Late 2010, Microsoft launched Xbox Kinect, an amazing new depth-sensing camera and a revolution in gaming where your body movements allow you to control the game.

The goal of this workshop is to inform people about open source machine learning systems being developed, aid the coordination of such projects, and discuss future plans.

Although we have successfully created smaller, faster, and cheaper computer devices, several adoption barriers remain to realize the dream of Ubiquitous Computing (Ubicomp).

Approaching the end of Moore's Law: time to reinvent the system stack? Morning Sessions I

You are the greatest information system that you will manage, own, or work with. BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) entered the cultural lexicon of knowledge work sometime in the 2000s.

The recent Dialog State Tracking Challenges have brought into focus the problem of accurately estimating the dialog state throughout a sequence of spoken interactions with a dialog system.

Game designers grapple with an interestingly indirect problem: they directly manipulate games, but they wish to shape the space of play that those games afford.

English text today is often machine printed or displayed on screens using the same letters that were carved in stone and handwritten on wax and parchment over two thousand years ago.

Economists model strategic interactions using the tools of game theory. The concept of Nash Equilibrium is central.

Bitcoin is a disruptive new crypto-currency based on a decentralized open-source protocol which is gradually gaining popularity.

User interface code can be complex and buggy. Moreover, designing user-friendly interfaces can be difficult. One way around this is to reuse interfaces others have written and tested.

In this project, we present an end-to-end system for semi-autonomous flight of a Micro Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) in indoor, GPS-denied, environments.

Feedbacks between climate warming and carbon cycling on land are a major source of uncertainty in future climate projections.

Dealing with data - big and small - has become an integral part of our digital society. Industry, science, politics and individuals are constantly generating data.

This talk will cover how the creation of the WorldWide Telescope to visualize the Universe served as the foundation to explore more complex dynamic data sets and its guided tours will help

Chair: Evelyne Viegas, Microsoft Research Speaker: Surajit Chaudhuri, Distinguished Scientist, Microsoft Research In this talk, I will describe the key secular trends that characterize the field of

As an essential approach to understanding human interactions, emotion classification is a vital component in behavioral studies and health care, as well as in the design of context-aware systems.

Many problems in computer vision, but also in other field such as robotics, control design or economics, can be formulated using systems of polynomial equations.

While GPUs provide low-cost and efficient platforms for accelerating massively parallel applications, tedious tuning is required to maximize performance.

When building storage systems that aim to simultaneously provide robustness, scalability, and efficiency, one faces a fundamental tension, as higher robustness typically incurs higher costs and thus
