  6. Long-Term Basic Research Agility • Long-term basic research group allows a company like Microsoft to respond more rapidly to change • Research provides a reservoir of technology, expertise and people that can be quickly brought to bear: • New technologies • New competitors • New business models • Two Recent Examples • Computer Vision and Machine Learning (ML) • Kinect for Xbox and Windows • Machine Translation (MT) • Haitian Creole → English translator • Produced in less than 5 days

  7. Strong interactions with academia • Active participation in community • Conference committees • Editing of key journals • Professional service – NSF, NRC, DARPA, … • Strong ties with universities • Faculty Summits and worldwide Academic Summits • Technology Centers and Institutes • Extensive visitor and speaker program • Students, faculty, research scientists • Post-docs, sabbaticals, interns • ~300 interns in MSR Redmond in 2009, ~1,000 worldwide • Largest intern program in IT industry (maybe the largest ever)

  8. Microsoft Research |ConnectionsOutreach. Collaboration. Innovation. Division within Microsoft Research focused on partnerships between academia, industry and government to advance computer science, education, and research in fields that rely heavily upon advanced computing Supporting groundbreaking research to help advance human potential and the wellbeing of our planet Developing advanced technologies and services to support every stage of the research process Microsoft Research Connections is committed to interoperability and to providing open access, open tools, and open technology http://research.microsoft.com/collaboration/ 8
