Machine Learning Intern, Lincolnshire, Illinois, 60069

Kelly Services is seeking a Machine Learning Intern for one of our top clients in Lincolnshire, IL.

Length: 06/28/2021 to 10/29/2021

Type: Contract W2

Pay Rate: $35-39/hr.

We seek candidates who have the skills and research experience to join a new team to push the boundaries of pure mathematics, theoretical statistics (incl. parametric and non-parametric Bayesian statistics) and machine learning (primarily in deep reinforcement learning). A proven record of publications (at least one first-author paper in reputed conferences such as NeurIPS, COLT, UAI, ICML, AISTATS, JMLR, PAMI, and others) and prototyping skills in terms of developing algorithms, in any language, is critical.

As an industry R&D laboratory, we pursue theoretical and applied research to feed into the other. Like academia, knowledge dissemination is through the publication of papers in reputed journals, conferences and workshops, and patents. We have current collaborations with world-renowned academic institutions; encouraging such industry-academia partnerships is important for research scientists.

Qualifications, skills and other information:

• Internship applicants will generally study towards a PhD degree in computer science, engineering, statistics, mathematics, and allied disciplines. (core requirement)
• Knowledge of reinforcement learning (essential) and multi-agent systems (desirable)
• Knowledge of Bayesian statistics (desirable)
• Hands-on experience with at least one of the following: Python, C/C++, Java, etc. (core requirement)
• REQUIRED: Concrete experience in reinforcement learning that goes beyond downloading an RL codebase and running it.
• Data science and 'concrete' experience in RL are very different - the latter requires prowess both in mathematics and computer science, REQUIRED for this role. This difference is paramount. Someone who just has ML and Python on their CVs do not qualify them for RL.
• Good candidates may have (a) published in the field of RL in top conferences i.e., original contribution, or (b) have a codebase that is original in GitHub/Bitbucket.
