Multi-Agent Resource Optimization (MARO)
Multi-Agent Resource Optimization (MARO) platform is an instance of Reinforcement Learning as a Service (RaaS) for real-world resource optimization problems.
DoWhy: A library for causal inference
As computing systems are more frequently and more actively intervening in societally critical domains such as healthcare, education and governance, it is critical to correctly predict and understand the causal effects of these interventions. Without…
HAX Playbook
The Human-AI eXperience (HAX) Playbook (opens in new tab) is an interactive tool for generating interaction scenarios to test when designing user-facing AI systems. The Playbook helps you test AI interaction designs before building out…
Clustered Nanopore Reads (CNR) Dataset
DNA storage aims to store information in the form of DNA sequences. This is a research project in Microsoft Research Redmond. This repo contains a dataset of real DNA sequences which can be used for…
Strategically Efficient RL
This project implements exploration mechanisms for reinforcement learning that are specifically designed for non-cooperative multi-agent settings. Exploration mechanisms for single-agent RL (e.g. curiosity) are ill-suited to non-cooperative multi-agent settings, as they fail to account for…
Synthesized Collective Communication Library (SCCL)
The Synthesized Collective Communication Library is a tool for synthesizing collective algorithms tailored to a particular hardware topology. This project creates high-performance collective communication algorithms for the uncommon interconnect topologies connecting AI accelerators inside servers.…
US Broadband Usage Percentages Dataset
We are publishing datasets we developed as part of our efforts with Microsoft’s Airband Initiative to help close the rural broadband gap. The data can be used for the purpose of analyzing, understanding, improving, or…
Fuzzy Encryption Library
The Fuzzy Vault Library will provide functionality to generate and recover user secrets based on passphrases. Recovery of a secret can be done through partial input of the original passphrase as long as it meets…
