Panel – Engaging with AI: How Human and Machine can Work Together to Shape the Future

We are living in a world that is witnessing an incredible pace of innovation. Despite all the rapid advancements – or perhaps, because of them – top companies are working incredibly hard to find new…

Cyber-security today is focused largely on defending against known attacks. We learn about the latest attack and find a patch to defend against it. Our defenses thus improve only after they have been…

Today, 50% of the world's population lives in cities and the number will grow to 70% by 2050. Cities are the loci of economic activity and the source of innovative solutions to 21st century…

Throughout history, human beings have developed tools and technologies which help civilizations evolve and grow. Computers, and by extension, artificial intelligence, has played important roles in…

MSRA Internship - This is Your Stage

The field of computing is driven by scientific questions, technological innovation and societal demands. There is wonderful interplay—push and pull—among these three drivers. For example, accelerating…

Emotion is vital to physical and mental health - influencing the functioning of almost every organ in our body, including our brain and "how we feel." I have been leading in creating new…

We are seeing a rapid growth of tele-immersive environments over the last decade with applications ranging from health care, training to entertainment. Despite their intensity of user-involved…

The decade-old Internet search result pages, manifested in the document-centric form of "ten blue links," are no longer sufficient for Internet search users. Many studies have shown that…

The focus of computing has been continuously shifting from programs to systems over the past decades. Programs can be represented as relations independent from the physical resources needed for their…

Over the course of my 40+ year research career I have been fortunate to be at or near the center of some of the great changes both in the way computing is done and in how computer science research…

Computers have become pervasive throughout our daily lives. From the use of computing for communication, work, and entertainment to the use of computing in specific domains such as education and…

Computer science has gone far beyond its traditional role of solving real world problems by computer. Over the last 80 years, computer scientists have developed a novel, algorithmic way of…

Many of the activities in our everyday life depend on an array of cards and passwords that we need to provide to confirm who we are. But lose a card, and your ATM will refuse to give you money. Forget…

Computing is already transforming healthcare; but the possibilities remain endless. Hospitals, entire communities are already networked, and Cloud will increasingly play a role, but there are major…

People around the world are concerned that more and more of their personal data is on the Internet, where it's easy to find, copy, and link up with other data. What people most often want is a sense…

One of the most exciting aspects of computer science is that the results of basic research so often end up being applied in completely unexpected ways. At Microsoft Research, we actively seek out…

eHuatuo: Teaching Computer to Read Medical Records

"Big Data" means different things to different people. To me, it means one of four totally different problems: Big volumes of data, but "small" analytics, Big analytics on big…

Since the elegant foundations of transaction processing were established in the mid 70's with the notion of serializability and the codification of the ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation,…

We are living in a world that is witnessing an incredible pace of innovation, where computing research is playing the central role. Ambitions are not just high from a technical perspective, but also…
