Welcome to Microsoft Research Asia Academic Day 2017. This is one of the workshops hosted by Microsoft Research Asia for our academic partners and researchers in Taiwan, Japan, Singapore, and Hong Kong to share the progress of collaborative research projects, discuss new ideas, and inspire technological innovation.
Over the years, Microsoft Research Asia has been collaborating with academia in Asia in a variety of research areas to advance state-of-the-art research in computer science. Knowledge and data mining research explores new algorithms, tools, and applications to collect, analyze, and mine results for data-intensive business in both the consumer and enterprise sectors. It applies data-mining, machine-learning, and knowledge-discovery techniques to information analysis, organization, retrieval, and visualization, all of which play a central and critical role in the rapid development of AI. Research in multimedia enables users to interact with a computer that understands and uses speech, graphics, and vision; thus allowing people to search for and be immersed in interactive online experiences through multimedia. We have seen tremendous innovations and growth opportunities in robotics and human-computer interactions in the form of hardware and software integration and progress of devices and mobile sensing. It is essential that we have a deep understanding of the digital revolution around us and how to best leverage opportunities to solve more pressing challenges for the benefit of society.
This workshop consists of plenary sessions, break-out sessions, and technology demos and showcases. We will also demonstrate our latest research work on AI along with products such as HoloLens and Microsoft Translator.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
