DescriptionThe Data Scientist Intern position will support various machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) projects in the Leidos AI/ML Accelerator located in Arlington, VA. Candidates must be familiar with handling multiple types of data (text, image, video, audio, lidar, etc), primarily related to large language models (LLMs)/Generative AI and using transformers. The candidates must understand the theoretics of reinforcement learning, enabling continuous learning and task optimization. Ethical AI is part of all Leidos AI/ML projects. Consequently, we want candidates to know the concepts of Ethical AI and how to apply them.Along with those skills, the candidate must have demonstrated the ability to work independently and in technical teams to implement and customize algorithms to fuse multiple data modalities. In this position the candidate should have at least intermediate Python coder ability and hands-on experience using ML libraries like SciKit Learn, DKube, KubeFlow, Feast, Azure, TensorFlow, Keras, etc.Primary Responsibilities
Create AI/ML prototypes for use cases requiring identifying entity/objects, determining object association, object disambiguation, anomaly detection, state estimations, etc.
Develop and maintain data models (both physical and logical)
Perform extraction, transform, and load (ETL) tasks related to the different modalities and algorithms being applied. This data ETL includes identifying the data’s relevant metadata to ensure consistency, quality, accuracy, integrity, and information assurance and security.
Conduct anomaly detection using various AI/ML techniques
Properly configure general adversarial networks on there own and in conjunction with training such as Generative AI
Understanding of autoencoders and their prarmeters
Engineer prompts for LLMs and Generative AI
Use algorithms to identify complex patterns across multiple modalities
Increase the efficiency and quality data alignment and fusion
Design rewards for reward model training in reinforcement learning
Enhance and maintain analysis tools, including automation of current processes using AI/ML algorithms
Direct quantitative data analysis including developing retrieval, processing, fusion, analysis, and visualization of various datasets
Configure and program prototypes Jupyter notebooks with ML solutions
Setup and use AWS instances to train and operate AI/ML models
Basic Qualifications
