About the role
The cloud provides flexible and low-cost IT resources across the Internet. As more cloud providers seek to drive greater business outcomes and the environments of the cloud become more complicated, it is evident that the era of intelligent cloud has arrived. Recent advancements in Machine Learning and AI such as Large Language Model, Deep Learning holds the promise for solving some of the most complex challenges in cloud management that were not possible before. To name a few, proactive anomaly detection, dynamic and intelligent resource allocation, intelligent fault diagnosis and network demand prediction are among the challenging problems in this space.
Huawei Ireland Research Centre is expanding an LLM research team that will focus on research and developing AI algorithms for cutting-edge advancements in LLM and Agents, with a focus on domain-specific foundation models, multi agent and web agent systems tailored to Huawei Consumer Cloud services. Key application areas include smart health, data, infrastructure and advertising operations, etc.
