Job Information
Meta Research Engineer, Language Modeling - Neuromotor Interfaces in New York, New York
Summary:
Reality Labs at Meta is seeking a Research Engineer with experience in language modeling research and production for embedded devices to advance our pioneering work in neuromotor interfaces, which has grown out of the acquisition of CTRL-labs. We’re building a practical neural interface for text entry drawing on the rich neuromotor signals that can be measured non-invasively with single motor neuron resolution. This technology will become one of the main pillars for interaction with the virtual and augmented world.We are a multi-disciplinary team of researchers building text input methods using human neuromotor signals (i.e., electromyography or EMG). EMG signals are similar in many ways to other neural signals and audio signals and can be analyzed using many of the same approaches. For example, the task of transcribing characters typed on a keyboard from wrist-based EMG is closely analogous to that of automatic speech recognition. We’re looking for people who want to shape the future of this technology and explore this exciting new territory with us.
Required Skills:
Research Engineer, Language Modeling - Neuromotor Interfaces Responsibilities:
Design methods, tools, and infrastructure to push forward the state of the art in language models suitable for deployment to edge devices.
Develop applications of language models for autocorrect, autocomplete, auto-capitalization, and other predictive-text tasks.
Integrate language modeling with other models and decoders, e.g., using beam search within a finite-state transducer framework.
Collaborate with research and Human-Computer Interactions (HCI) teams to deploy language models that leverage fundamental knowledge into new technology and user experiences.
Develop production-grade code for deployment in research prototypes and pre-production devices.
Define research goals informed by practical engineering concerns.
Contribute to experiments, including designing experimental details, writing reusable code, running evaluations, and organizing results.
Autonomously set technical direction.
