engineering skills in creating outstanding question answering service
This role will have the following responsibilities:
-Analyzing search ranking and relevance requirements, issues and opportunities
