HildeKuehne · x · 2026-11-11
Microsoft Research (Redmond) is recruiting research interns to work on agentic modeling and self-improving agents.
Research directions include:
- Self-improving / recursive self-improvement: agents that improve their own policies, tools, and workflows via experimentation and feedback
- Multi-task RL and generalization: training generalist agents that transfer skills across tasks and environments
- Long-horizon agentic RL: better credit assignment, planning, memory, and error recovery
- Scalable training environments: automatically generating diverse environments, tasks, and verifiable feedback
Open to current PhD students.
