Research Scientist Intern – TikTok Recommendation(NextGen LLM) - Global Frontier Tech Recruitment Program - 2027 Start (PhD)

关于这个机会

We are looking for talented individuals to join us for an internship. PhD internships at Our Company provide students with the opportunity to actively contribute to our products and research, as well as to the organization's future plans and emerging technologies. Our dynamic internship experience blends hands-on learning, enriching community-building and professional development events, and collaboration with industry experts. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, so we encourage you to apply early. Please clearly state your availability in your resume (Start date, End date). About the team Our team's mission is to empower genAI and content understanding in TikTok businesses. Computer vision and natural language processing are important dimensions in both content generation and understanding. We are working on various foundational models, including multi-modality pretraining, multi-modal large language model, image generation, video generation etc. As a genAI team on the business side, we try to succeed in both achieving business metric gains (recommendation metrics), and also producing state-of-the-art research outputs. Project Overview, Challenges & Value We aim to integrate recommendation large models multimodal large models, and the Agentic Rec framework to fundamentally reshape the underlying content distribution logic, empowering the system with deep semantic association and autonomous planning capabilities, exploring new frontiers in algorithmic design. 1. Recommendation Large Models: Address challenges such as gradient convergence and representation drift in ultra-long behavioral sequences, enabling the system to achieve true ""logical reasoning"" capabilities. 2. Unified Multimodal Semantic Space: Explore alignment across video, image-text content, and user intent, constructing a fully multimodal semantic space that goes beyond text. 3. Agentic Rec:Develop recommendation agents with capabilities such as self-reflection, tool invocation, and long-horizon planning, driving a transformation of recommendation and content distribution experiences. Key challenges include: 1. Extreme-scale reasoning: Performance gains and bottlenecks associated with ultra-large model parameters and ultra-long sequence modeling. 2. Multimodal fusion: Challenges in representation learning for cross-modal intent alignment. 3. Autonomous evolution: Breakthroughs in long-horizon planning and decision-making paradigms for agent systems. Project Value: 1. Technical value: Explore new paradigms for recommendation, significantly improving recommendation performance and system efficiency. 2. Business value: Enable deeper understanding of user interests and content, improving distribution efficiency and enhancing satisfaction for both users and creators. Responsibilities: - Design and develop next-generation large-scale recommendation systems optimized for personalized, engaging, and scalable user experiences. - Leverage state-of-the-art machine learning and deep learning techniques, including large model technologies（LLM and MLLM, etc), to enhance recommendation performance and accuracy. - Collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams, including infrastructure engineers, pmo, and researchers, to create advanced systems that improve recommendation relevance, diversity, and user engagement.
