Machine Learning Resident Client Outsyders (1 year term)

If you are interested in leveraging Generative AI for Computer Vision in visual effects film industry and gaming this is the right opportunity for you. Be a part of a team of research and machine learning scientists and get mentored by some of the best minds in AI while doing it.

• Kunwar Saaim Machine Learning Scientist

Description

About the Role

This is a paid Residency that will be undertaken over a twelve-month period with the potential to be hired by our client afterwards (note : at the discretion of the client). The Resident will be reporting to an Amii Scientist and regularly consult with the Client team to share insights and engage in knowledge transfer activities.

About our Client

Outsyders are redefining the art of theatrical 3D conversion. Founded by pioneers from three of the most respected stereoscopic conversion studios our team fuses decades of experience with cutting-edge machine learning to push the boundaries of cinematic immersion. O ur innovations are trusted by the biggest names in Hollywood. We dont just convert films; we elevate them delivering a premium 3D experience that enhances storytelling deepens engagement and sets a new industry standard.

About the Project

This project focuses on developing generative AI techniques for video inpainting in stereo conversion leveraging diffusion models and spatiotemporal architectures to reconstruct missing or occluded regions in monocular stereo conversion workflows generating a second view from a single camera feed often results in occluded regions that need to be inpainted with depth-aware temporally consistent information.

Unlike traditional methods that rely on heuristic propagation or adversarial learning this research explores diffusion-based generative models to synthesize high-fidelity missing regions while maintaining structural temporal and depth consistency.

Who Are You

You have completed a graduate-level program or higher ( in Computing Science Machine Learning or Engineering with substantial research and project experience in deep learning computer vision and generative AI. You are proficient in Python and experienced with key ML frameworks and libraries such as PyTorch Hugging Face Diffusers vLLM serving and inference and OpenCV. Your positive attitude towards learning new applied domains and your ability to communicate technical concepts clearly make you a valuable team player. You are enthusiastic about collaborating across interdisciplinary teams to achieve excellence.

What You Will Be Doing

In this role you will develop GenAI computer vision models specifically tailored for Outsyders immersive technology applications to enhance interactive experiences contributing directly to the advancement of Outsyders products and services.

Your responsibilities include preparing and curating relevant datasets utilizing commercial and open-source models and tools to support GenAI computer vision tasks and optimizing model pipelines to ensure scalability and real-time processing. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop client-centric solutions participate in client meetings and contribute to reports on project progress.
