2. Accelerate Material Discovery with Meta-learning Bayesian Optimization
Project Background | TCL CSOT is one of the largest display manufacturers in China, and displaying material discovery is the key to displaying innovation. Traditional experiments and computational modelling often consume tremendous time and resources and are limited by their experimental conditions and theoretical foundations. Thus, it is imperative to develop a new method of accelerating the discovery and design process for novel materials. Recently, materials discoveries using machine learning have been receiving increasing attention and have led to great improvements in both time efficiency and prediction accuracy. |
---|---|
Nature of Work | You will be working on cutting edge interdisciplinary problems in machine learning and material science. Machine learning has demonstrated its strong power in the exploration and development of many materials. In discovering and optimizing some highly complicated material systems, traditional approaches are powerless, but AI models provide a way to accelerate this process. Responsibilities:

- Multimodality interaction application development
- SuperRes application development
- SuperNight application development
1. Multimodality interaction application development
Project Background | The demand for multimodality interaction with different types of technical products, including televisions, is increasing. TV devices have already brought new experiences to users by adding the input of voice control, rather than the traditional single-mode remote control. In the future, user needs will be met in other innovative ways, e.g., gestures, eyeball tracking, and so on. This multimodality interaction will bring users a brand-new experience and make life more convenient. The multimodality interaction project team aims to design such innovative interaction methods, and plans to apply them to TCL smart TVs in the future. In this internship program, you will join the project team to develop a multimodality interactive prototype system for smart TVs. |

2. SuperRes application development
Project Background | Super-resolution (SuperRes) is an algorithm for upgrading and improving the details of an image: a high-resolution image is reconstructed through one or more frames of low-resolution images. Currently, TCL Hong Kong Research Centre is developing SuperRes that combines AI methods and traditional image processing methods, and plans to apply it to TCL smartphones. In the internship project, you will join the SuperRes project team and will be responsible for optimizing, testing and verifying the SuperRes algorithm and models. Through this internship program, you will learn the most advanced image processing algorithms, and experience the industry development process. |

Product Inspection Solution Development for Semiconductor Display
Project Background | The production line of TCL semiconductor display panels is 95% automated. However, product and equipment abnormality detection still relies on manual judgment and processing. There are a large number of quality inspection pictures which are generated every day (>=40000 pictures/day/production line). The manual detection cannot fully cover malfunctions and defects, and there will be misjudgements. In terms of economic costs/benefits, high manual participation costs large manpower for enterprises because of the long cycle training and high turnover rate. Therefore, it is necessary to implement an intelligent and automated product inspection solution for semiconductor display products. |
