Fairness-related harms in AI systems: Examples, assessment, and mitigation webinar 

AI has transformed modern life via previously unthinkable feats, from machines that can master the ancient board game Go and self-driving cars to developments we experience more routinely, such as virtual agents and personalized product recommendations. Simultaneously, these new opportunities have raised new challenges—most notably, challenges that have highlighted the potential for AI systems to cause fairness-related harms. Indeed, the fairness of AI systems is one of the key concerns facing society as AI continues…

Internship opportunities: Future of Work – Inclusive Remote and Hybrid Meetings 

The need to accommodate mandatory working from home due to COVID-19 has led many companies to increase their usage of meeting via Microsoft Teams and Zoom. This usage will likely continue even after the pandemic, as many companies re-evaluate their need for fully in-office versus remote and hybrid work. Microsoft Research wants to initial understand the factors impacting inclusivity and diversity in remote meetings and the impact of any changes in meeting practices that are…

Internship opportunities: Future of Work – Inclusive Remote and Hybrid Communities 

The need to accommodate mandatory working from home due to COVID-19 has led many companies to increase their usage of chat-based workspaces such as Microsoft Teams and Slack. This usage will likely continue even after the pandemic, as many companies re-evaluate their need for fully in-office versus remote and hybrid work. Microsoft Research is exploring how companies might improve their use of asynchronous modalities of chat-based workspaces (channels, chat etc.) to create an inclusive community…

Research Intern – Research Assistant 

Many physicists have wondered how the universe chooses its basic laws. One idea is that the laws-or the parameters that characterize them, such as the masses of the different quarks and leptons, can evolve in time. Several mechanisms have been proposed, which can be visualized as a point representing the universe moving on a vast landscape of possible laws. This turns out to be a process that can be efficiently simulated by a deep neural…

Microsoft Vision Model ResNet-50: Pretrained vision model built with web-scale data webinar 

In this webinar, join Junwon Park and Zygmunt Lenyk, to learn how the team built Microsoft Vision Model using multi-task learning and web-supervised datasets. You’ll examine how the model lowers cost in a production setting while achieving state-of-the-art performance by using multi-task learning and optimizing separately for multiple classification tasks, including ImageNet-22k, COCO, and two web-supervised datasets of 40 million image-label pairs collected from image search engines.
