Xinxing Xu is helping shape the work of Microsoft Research Asia – Singapore by turning advanced AI research into real-world solutions. Learn how he collaborates across sectors and disciplines to drive responsible innovation throughout Southeast Asia.
Semantic Telemetry helps LLMs run efficiently, reliably, and in near real-time. Learn about the engineering behind that system, including the trade-offs and lessons learned along the way—from batching strategies to token optimization and orchestration.
Recipient of an ICML 2025 Outstanding Paper Award, CollabLLM improves how LLMs collaborate with users, including knowing when to ask questions and how to adapt tone and communication style to different situations. This approach helps move AI toward more user-centric and trustworthy systems.
The world’s first multimodal, bilingual radiology dataset could reshape the way radiologists and AI systems make sense of X-rays. PadChest-GR, developed by the University of Alicante with Microsoft Research, has the potential to advance research across the field for years to come.
As generative AI becomes more capable and widely deployed, familiar questions from the governance of other transformative technologies have resurfaced. Which opportunities, capabilities, risks, and impacts should be evaluated? Who should conduct evaluations, and at what stages of the technology lifecycle? What tests or measurements…
Microsoft researchers achieved a breakthrough in the accuracy of DFT, a method for predicting the properties of molecules and materials, by using deep learning. This work can lead to better batteries, green fertilizers, precision drug discovery, and more.
New techniques are reimagining how LLMs reason. By combining symbolic logic, mathematical rigor, and adaptive planning, these methods enable models to tackle complex, real-world problems across a variety of fields.
We're rewriting parts of Microsoft's SymCrypt cryptographic library in Rust to improve memory safety and defend against side-channel attacks, enabling formal verification while maintaining backward compatibility via a Rust-to-C compiler.
BenchmarkQED is an open-source toolkit for benchmarking RAG systems using automated query generation, evaluation, and dataset prep. It shows that LazyGraphRAG outperforms standard methods, especially on complex, global queries.
The recent advances in quantum computing offer many advantages—but also challenge current cryptographic strategies. Learn how FrodoKEM could help strengthen security, even in a future with powerful quantum computers.
Magentic-UI, new from Microsoft Research, is an open-source research prototype of a human-centered AI agent, designed to work with people to complete complex, web-based tasks in real time over a web browser.
ADeLe, a new evaluation method, explains what AI systems are good at—and where they’re likely to fail. By breaking tasks into ability-based requirements, it has the potential to provide a clearer way to evaluate and predict AI model performance.
