While deep networks have been highly successful at visual regression problems such as face landmark estimation and human body tracking, relatively little work has been done on estimating the uncertainty of their predictions. We are seeking a highly motivated intern to conduct original research in the area of uncertainty estimation for deep network predictions. The successful candidate will collaborate with MERL researchers to design and implement new models, conduct experiments, and prepare results for publication. The candidate should be a PhD student in computer vision and machine learning with a strong publication record and experience in deep learning-based face or body landmark estimation and tracking. Strong programming skills, experience developing and implementing new models in deep learning platforms such as PyTorch and TensorFlow, and broad knowledge of machine learning and deep learning methods are expected.

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) and related methods have generated much excitement for their ability to synthesize images and data that appear remarkably realistic. MERL is seeking a highly motivated intern to conduct original research in the area of generative adversarial networks. The successful candidate will collaborate with MERL researchers to design and implement new models, conduct experiments, and prepare results for publication. The candidate should be a PhD student in computer vision with experience in GANs and related deep learning methods, as well as good general knowledge in machine learning and a strong publication record. Strong programming skills in Python, flexibility working across various deep learning platforms (e.g., PyTorch and TensorFlow), and previous experience coding GANs are expected.

MERL is seeking a highly motivated intern to conduct original research in the area of monitoring vital signs, such as heart rate and heart rate variability, from video of a person. The successful candidate will collaborate with MERL researchers to derive and implement new models, collect data, conduct experiments, and prepare results for publication. The candidate should be a PhD student in computer vision with a strong publication record and experience in computer vision, signal processing, machine learning, and health monitoring. Strong programming skills (C/C++, Python, Matlab, etc.) are expected.
