Microsoft Research is proud to support the US-wide National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Big Data Regional Innovation Hubs (BD Hubs) program by awarding $3M in Microsoft Azure cloud computing credits.

Episode 65 | February 27, 2019 If you’ve ever wondered why, in the age of the internet, we still don’t hold our elections online, you need to spend more time with Dr.

The term “software engineering” was first used in the title of a 1968 conference organized by NATO, at which academics and industry professionals met and agreed that software needed more engineering

Can computation amplify our ability to achieve complex collective goals?

In classic supervised machine learning, a learning agent behaves as a passive observer: it receives examples from some external environment which it has no control over and then makes predictions.

A selector maps a set (in some set system) to an element in that set.

As the availability of data for language learning grows, the role of linguistic structure is under scrutiny.

In today’s world of interactive computing, web services need to achieve low latency for almost all user requests (e.g., low 99-th percentile latency).

Rev.

Episode 64 | February 20, 2019 Humans are unique in their ability to learn from, understand the world through and communicate with language… Or are they? Perhaps not for long, if Dr.

Traditional virtual reality (VR) mainly focuses on visual feedback, which is not accessible for people with visual impairments.

Given that emotion is a key element of human interaction, enabling artificial agents with the ability to reason about affect is a key stepping stone towards a future in which technological agents

Episode 53 | December 5, 2018 Dr. Sébastien Bubeck explains the difficulty of the multi-armed bandit problem in the context of a parameter- and data-rich online world.

From booking air tickets to analyzing astronomy datasets, database queries are pervasive in people’s work and life. However, reasoning database queries automatically is not easy.

Fast growth of the computation cost associated with training and testing of deep neural networks (DNNs) inspired various acceleration techniques.

Watch a demonstration of the Machine Teaching tool Platform for Interactive Concept Learning (PICL).
