Microsoft Research Cambridge Internship Program - Machine Intelligence

Contribute to an ambitious research agenda in machine learning that lays the groundwork for advances across a wide range of scientific and technological domains. Collaborate with a team of world-class researchers to explore and solve fundamental problems in ML. Formulate and evaluate research hypotheses, analyse experimental results, and conduct careful empirical studies. Prepare technical reports, papers, presentations, and, where appropriate, open-source releases of research code. Currently enrolled in a PhD programme in a relevant field (e.g. Machine Learning, Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Physics). One or more publications at a top-tier venue in machine learning or related area. Ability to clearly communicate research ideas and results to a diverse audience. Strong ML coding and engineering skills. Reasoning, planning and control in language models and agents Memory, continual learning and long-horizon adaptation Agents for scientific discovery Tool use, program synthesis and verification Efficient model training and inference Generative and probabilistic modelling Theoretical foundations of deep learning Interpretability, AI safety and alignment Causal representation learning and model-based reasoning Neuromorphic algorithms/brain-inspired architectures
