Microsoft Research Asia is recruiting interns for Stars of Tomorrow Internship Program
Position: Full-time Intern
Group: System Research Group (System)
Quantity: 2
Work Location: Beijing
Position 1:
Project Introduction
We are working on a Large Scale Content Based Image Retrieval project together with Media Computing Group. One primary research topic is to find visual words from a large set of image features. We’re going to extract SIFT features from millions of images and analyze them using parallel computing techniques, which will also involve various techniques from machine learning and data mining area. The goal is to understand the properties of Visual Words on a large data set and possibly answer the question whether there exists a stable set of Visual Words which can apply to different image set.
Role & Responsibilities
1. Conduct large scale clustering experiments on different sample sets. Try to analyze the properties of clustering result.
2. Write parallel programs to aid the analyzing work.
Apply the analyzing result to CBIR applications, such as nearly duplicate image detection.
Required Qualification
8. MS/PhD in Computer Science;
9. Good understanding of computer vision techniques. Have experience conducting data driven experiments.
10. Good C++ programming skills, with background in networked and multithreaded software development.
Background of machine learning techniques is a big plus.
Position 2:
Project Introduction
In this internship, we would like to explore Robotics and its impact on system software design. Robotics is becoming an increasingly important and active research area and we want to explore the impact of it on programming models, information sharing and reliability issues. We propose to build a simple camera carrying robot as an initial case study for studying the issues of development on robots.
Role & Responsibilities
The intern will be responsible to survey various robotic software platforms and get familiar with the i-Robot hardware to build a simple camera carrying robot. The initial scenario is for the robot to take videos on a round table when a meeting is taking place.
Required Qualification
11. MS/PhD in Computer Science, Electronic Engineer or any related technical field and possess the following skills;
12. Experience in Robotics a strong plus
Good reading and written English;
Qualified applicants please fill in the application form and send it together with a full resume in both English and Chinese (PDF/Word/Txt/Html format) to: MSRAih@microsoft.com. Please note you are applying for MSRA System group.
