Project

The goal of this project is to assist in the preservation of an endangered language using machine learning. Under the guidance of our senior AI engineers, the intern will focus specifically on supporting speech-to-text data curation and model training. Students will evaluate the performance of existing models and help train newly developed ones within this domain. Because the intern will be working on distinct data curation tasks, evaluation scripts, and training sub-modules, they will retain full IP ownership over the specific code and artifacts they author, ensuring compliance with the unpaid educational structure.
