Microsoft Research Intern - Formal Document Processing 

United States, Washington 

577469028

Processing documents, by querying, generating or acting on their content, is one of the most common applications of large language models (LLMs). Although LLMs enable a quantum leap in document processing, they are error prone. We will explore how to augment the statistical processing that LLMs provide with formal (or "logical") reasoning to reduce the error rate.
