The Machine Learning and Optimization (MLO) group in MSR-Redmond performs research in the intersection of optimization, machine learning and systems. Our focus right now is in combining Large Language Model (LLM) technology with optimization for efficient decision making. Example projects include training LLMs for algorithm design (e.g., natural language to integer programming, heuristic design), accelerating optimization algorithms for interactive decision dialogues and using LLMs for sequential and distributed decision-making settings. More broadly, our research leverages theoretical insi...
