Microsoft onsite • Nairobiintern

We are currently inviting applications for an internship position focused on building an agentic system for cultural tailoring of multi-modal content for the African Health Stories project. Africa Health Stories is a collaborative project between Microsoft Research and  Stellenbosch University, the University of Pretoria and Swansea University to create a story generation tool which produces interactive visual, oral, and text stories enabling patients to better understand how to apply health advice to their local circumstances.

 

This role presents a unique opportunity to contribute to the development of Machine Learning (ML) and Image Generation technologies that are culturally and linguistically grounded in the African context.
