Call for Internship (Summer 2025)

We’re looking for undergraduate interns who are interested in building cutting-edge machine learning technologies for visual data!

Diffusion models / Flow models / Autoregressive models
- Discrete generative models
- Autoregressive diffusion models
- Large language diffusion models
- Video generative models
- Generative models across diverse data modalities
- Inference-time scaling
VLM / LLM / Foundation models
- VLMs for spatial understanding
- RL-based fine-tuning of foundation models
3D / Neural rendering
- 3D generation, editing, and deformation

As an intern, you'll have the opportunity to cultivate hands-on experience in research while participating in the following activities:

Tutorials: Curated coding assignments covering recent research topics such as diffusion/flow models.
Project: A small-scale research project based on an idea provided by our group. Interns are also welcome to pitch their own ideas for the project.
Weekly Meetings: In-depth discussions on technical papers led by two student presenters (including both graduate and undergraduate students) every week.
Paper Digest Meetings: Lightweight meetings for briefly skimming through recent papers.

We're looking for students who have experience in developing any deep learning techniques.
Candidates who have taken or audited the courses Diffusion Models and Their Applications and/or Machine Learning for 3D Data will be preferred (though this is not required).
Interns will be required to be physically present in our lab during the internship.
Location: KAIST, N1 Bldg, Rm 622, 291 Daehak-ro, Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, Korea 34141.
Candidates who can extend the internship for the following semester will be preferred. (Remote work can be considered for the extension.)

Interns will be expected to commit to the internship for full-time at least 8 weeks.
Interns will be paid, and computing resources will be provided.
Students enrolled in a university outside of Korea cannot be paid due to administrative restrictions.

Click the ''Application Form'' button at the top. You'll need to prepare the following files:

a copy of your transcript, and
