Main challenge for e-commerce transaction fraud prevention is that fraud patterns are rather dynamic and diverse. This paper introduces two innovative methods, fraud islands (link analysis) and multi-layer machine learning model, which can effectively tackle…

Microsoft Research have posted a video on a project called VROOM for Virtual Robot Overlay for Online Meetings. Microsoft imagines users being able to visit locations via a telepresence robot and being represented remotely via…

Last week, a Dutch court ordered the government in the Netherlands to stop using a machine-learning algorithm for detecting welfare fraud, citing human rights violations. The system, called System Risk Indicator (SyRI) in English, was…

Microsoft has developed a Transformer-based language generation model that it describes as the largest ever made. This week, Microsoft AI & Research announced Turing NLG, which is twice the size of its nearest competitor.

Microsoft has revealed its largest deep learning language model, the Turing Natural Language Generation (T-NLG), which is claimed to have a record-breaking 17 billion parameters. The T-NLG, according to Microsoft, outperforms the largest deep learning models to date: the University of Washington’s…

Microsoft has released a new open-source library called DeepSpeed (opens in new tab), which, when combined with its ‘ZeRO’ module can train 100 billion parameter models without using the resources traditionally associated with that.

Transformer-based language generation models have enabled better conversational applications. Though they still have their shortcomings, which were recently exposed by a team at MIT, researchers continue improving them to build better, larger, and more robust…

There’s a new giant AI language model in town: enter Microsoft’s Turing-NLG system, which apparently contains a whopping 17 billion parameters, making it the largest publicly known model of its class yet.

Microsoft AI & Research today shared what it calls the largest Transformer-based language generation model ever and open-sourced a deep learning library named DeepSpeed to make distributed training of large models easier.

Microsoft has released DeepSpeed, a new deep learning optimization library for PyTorch, that is designed to reduce memory use and train models with better parallelism on existing hardware.
