High-performance
Distributed Deep Learning
点击此处向上滑动阅览
The parallel and distributed systems are the solution to address the ever-increasing complexity problem of deep learning trainings. However, existing solutions still leave efficiency and scalability on the table by missing optimization opportunities on various environments at industrial scale.
In this project, we’ll work with scientists who are at the forefront of system and network research, leveraging the world-leading platforms to solve system and networking problems in parallel and distributed deep learning area. The current project team members, from both MSR Asia and MSR Redmond labs, have rich experience contributing to both industry and academic community through transferring innovations that support production systems and publications at top conferences.

Intelligent Data Cleansing
点击此处向上滑动阅览
Tabular data such as Excel spreadsheets and databases are one of the most important assets in large enterprises today, which however are often plagued with data quality issues. Intelligent data cleansing focuses on novel ways to detect and fix data quality issues in tabular data, which can assist the large class of less-technical and non-technical users in enterprises.
We are interested in a variety of topics in this area, including data-driven and intelligent techniques to detect data quality issues and suggest possible fixes, leveraging inferred constraints and statistical properties based on existing data assets and software artifacts.

Intelligent Power-Aware
Virtual Machine Allocation
点击此处向上滑动阅览
As one of the world-leading cloud service providers, Microsoft Azure manages tens of millions of virtual machines every day. Within such a large-scale cloud system, how to efficiently allocate virtual machines on servers is critical and has been a hot research topic for years. Previously, teams from MSR-Asia and MSR-Redmond have made significant contributions in this area that resulted in production impact and publication of academic papers at top-tier conferences (e.g., IJCAI, AAAI, OSDI, NSDI). In this project we intend to unify the strength of MSR-Asia and MSR-Redmond for performing forward-looking and collaborative research on power management in datacenters, including power-aware virtual machine allocation. The project involves developing power prediction models by leveraging the start-of-the-art machine learning methods, as well as building efficient and reliable allocation systems in large-scale distributed environments.

Neuro-Symbolic Semantic Parsing
for Data Science
点击此处向上滑动阅览
Our cross-lab, inter-disciplinary research team develops AI technology for interactive coding assistance for data science, data analytics, and business process automation. It allows the user to specify their data processing intent in the middle of their workflow using a combination of natural language, input-output examples, and multi-modal UX – and translates that intent into the desired source code. The underlying AI technology integrates our state-of-the-art research in program synthesis, semantic parsing, and structure-grounded natural language understanding. It has the potential to improve productivity of millions of data scientists and software developers, as well as establish new scientific milestones for deep learning over structured data, grounded language understanding, and neuro-symbolic AI.
The research project involves collecting and establishing a novel benchmark dataset for data science program generation, developing novel neuro-symbolic semantic parsing models to tackle this challenge, adapting large-scale pretrained language models to new domains and knowledge bases, as well as publishing in top-tier AI/NLP conferences. We expect the benchmark dataset and the new models to be used in academia as well as in Microsoft products.

Next-Gen Large
Pretrained Language Models
点击此处向上滑动阅览
The goal of this project is to develop game-changing techniques for next-gen large pre-trained language models, including
(1) Beyond UniLM/InfoXLM: novel pre-training frameworks and self-supervised tasks for monolingual and multilingual pre-training to support language understanding, generation and translation tasks;
(2) Beyond Transformers: new model architectures and optimization algorithms for improving training effectiveness and efficiency of extremely large language models;
(3) Knowledge Fusion: new modeling frameworks to fuse massive pre-compiled knowledge into pre-trained models;
(4) Lifelong Self-supervised Learning: mechanisms and algorithms for lifelong (incremental) pre-training. This project extends our existing research and aims to advance SOTA on NLP and AI in general.
