Microsoft Cambridge Research Intern – AI Code Generation New Compute Experiences 

United Kingdom, England, Cambridge 

553127787

Our focus is on the development and application of code-generation language models to empower end-users with richer computing capabilities and act on the user’s behalf

We are Interested in a Broad Range of Areas

• Enhancing code-generating language models through finetuning, in-context learning, and post-training techniques

• Generating synthetic training and evaluation data for new use-cases

• Applications of generative AI to data analysis, dynamic interface generation, and productivity tools such Microsoft Excel and Word.

• Using insights from type systems, static analysis, program synthesis and machine learning to debug and repair generated computations by LLMs

(MSR Redmond), Excel, and PROSE.

Required/Minimum Qualifications:

• Must be enrolled in a PhD program in Machine Learning, Computer Science (or related discipline).

• Experience in LLM research in one or more of the following areas: code generation, semantic parsing, fine-tuning, reinforcement learning, synthetic data generation, neuro-symbolic programming,benchmarkingand evaluation.

• Experience implementing new prototypes or conducting experiments using software development practices such as version control and code review.

• Interns are expected to be physicallylocatedin Cambridge UK.

Preferred/Additional Qualifications:

• Strong communicationskills, especially scientificwritingand communication.

• Publications in relevant NLP, ML, PL conferences or journals is preferred (e.g.NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL, EMNLP, POPL, PLDI, OOPSLA).
• Ability to work in an interdisciplinary collaborative environment with people from different technical backgrounds.

• Invent technical solutions to enable new and better user experiences.

• Develop and evaluate prototypes in collaboration with our research and engineering teams.

• Write and present your findings in technical documents or research papers.
