In a typical data science workflow, the initial steps are to identify relevant data sources and request data from various departments and…

Researchers have developed a new technique based on artificial intelligence and machine learning that should enable clinicians to acquire high-quality images from limited data.

The two positions are not interchangeable—and misperceptions of their roles can hurt teams and compromise productivity.

Tom Mitchell's classic 1997 book

Artificial intelligence promises to use the power of data to solve some of the biggest problems of our time. But can it help us treat a disease as complex as cancer? Artificial intelligence and machine learning are (not that) new

Machine learning is in its infant stage, but it has already proven its role in doing routine tasks in a broad array of industries, including cybersecurity.

The results of many Machine Learning competitions, perhaps most famously the Netflix prize, have demonstrated that a combination of models often yields better performance than any single component …

There is an ocean of books on statistics; where do you start?

A big problem in choosing a beginner book on statistics is that a book may suffer one of two common problems.

It may be a mathematical textbook filled with derivations, special cases, and…

Everyone has heard of machine learning now, and every big company is working on projects around ‘AI’. We know this is a Next Big Thing. But we don’t yet have a settled sense of quite what machine learning means - what it will mean for tech companies or…

In 2017, 7,000 retail businesses ceased operations, and 3,800 retail stores have already announced plans to close in 2018. To survive, retailers must have the right technology to derive the right i…

How to move from quantitative finance to data science and machine learning. Some insights from my experience escaping the city !

Many predict, and warn, that the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Revolution will change the world – and possibly the very essence of mankind.  But society-changin…

The race to become the global leader in artificial intelligence has officially begun.

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…

In December 2017, researchers at Google and MIT published a provocative research paper about their efforts into “learned index structures”…
