The Microsoft Research-Inria Joint Centre: inventing tomorrow's world, today

Опубликовано 4 августа 2016, 20:06

Founded in 2005, the Microsoft Research-Inria Joint Centre brings together the computer science expertise of Inria (the French National Research Institute for Computer Science and Applied Mathematics), Microsoft Corporation, and the Microsoft Research Laboratory Cambridge. The Center focuses on fundamental, long-term research in computer science, with an emphasis on understanding and applying formal methods, computer vision, machine learning, and privacy. This video provides a glimpse into two research projects: 4D Cardiac Imaging and Mathematical Components. The 4D Cardiac Imaging project combines computer vision and machine learning to view the heart in four dimensions, time being the fourth. This pioneering advancement should help cardiologists make clinical decisions and opens the door to robust retrieval of medical images. The Mathematical Components project is designed to get mathematicians from the chalkboard to the computer. The overall objective is to allow mathematicians to prove their theories via the computer and to help them structure the math so that other mathematicians can build upon it.
