Job Summary

Job Description

This Research Internship at Microsoft focuses on improving the accuracy of Large Language Models (LLMs) in document processing. The intern will explore methods to integrate formal reasoning with statistical LLM processing to reduce errors. The internship involves working with leading researchers, collaborating on projects, presenting findings, and contributing to the development of advanced document processing techniques. The role requires a PhD student in Computer Science or a related field and experience with LLMs, including fine-tuning and interaction with the decoding mechanism. The internship is a 12-week program based in Redmond, Washington, offering a chance to gain practical experience in a dynamic research environment.
Must have:
  • PhD in Computer Science or related field
  • Experience with LLMs (fine-tuning, decoding)
  • Formal reasoning/theorem proving background
  • Natural Language Processing (NLP) experience
Good to have:
  • Experience interacting with LLM decoding mechanisms
  • Experience using LMs through APIs and local installations

Job Details

Overview

Research Internships at Microsoft provide a dynamic environment for research careers with a network of world-class research labs led by globally-recognized scientists and engineers, who pursue innovation in a range of scientific and technical disciplines to help solve complex challenges in diverse fields, including computing, healthcare, economics, and the environment.

 

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.
