Please join us in celebrating the fifth anniversary of Microsoft Research New York City. To mark the occasion, we are holding an all-day workshop spanning four areas of focus of the lab: intelligent machines, ethical machines, computational social science, and the digital economy. Each area is interdisciplinary and depends strongly on the others. Each represents an important component of the future of computing: a future where software learns from data; a future where machine learning is applied in fair, accountable, and transparent ways; a future where fundamental questions about human behavior are answered using data, online experimentation, and algorithms; and a future where markets move online and leverage optimization and machine learning to maximize their benefit. The workshop will feature a mix of short talks, extended discussions, and panels featuring some of the world’s leading scholars in these four areas.
