The Applied AI team at Uber is dedicated to collaborating with various product teams to deliver innovative AI solutions that address core business challenges. This team works closely with engineering, product, and data science teams to identify significant business problems and explore the potential of AI solutions. The team is responsible for delivering these AI solutions from inception to completion. Key areas of expertise within the team include Computer Vision, ML Optimization, Geospatial AI, Personalization, and Generative AI. Within this framework, the Generative AI team focuses on building a semantic layer that enhances our understanding of entities relevant to the Uber platform, such as places, merchants, items, riders, and eaters. The team collaborates with partners across various teams to design, develop, and productionize semantic data, features, and embeddings that cater to business needs. This role involves building and iterating on capturing semantic information of Uber entities by leveraging large language models (LLMs) and generating embeddings that improve our understanding of these entities. The ultimate goal is to leverage this information to enhance machine learning models across Uber and create novel personalized experiences for users.
