Cambridge Research Intern – CMD Labs JEM Internship

We are looking to hire an intern to join CMD Labs – an applied science team within Microsoft Teams – to work on improving transcription accuracy, with emphasis on named entities (e.g., names of people/products/teams etc.) by leveraging training, fine tuning, and prompt engineering of speech transformer model, as well as LLMs and audio-enabled foundations models as post-processing and re-scoring modules. 
 

Required/Minimum Qualifications:   

• Currently enrolled in a PhD program in Computer Science, Electrical or Computer Engineering, Statistics, or a related field. 

• Practical experience in training, fine-tuning, and prompt engineering of transformer models or LLMs. 

• Practical Python coding experience leveraging PyTorch or TensorFlow or similar framework 

Other Requirements:  

Preferred/Additional Qualifications: 

• Field of research and publications directly related to transcription or the Audio LLMs. 

• Conduct experiments, create and validate metrics, and develop candidate algorithms to improve the accuracy of transcription of named entities and reduce chances of error in downstream LLM-based applications. 

• Collaborate closely with CMD Labs researchers and engineers to leverage existing assets, datasets, and ensure results can be leveraged back into the product. 

• Embody our and
