We are excited to introduce the research interns and engineering co-ops for the Fall 2023 internship cycle. These students will collaborate with our research and engineering teams to develop innovative AI models and solutions to shape the financial sector.
We are devoted to supporting these students to enhance their education and advance their early research and engineering careers. Together, we will contribute to the growth of Canada’s AI ecosystem and talent pool.
Our Machine Learning Research Internship Program provides graduate students unique access to massive structured and unstructured datasets, tools, GPUs, and resources necessary to build game-changing statistical models. They will also have the chance to publish original research in peer-reviewed academic conferences, such as NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, and CVPR. Meanwhile, our Engineering Co-op program allows students to participate in all project stages, from data pre-processing to implementing machine learning algorithms and front-end development.
"Our engineering co-op program gives students a chance to work on real machine-learning projects with some of the industry's best ML engineers and researchers. Throughout their work term, these students will gain valuable experience to grow their skills and network,"
