Research Intern - Azure AI: Visual Document Intelligence
Redmond, WA
Job/Internship Description
OverviewResearch 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.The mission of the Cognitive Services Visual Document Intelligence team in the Azure AI organization is to make fundamental contributions to advancing the state-of-the-art in artificial intelligence (AI) technology related to document understanding. "Documents" stand at the intersection between natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision (CV) research. To fully understand a document, one needs to borrow from both language and visual (Layout) elements of the document. We explore both these research areas - and their synergy - to conduct research on forward-looking topics such as key-value extraction, few-shot named entity recognition (NER), hierarchical layout analysis, and many others. We are looking for passionate Research Interns to work on cutting edge research in Document Understanding. We are particularly interested in research interns with a background in AI, NLP, and/or CV, including topics like layout analysis, chart understanding, multi-page multi-document question answering, novel ways of leveraging large language models for document understanding and solving problems inherent to large language models (grounding, retrieval-based generation, etc.). Familiarity with modern large language models is a plus, but not required. In this position, you will conduct both fundamental and applied research under the supervision of Microsoft mentors. As a Research Intern, you will have the opportunity to prototype, demonstrate and publish your results. Microsoft's mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
ResponsibilitiesResearch 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 internships are available in all areas of research, and are offered year-round, though they typically begin in the summer.
