Research Scientist, Audio Language Models

vor 3 Wochen


Zurich, Schweiz Google Vollzeit

**Minimum qualifications**:

- PhD in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Experience in Machine Learning Algorithms/Research and Language Modeling.
- Experience with publications (e.g., NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, ICASSP, INTERSPEECH), or a field related to Machine Learning.
- Experience in Python.

**Preferred qualifications**:

- Experience working in an industry or academic research lab, and taking research from concept to product.
- Experience in areas such as speech, general audio processing, speech-to-speech or language modeling in audio.
- Experience collaborating or leading an applied research project.

**About the job**:
As a Research Scientist, you'll also actively contribute to the wider research community by sharing and publishing your findings, with ideas inspired by internal projects as well as from collaborations with research programs at partner universities and technical institutes all over the world.

Our Research team focuses on audio generative AI, driving the development of the foundational technology adopted by AudioLM, a state-of-the-art framework capable of generating speech, music and general sounds. We developed the core components of AudioLM, including soundstream and soundstorm, and directly contributed to models addressing a wide array of use cases, ranging from text-to-speech synthesis (e.g., SPEAR-TTS), text-to-music (e.g., MusicLM) and speech-to-speech translation (e.g., AudioPaLM). We have ongoing collaborations with different product teams. This allows us to advance the state-of-the-art with scientific publication, while at the same time push the outcome of our research projects to Google products.

Google Research addresses challenges that define the technology of today and tomorrow. From conducting fundamental research to influencing product development, our research teams have the opportunity to impact technology used by billions of people every day.

**Responsibilities**:

- Explore how to extend AudioLM to support emerging use cases that require streaming-aware processing on any kind of audio.
- Design universal audio representations, which are learned to capture all the necessary information needed to drive the synthesis process regardless of the specific content type, while at the same time providing a compact representation suitable for language modeling.
- Design all modeling components, from tokenizers to language models, so that stringent constraints can be met in terms of algorithmic and compute latency.
- Implement models, design experiments and deploy proof-of-concepts in the area of audio generation to demonstrate universal audio synthesis capable of producing complex soundscapes in real time, encompassing speech, music and general sounds.
