Microsoft Research Asia – Vancouver<\/strong> lab, located in Vancouver, BC, Canada, is an expansion of Microsoft Research Asia<\/a> into the Asia-Pacific region. Our mission is to bridge the gap between general artificial intelligence\u202fand its real-world applications that require specialized expertise. We aim for deep integration of specialized intelligence across various layers of a practical computing infrastructure, including the system and the physical environment, to address real-world constraints and customer requirements with precision and cost-efficiency. Such a tailored approach is realized through a co-evolutionary process that includes interactions between computer systems & infrastructure, humans, and the physical environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
