An authenticated data structure (ADS) is a data structure whose operations can be carried out by an untrusted prover, the results of which a verifier can efficiently check as authentic.

We prove an upper bound for the mixing time of the symmetric exclusion process on any graph G, with any feasible number of particles.

Like many technology companies, Microsoft has a focus on collecting and analysing information in order to better understand and serve consumers’ needs.

Probabilistic programs are standard imperative programs enriched with constructs to generate random values according to a pre-specified distribution.

Understanding how users examine result pages across a broad range of information needs is critical for search engine design.

The Kinect sensor has brought natural and full body interactions to our homes and changed the way we think of and interact with computing devices.

What happens when you search the web for a couple of decades? You find a bunch of stuff.

This talk will provide an overview of Microsoft Research’s activities and focus on what is happening to the way that we interact with computers.

While our eye gaze represents an important medium for perceiving our environment, it also serves as a fast and implicit way for signaling interest in somebody or something.

In 1981, Richard Feynman proposed a device called a “quantum computer” that would take advantage of methods founded on the laws of quantum physics and promise computational speed-ups over classical

We are living in a world of connected devices. These devices can take a number of shapes and forms: from tablet computers and smartphones, to sensors in the home, to embedded and wearable computers.

Biology has been transformed by new technologies that provide detailed descriptions of the molecular changes that occur in diseases.
