Microsoft Research is happy to continue hosting this series of Image Recognition (Retrieval) Grand Challenges. Do you have what it takes to build the best image recognition system? Enter these MSR ...

Synthetic biology aims at producing novel biological systems to carry out some desired and well-defined functions. An ultimate dream is to design these systems at a high level of abstraction using ...

Molecular devices made of nucleic acids show great potential for applications ranging from bio-sensing to intelligent nanomedicine. They allow computation to be performed at the molecular scale, while ...

In this talk, I will give an overview of the state of the art in lattice reduction algorithms. I will also describe how lattice reduction may be used to solve standard problems from lattice-based ...

Linearizability: The behavior of concurrent objects is best described through their safety and liveness properties, often referred to as correctness and progress. In this lecture, we examine various ...

Normalisation by Evaluation is a technique to efficiently compute the normal form of, possibly open, lambda terms with respect to beta reduction and rewrite rules. It works by compiling terms into ...
