About the team
The team works on building Responsible AI alignment techniques for the Large Language Model (LLM) that drives Alexa+. We work on recent advances in LLM science including automated prompt optimisation, supervised fine tuning, Re-inforcement learning, model distillation, retrieval augmented generation, model & prompt interpretability and LLM driven data generation. The techniques are used to tune a foundational model to align with Alexa's policies on Responsible AI across dimensions of Appropriateness, Safety, Security, Privacy and Fairness. We focus on building cross-lingual methods to support 100s of millions of Alexa customers across the world speaking 15+ languages. A scientist on the team works on the following - a) running experiments to evaluate promising ideas to achieve a customer experience goal; b) Identify a research theme and follow recent advances in the space (papers/articles); c) collaborate with other scientists (within and outside team) to identify a science direction to solve a problem; d) publish papers in peer-reviewed conferences & journals of repute; e) Collaborate with faculty members in Indian academia (e.g. IIT-B).
The team's work was part of the Alexa+ launch announcement: [...]- Experience programming in Java, C++, Python or related language
- Experience building machine learning models or developing algorithms for business application
- Experience in state-of-the-art deep learning models architecture design and deep learning training and optimization and model pruning
- Experience researching about machine learning, deep learning, NLP, computer vision, data science- Have publications at top-tier peer-reviewed conferences or journals
