Over the past decade, machine learning systems have begun to play a key role in many high-stakes decisions: Who is interviewed for a job? Who is approved for a bank loan? Who receives parole? Who is admitted to a school? Human decision makers are susceptible to many forms of prej … | Continue reading
Today, fresh out of the Microsoft Research Montreal lab, comes an open-source project called TextWorld. TextWorld is an extensible Python framework for generating text-based games. Reinforcement learning researchers can use TextWorld to train and test AI agents in skills such as … | Continue reading
What is the common denominator between the following situations: a doctor choosing among different drugs for a sequence of patients; a website selecting ads for its visitors based on the information it has about them; and a travel agency making recommendations to its customers fo … | Continue reading
To address the growing collaboration needs of our customers, we’re announcing a free version of Microsoft Teams and introducing new AI-infused capabilities in Microsoft 365 to help people connect across their organization and improve their collaboration habits. | Continue reading
Episode 27, June 6, 2018 - Dr. White talks about his “problem-first” approach to research, explains the vital importance of making data understandable for everyone, and shares the story of how a one-week detour from academia turned into an extended tour in Afghanistan, a stint at … | Continue reading
Traditionally, machine learning based approaches to information retrieval have taken the form of supervised learning-to-rank models. Recent advances in other machine learning approaches—such as adversarial learning and reinforcement learning—should find interesting new applicatio … | Continue reading
The Microsoft Research Outreach team has worked extensively with the external research community to enable adoption of cloud-based research infrastructure over the past few years. Through this process, we experienced the ubiquity of Jim Gray’s fourth paradigm of discovery based o … | Continue reading
Episode 7 - Dr. Peyton Jones shares his passion for functional programming research and explains why purity is embarrassing, laziness is cool. | Continue reading

Project Tuva was a Microsoft Research collaboration with Bill Gates that experimented with interactive video using Richard Feynman's Messenger Lectures. | Continue reading
At SIGMOD 2018, a team from Microsoft Research will be presenting a new embedded key-value store called FASTER, described in their paper “FASTER: A Concurrent Key-Value Store with In-Place Updates”. As its name suggests, FASTER makes a major leap forward in terms of supporting fa … | Continue reading

Industry largely underestimates the critical societal need to embody the highest levels of security in every network-connected device—every child’s toy, every household’s appliances, and every industry’s equipment. High development and maintenance costs have limited strong securi … | Continue reading
Windows Autopilot simplifies deployment of new Windows 10 devices by eliminating the cost and complexity associated with creating, maintaining, and loading custom images. Windows Autopilot will revolutionize how new devices get deployed in your organization. | Continue reading
We describe extensions to the Excel spreadsheet that integrate user-defined functions into the spreadsheet grid, rather than treating them as a “bolt-on”. Our case study is unusual in that it highlights the way that programming language insights can be applied to a product not no … | Continue reading
We developed an NLP deep learning model using a one-dimensional convolutional neural network to predict future stock market performance of companies using Azure ML Workbench and Keras with open source for you to replicate. | Continue reading
Use the Quantum Development Kit to develop, simulate, and debug your quantum computing solutions. | Continue reading
We propose EnclaveDB, a database engine that guarantees confidentiality, integrity, and freshness for data and queries. EnclaveDB guarantees these properties even when the database administrator is malicious, when an attacker has compromised the operating system or the hypervisor … | Continue reading
This talk discards hand-wavy pop-science metaphors and answers a simple question: from a computer science perspective, how can a quantum computer outperform a classical computer? Attendees will learn the following: Representing computation with basic linear algebra (matrices and … | Continue reading
With processor speed increasing much more rapidly than memory access speed, memory system optimizations have the potential to significantly improve program performance. Unfortunately, cache-level optimizations often require detailed temporal information about a program’s referenc … | Continue reading
Over the last five years, deep learning-based methods have revolutionised a wide range of applications, for example those requiring understanding of pictures, speech and natural language. For computer scientists, a naturally arising question is whether computers learn to understa … | Continue reading
We developed an Electron-based app using Microsoft Intune cloud service for management and distribution across a broad range of devices. | Continue reading
Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality each has distinct advantages when it comes to bringing digital capabilities into our everyday lives. Everything users see, including the environment and every object can be controlled and changed. This also means that what users see doesn’t n … | Continue reading
We worked with Aveva to build 3DToolkit, a toolkit for creating cloud-based 3D experiences that securely stream to low-powered devices using WebRTC. | Continue reading
Imagine for a moment that you are blind and are navigating the web using a screen reader to hear websites rather than see them. Imagine that the article you have navigated to includes images. To understand the content and significance, you are relying on your screen reader to nar … | Continue reading
