Addressing these challenges requires a holistic\, cross-stack optimization approach t hat spans models\, AI systems\, infrastructure\, and hardware. M365 Resear ch is an Applied Research group at Microsoft advancing the state-of-the-ar t in AI and Systems research\, organized around Cloud reliability\, AI eff iciency\, and next-gen architecture for Productivity Agents.​ In this ta lk\, we will explore the key bottlenecks and identify opportunities for im proving efficiency across all layers of the technology stack. We further s howcase illustrative projects to reduced cost and enhance scalability of g enerative AI solutions.\n\nBIO: Saravan Rajmohan leads the M365 Research g roup at Microsoft. He is an industry-leading expert and visionary leader i n AI systems\, infrastructure\, generative AI\, and large language model ( LLM) systems\, he holds numerous top-tier publications and patents. Sarava n is focused on building world-class generative AI systems that are effici ent by design\, grounded\, trustworthy\, private\, and most importantly\, personalizable and adaptable across domains. His global team of over 40 re searchers is at the forefront of AI and systems innovation.\n\nChetan Bans al is a Senior Principal Research Manager at Microsoft. He is passionate a bout designing data-driven tools and techniques for step function improvem ent in Cloud Reliability\, Efficiency and Developer Productivity. At Micro soft\, he has built from scratch and is leading an interdisciplinary appli ed research team (AI\, NLP\, Systems\, Software Engineering) of ~20 resear chers and research engineers. His work has directly contributed to signifi cant COGS savings\, reliability gains for 100+ services\, and productivity gains for 1000+ engineers at Microsoft. He has published 50+ papers in to p international conferences and has 25+ patents. His research has been rec ognized with awards at FMCAD\, SoCC and ICSE conferences.\n\nVictor Ruehle is a Senior Principal Research Manager at Microsoft\, where he leads an a pplied research team driving innovations to improve efficiency of generati ve AI scenarios. His work bridges research and product\, with an emphasis on full-stack optimizations across models\, AI systems\, infrastructure\, and hardware. Victor earned his PhD in physics from the Max-Planck-Institu te for Polymer Research in Mainz\, Germany\, in 2010. Before joining Micro soft\, he worked as a physical property specialist in the oil and gas indu stry and as a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Chemistry\, Uni versity of Cambridge.\n\nHost Faculty: Yogesh Simmhan\, CDS\n\n\n\nALL ARE WELCOME CATEGORIES:Events,Talks END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Asia/Kolkata X-LIC-LOCATION:Asia/Kolkata BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20241209T140000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0530 TZOFFSETTO:+0530 TZNAME:IST END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
