DNN-based Detection of
Abnormal User Behaviors
点击此处向上滑动阅览
Are you excited to apply deep neural networks to solve practical problems? Would you like to help secure enterprise computer systems and users across the globe? Cyber-attacks on enterprises are proliferating and oftentimes causing damage to essential business operations. Adversaries may steal credentials of valid users and use their accounts to conduct malicious activities, which abruptly deviate from valid user behavior. We aim to prevent such attacks by detecting abrupt user behavior changes.
In this project, you will leverage deep neural networks to model behaviors of a large number of users, detect abrupt behavior changes of individual users, and determine if changed behaviors are malicious or not. You will be part of a joint initiative between Microsoft Research and the Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (MDE). During your internship, you will get to collaborate with some of the world’s best researchers in security and machine learning.
You would be expected to:
Closely work with researchers in China and Israel towards the research goals of the project
Develop and implement research ideas and conduct experiments to validate them
Report and present findings
Microsoft is an equal opportunity employer.

Reinforcing Pretrained Language Models for Generating Attractive Text Advertisements
点击此处向上滑动阅览
While PLMs have been widely used to generate high-quality texts in a supervised manner (by imitating texts written by humans), they lack a mechanism for generating texts that directly optimize a given reward, e.g., given user feedback like user clicks or a criterion that cannot be directly optimized by using gradient descent. In real-world applications, we usually wish to achieve more than just imitating existing texts. For example, we may wish to generate more attractive texts that lead to increased user clicks, more diversified texts to improve user experience, and more personalized texts that are better tailored to user tastes. Combing RL with PLMs provides a unified solution for all these scenarios, and is the core for machines to achieve human parity in text generation. Such a method has the potential to be applied in a wide range of products, e.g., Microsoft Advertising (text ad generation), Microsoft News (news headline generation), and Microsoft Stores and Xbox (optimizing the description for recommended items).
In this project, we aim to study how pretrained language models (PLMs) can be enhanced by using deep reinforcement learning (RL) to generate attractive and high-quality text ads. While finetuning PLMs have been shown to be able to generate high-quality texts, RL additionally provides a principled way to directly optimize user feedback (e.g., user clicks) for improving attractiveness. Our initial RL method UMPG is deployed in Dynamic Search Ads and published in KDD 2021. We wish to extend the method so that it can work for all pretrained language models (in addition to UNILM) and study how the technique can benefit other important Microsoft Advertising products and international markets.

Intelligent Power-Aware
Virtual Machine Allocationnts
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.
