Fairness in machine learning has predominantly been studied in static classification settings without concern for how decisions change the underlying population over time.

Episode 52 | November 28, 2018 Dr.

In the first part of the talk, I will introduce Multi-agent Generative Adversarial Imitation Learning, a new framework for multi-agent imitation learning for general Markov games, where we build

Microsoft Research AI shares how machine teaching can revolutionize the way we interact with machines in our daily lives.

Efficient policy optimization is fundamental to solving real-world reinforcement learning problems, where agent-environment interactions can be costly.

Social and behavioral interventions are a critical tool for governments and communities to tackle deep-rooted societal challenges such as homelessness, disease, and poverty.

Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB provides 5 well defined operation consistency properties to the clients: strong consistency, bounded staleness, session consistency, consistent prefix, and eventual

Let G be a finite group, and consider the following \emph{product replacement walk} on the set of generating n-tuples of elements of G: randomly pick two of the n elements, say g and h, and replace

The (1d) KPZ universality class contains random growth models, directed random polymers, stochastic Hamilton-Jacobi equations (e.g. the eponymous Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation).

We will discuss stochastic processes, Le Jan-Sznitman cascades, that can be associated with certain nonlinear PDE and how explosion of these cascades can be exploited to prove non-uniques for the

The 20th Northwest Probability Seminar, a one-day mini-conference organized by the University of Washington, the Oregon State University, the University of British Columbia, the University of

Large data sources such as electronic medical records or insurance claims present opportunities to study causal effects of interventions that are difficult to evaluate through experiments.

Stochastic approximation algorithms are used to approximate solutions to fixed point equations that involve expectations of functions with respect to possibly unknown distributions.

Thanks to major advances in neuroscience, we are on the brink of a scientific understanding of how the brain achieves consciousness.

Reinforcement learning carries subtly different meanings in machine learning, cognitive science and neuroscience.

There exists communities of knowledge, and these communities are a distributed, social network of people.

Episode 50 | November 14, 2018 After decades of research in processing audio signals, we’ve reached the point of so-called performance saturation.

Episode 49 | November 7, 2018 In 1998, Microsoft Research opened a small lab in Beijing to expand its research efforts and draw on the immense high-tech talent pool in China.

The Microsoft Soundscape app enables anyone to hear the physical world around them.

Recent advances in machine learning have transformed research in many adjacent disciplines. What are these successes, what are the limitations of ML, and what is its future?

This panel will discuss how computer science intersects with issues of fairness, accountability, transparency and ethics.

This panel will discuss the role of long-term thinking and theory in research: how does it fit into the big picture, and when is it most useful?
