Research Internship — MLML@KAIST

Our research aims to “develop machine learning algorithms for human-like general artificial intelligence” that can help us solve the hard problems of humanity. We seek to achieve this by creating learning algorithms fundamental to perception, cognition, and action. We hope that this computational approach will also shed light on the inner workings of the human mind.

What We Work On

We're not chasing benchmarks. Our research targets the foundations of general intelligence:
Next-generation architectures — beyond transformers-as-default
Reasoning & abstraction — structured, compositional, transferable
Neural & Neurosymbolic World models & long-horizon planning
Causal discovery & reasoning
Embodied AI & robot learning
Agent AI & Scientist AI

 What You Will Do

You'll own a research question. You'll get close mentorship from day one, participate in weekly seminars, present papers, and engage in real research discussions. Strong projects are developed toward workshop or conference submissions.

 Requirements

Minimum 8 weeks, full-time
Must be physically present in the lab during the internship
Basic background in machine learning and deep learning
Experience with PyTorch preferred
Candidates who can continue into the following semester are strongly preferred

  What You Get

Competitive stipend
GPU resources & research infrastructure
Direct mentorship from faculty and senior researchers
A research environment that takes ideas seriously

 Selection Criteria

We care more about how you think than what's on your CV.
We look for candidates who:
Genuine curiosity about research problems (not just engineering interest)
Ability to read, question, and engage with papers
Strong problem-solving instincts
Bonus
Prior research experience
Project portfolio
