Attention academic friends! We are looking to fund creative research on the use of language models - small and large - in productivity scenarios (deadline: June 3rd) https://lnkd.in/gBbupzVc Looking forward to your proposals! #GenAI #LLM #Copilot #Microsoft

I feel extremely fortunate every single day to help catalyze the collaboration among this amazing group of leaders in Microsoft!

Learning from interaction is different from learning from annotations. Today we are excited to share how we are starting to learn from people's interactions to understand and improve Copilot (web) for our consumer customers: https://lnkd.in/gaFxyYHx It's been an absolute treat to help catalyze collaboration among world-class product makers and innovators across Microsoft in the past few months on the efforts: Reid Andersen, Georg Buscher, Scott Counts, Deepak Gupta, Brent Hecht, Dhruv Joshi, Sujay Kumar Jauhar, Ying-Chun Lin, Sathish manivannan, Jennifer Neville, Nagu Rangan, Chirag Shah, Dolly Sobhani, Siddharth Suri, Tara Safavi, Jaime Teevan, Saurabh Tiwary, Mengting Wan, Ryen White, Xia Song, Jay Stokes, Xiaofeng Xu #Microsoft #Copilot #Bing #GenAI

Arrived at #neurips2023. Will be at Microsoft booth (1003) to talk about applied research opportunities at #micorsoft. Ping me if you would like to meet.

It can't be more exciting to do applied research in AI today. We are hiring full-time senior applied scientist to join Microsoft's Office of Applied Research in Redmond🎉🎉 . Your work will fundamentally impact Microsoft Copilots and contribute to the future of GenAI, LLMs, prompting, and much more. I will be attending #neurips2023 next week and and would love to connect. If you’re interested in discussing this opportunity and the future of AI, ping me, and we will find some time. Meanwhile, please apply and we look forward to learning about you! #hring #generatieveai #llm #futureofwork #microsoft #jobalert Jaime Teevan Brent Hecht Mengting Wan Bahareh Sarrafzadeh Aaron Halfaker Shilad Sen

Looking for applied GenAI gems? Yujin Kim and Chin-Chia Hsu will wrap up their PostDoc with us next spring/summer and are on the job market now 🎉 At Microsoft, they have done pioneering work on applying LLMs to productivity scenarios and have first-hand cross-disciplinary experience in GenAI since the beginning of the disruption. Yujin Kim brings unique research background from workplace and built environment and leads GenAI solutions for workplace planning. Chin-Chia Hsu combines his expertise in optimization and microeconomics and drives GenAI applications in individual and organizational decision making. Both of them have been greatly valued members of Office of Applied Research! Please reach out to them directly if your institution is hiring in the space.

Continuing our research to understand the impact of remote and hybrid work. This time at PNAS, we shared how hybrid work brings environmental benefits. Big shout out to my former intern Yanqiu T. and collaborators Sonia Jaffe Peter Bergen Fereshteh Amini, Ph.D. Brent Hecht Fengqi You It’s truly a pleasure working with world-class environmental scientists on this critical topic and help organizations around the world navigate work flexibility. #hybridwork #sustainability #carbonfootprint #futureofwork

Academic friends - we have a CFP at Microsoft on AI/LLM for future of work. Looking forward to your proposals!

The future of productivity is here!
