Azure IoT Edge is powering Microsoft Research’s agricultural monitoring and machine learning platform, called FarmBeats.

Last year in the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, we introduced Eye Control, an experience that allows customers to control Windows using only their eyes. We continue to design with individuals like Steve Gleason in…

Project Brainwave is Microsoft’s principal architecture for serving real-time artificial intelligence (AI) that is used in Bing’s intelligent search, and now offered in Azure and at the edge.

The study found that, indeed, participants gave up their task more quickly when they were shown annoying ads.

Butler Lampson, a computing legend and Microsoft researcher who helped create the world’s first personal computer, tablets, printers and word processing programs, was invited to join The Royal Society (opens in new tab) – the UK’s national…

Every day, thousands of gadgets and widgets whish down assembly lines run by the manufacturing solutions provider Jabil, on their way into the hands of customers. Along the way, an automated optical inspection system scans…

Machine learning algorithms are among those that FPGAs can turbo-charge. And that’s how an FPGA-based architecture for deployed ML models leads to a service called Azure Machine Learning Hardware Accelerated Models.

Microsoft says FPGA acceleration of models can actually be a good bit faster than GPU acceleration, so Azure Machine Learning Hardware Accelerated Models have the potential to create a super-fast AI infrastructure.

An initiative called Project Brainwave lets developers in Microsoft’s data centers use field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), which can be customized even after they’ve been plugged into servers.
