Hello Artur,

I think our recruiting team had a big success attracting prospective 
candidates from CMU data science program this year. But in case they 
missed someone or especially if you have PhD students who might be 
interested:

A9 Search Relevance and Labs org is looking for interns for the next 
summer. Our org has grown and we have multiple opportunities.

1.We have a new team focused on experimentation methods. Their possible 
internship topics include “Development of faster to converge weblab 
metrics” and “Increase statistical power for weblabs”.

2.I am looking for an intern to continue the work on developing a smart 
but simple model for the first phase of multi-phase ranking. This is 
more of an empirical ML-heavy project. Ideally I am looking for someone 
who has experience with logistic regression, but this is not a hard 
requirement.

3.Ranking team has room for a research intern. They haven’t made their 
mind about a specific project yet, but I’ve heard keywords “head/tail 
query splits”, “feature selection”, “revisit pointwise vs pairwise”.

4.Digital media team is looking to continue an internship project from 
this summer on identifying query chains.

5.There is another new team – Deep Learning for Search (a.k.a Search 
Labs) under Guy Lebanon. I think there is a possibility there as well.

Resumes can be sent directly to me, I’ll forward them to the respective 
teams.

Best,

Daria
