Research Area of Focus
- Natural Language Processing
Natural language processing research at Datadog focuses on algorithms at scale and across products. These algorithms are used multiple ways across our product and benefit our user experience through search, investigation tools and conversational bots and more. We are particularly interested in algorithms around query expansion and translation, semantic tasks, generative tasks and retrieval tasks.
- Autonomous decision making agents
Datadog is here to support and help its customers to reduce the time it takes to resolve incidents and outages. The creation of automated agents with the ability to reason and plan as a human being is key to continue our mission. We focus on algorithms that learn from existing examples but will also find new ways of solving problems when given more context.
- AI systems and infrastructure
This field is focused on how to leverage hardware such as GPUs, distributed computing, etc... to train and deploy large models in production with low latency and high concurrency.
- Time series & Anomaly detection
Anomaly detection and time series are the core of Datadog. With hundreds of metrics and petabytes of data coming to Datadog every day, we focus on leveraging state of the art forecasting models, anomaly detection algorithms and outlier detection to alert our customers through monitors, proactive alerts and custom features.
- Large Language Model & wider applications
Large Language Models are opening new doors when it comes to NLP tasks but we want to focus on how their generative power can extend to other machine learning fields such as time series, causal inference, anomaly detection and much more.
- Causal inference
Understanding correlation and causation is key to performing troubleshooting and investigation. We are looking to leverage state of the art causal inference models to make our user experience easier and resolve their problems faster.
