Minhyuk Sung, KAIST, Summer 2023

Deadline: Apr 30 (Sun), 23:59 KST.

Application Form: Link

We’re looking for undergraduate interns who are interested in building cutting-edge machine learning technologies for 3D geometric data. During the internship, you will work on your own research project with a topic in this field and learn and discuss with us 1) how to find a good research topic, 2) how to develop your research idea, 3) how to implement and prototype the idea, and finally (and possibly), 4) how to demonstrate the research outcomes in a paper.

Research topics include, but are not limited to:

• Diffusion-based 3D generative models
• 3D indoor/outdoor scene generation/reconstruction
• Texture generation
• Neural materials
• Neural rendering
• Language-to-3D
• Discovering structure in 3D
• Learning for 3D human data
• Diffusion on manifolds

For reference, check out

• CS492(A): Machine Learning for 3D Data course webpage,
• CS492(J): Geometric Modeling and Processing course webpage, and
• My webpage.

Requirements

• We’re looking for students who have experience in developing any deep learning techniques (either with PyTorch or TensorFlow).
• Candidates who have taken or audited the CS492(A): Machine Learning for 3D Data and/or CS492(J): Geometric Modeling and Processing courses will be preferred (but not required). All potential candidates will be asked to finish following the course materials before starting the internship.
• 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 after the summer will be preferred. (Remote work can be considered for the extension.)

Conditions

• Interns will be expected to commit to the internship for full-time at least 8 weeks this summer. The starting and the end dates are flexible, but the desired start and end dates are:
  Start date: June 26 (Mon)
  End date: August 25 (Fri)
  
• Interns will be paid and provided with a desk in our lab and computing resources (access to either KCloud or our own GPU servers).
