Microsoft's Cloud and AI group has a unique opportunity at the intersection of cloud computing and artificial intelligence. Fueled by Microsoft's cloud-first vision, we are disrupting the cloud industry with innovation and large-scale AI implementation. The goal of the Azure Customer Growth and Analytics (CGA) team is to foster a data-driven culture; to encourage and enable the entire organization to make more informed decisions through data. In support of this mission, our data science team carries out applied research in ML/AI and designs, develops and deploys state of the art algorithms for various business scenarios. Some of the more recent developments include applications of deep learning, neural networks, boosted decision trees, sparse linear models, and customer segmentation, which have been executed in partnership with teams across engineering, finance, business planning, and sales and marketing. Our team also has a strong presence in both internal and external data science and
