and experiences of our devices and services. We are looking for highly
motivated and passionate Data Scientists to design and apply rigorous
scientific methodology and algorithms to improve Microsoft’s devices,
operating systems, and services. As a Data Scientist, you will provide unique
insight into business and customer scenarios that cut across organizational
boundaries and lead the growth of a data-driven culture within Microsoft.
As an AI expert, you will help push the state-of-the-art in computer vision,
Natural language processing (NLP), speech recognition and speech enhancement,
using Microsoft's extensive domain- specific knowledge, data, and compute
resources.
We are looking for people who wish to work on a meaningful and impactful
project and make a difference while using their creativity to solve scientific
problems. Are you willing to learn from others and open to new ideas? Do you
want to support others to succeed and operate in a highly collaborative and
global environment? Do you like working with real data and solving real world
problems? If this sounds like you, Microsoft would like to invite you to come
join us as you are, where you can find more than just a job.
Responsibilities
* As a Data Scientist or an AI researcher intern, you will help formulate approaches to solve problems using various algorithms and data sources. You will incorporate an understanding of product functionality and customer perspective to provide context for those problems. You will use data exploration techniques to discover new questions or opportunities within your problem area and propose applicability and limitations of the data. Successful Data Scientists will interpret the results of their analysis, validate their approach, and learn to monitor, analyze, and iterate to continuously improve.
* You will develop real-world machine learning and deep learning algorithms in the domains of computer vision, natural language processing, recommender systems, and more.
* You will increase productivity of ongoing research projects and help to productize them, publish research papers in top-tier machine learning venues and issue patents.
* You will engage with peer stakeholders to produce clear, compelling, actionable insights that influence product and service improvements that will impact millions of customers.
* As a Data Scientist, you will also engage in the peer review process and act on feedback while learning innovative methods, algorithms, and tools to increase the impact and applicability of your results.
