**Ubisoft Bordeaux**

Founded in 2017, Ubisoft Bordeaux works with passion on the biggest AAA titles to deliver the best gaming experiences. Today, the studio is composed of 400 talents from 20 different nationalities, working on licenses such as Assassin's Creed, Beyond Good & Evil 2 and a free to play game, BattleCore Arena. At the same time, the studio has set up a Tech branch which works on all Ubisoft's online services (named Online Services) as well as on the Anvil game engine. Ubisoft Bordeaux is also home to a R&D team, La Forge, which brings together engineers and researchers to work together on prototypes for game production, particularly around AI topics.

In video games, navigating and interacting within dynamic environments presents a unique challenge for NPCs and bots. Current methods for navigation, such as using absolute or relative positions, often fail to generalize effectively across new environments. This internship will explore innovative approaches to designing machine learning (ML)-based agents that can operate in complex, dynamic, and adversarial settings by leveraging high-dimensional inputs.

Recent advances in AI, such as DeepMind's SIMA agent, show that it is possible for an agent to learn from pixel inputs across multiple environments. However, we aim to push these ideas further by taking advantage of the structured data available in video games. Specifically, this internship will investigate whether object-centric observations, semantic depth maps and potentially neural environment representations can be used to develop a more efficient, generalist agent capable of navigating dynamic environments (e.g., following a car in motion regardless of texture, color and surroundings).

This internship will help pave the way for the development of _foundation models_—generalist agents that can be deployed across various games and settings, moving beyond simplistic small-scale navigation, aiming to create more efficient and adaptable NPCs and bots.

**Relevant literature**:
**Objectives**:

- Explore how high-dimensional observations (e.g., semantic depth maps, asset lists) can improve bot/NPC performance in dynamic environments.
- Investigate the design of a generalist agent capable of learning from simpler, more structured inputs (such as depth maps) while efficiently handling complex navigation tasks (e.g. attention layers over large asset lists, CNNs for symbolic images)
- Develop a prototype to test neural environment representations that embed richer semantic information, enabling the agent to generalize across various environments.
- Integrate these techniques with Ubisoft’s game development pipelines, aiming to optimize bot/NPC learning for real-time, large-scale environments.

**Internship Structure**:
**Qualifications**
- You are in the final year of your engineering degree or pursuing a research master’s in computer science, AI, or a related field.
- You have strong skills in machine learning, computer vision, and reinforcement learning. Knowledge of neural representations is a plus.
- You are proficient in Python and familiar with machine learning libraries such as TensorFlow or PyTorch.
- Experience with 3D graphics, game engines, and neural radiance fields (NeRF) is a plus.
- You can communicate effectively in English in a collaborative, international team environment.
- Knowledge of game development and interest in video game production is a plus.

**Additional Information**
This job is open for an **internship (6-month contract).**

**Remote**: hybrid model

**Process**:

- Interview with our recruiter
- One or more technical and project interviews with the manager and his team
- We are working to enrich players’ lives through unique and memorable gaming experiences and by improving the positive impacts of our games.
