Research Intern - Microsoft Teams CMD Labs
Redmond, WA 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.   Microsoft Teams   is the hub for teamwork that integrates all the people, content, and tools your team needs to be more engaged and effective. It is core to Microsoft’s modern work, modern life & modern education value prop.  We are reinventing the way people communicate and work together across the globe.     We are looking to hire a PhD (or published MSc) candidate for a 12-week Research Internship to join   CMD Labs   – an applied science team within Microsoft Teams – to work on improving transcription accuracy   specifically for   Japanese , with emphasis on named entities   (e.g., names of people/products/teams etc.) by applying existing or novel research and leveraging training, fine tuning, and prompt engineering of speech transformer models, as well as LLMs and audio-enabled foundations models as post-processing and re-scoring modules.   Our flagship AI applications for Teams Meetings such Team Copilot, Personal Meeting Copilot and Intelligent Recap are all fully dependent on an accurate meeting transcription as the primary grounding data. Within transcription, the importance of named entities - names of people, projects, products, companies and places - is often the most important, and yet the most challenging for the transcription engine since the names might not be a part of the model's training data.   The Research Intern will be onboarded to our evaluation pipeline code which takes as input real meetings that were donated internally, and work to iterate on existing algorithms as well as propose novel solutions to the problem based on recent academic literature. The work done in the Research Internship will contribute towards the algorithm that the engineering team will implement in production.   As a secondary priority, given substantial scientific novelty of the approach and results, collaboration on a mutual publication is also possible. Research Interns put inquiry and theory into practice. Alongside fellow doctoral candidates and some of the world’s best researchers, Research Interns learn, collaborate, and network for life. Research Interns not only advance their own careers, but they also contribute to exciting research and development strides. During the 12-week internship, Research Interns are paired with mentors and expected to collaborate with other Research Interns and researchers, present findings, and contribute to the vibrant life of the community. Research internships are available in all areas of research, and are offered year-round, though they typically begin in the summer. Additional Responsibilities Conduct experiments, create and validate metrics, and develop candidate algorithms to improve the accuracy of transcription of named entities  in Japanese   and reduce chances of error in downstream LLM-based applications. Collaborate closely with CMD Labs researchers and engineers to leverage existing assets, datasets, and ensure results can be leveraged back into the product. Embody our  culture  and  values .
