Sophisticated side-channel attacks present new security challenges for cloud providers. Learn how Microsoft is exploring defenses against emerging attacks with principled microarchitectural isolation:
In this issue: RELEVANCE automatically evaluates creative LLM responses; Recyclable vitrimer-based printed circuit boards; Lean Attention: Hardware-aware scalable attention mechanism; WaveCoder: a fine-tuned code LLM; New AutoGen training course.
RASCAL is an untethered robot with a modular design, allowing it to move flexibly along and between evenly spaced storage shelves. Discover how it can address the availability and scalability challenges of existing automated storage and retrieval systems.
From AI and deep learning to innovations in infrastructure, researchers from Microsoft are bridging the gap between architecture, programming languages, and operating systems to advance the state of the art at ASPLOS 2024.
A new deep-learning compiler for dynamic sparsity; Tongue Tap could make tongue gestures viable for VR/AR headsets; Ranking LLM-Generated Loop Invariants for Program Verification; Assessing the limits of zero-shot foundation models in single-cell biology.
Technological innovation that enables scaling of quantum computing underpins the Microsoft Azure Quantum program. In March of this year, we announced our demonstration of the underlying physics required to create a topological qubit—qubits that are theorized to be inherently more stable than existing ones without…

AI is taking on an increasingly important role in many Microsoft products, such as Bing and Office 365. In some cases, it’s being used to power outward-facing features like semantic search in Microsoft Word or intelligent answers in Bing, and deep neural networks (DNNs) are…
“One of the challenges for us as a company, and us as an industry, is that many of the technologies we rely on are beginning to get to the point where either they are at the end, or they’re starting to get to the point…
When you reach out an empty hand to pick an apple from a tree, you’re met with a variety of sensations—the firmness of the apple as you grip it, the resistance from the branch as you tug the apple free, the weight of the apple…
Getting the sound right is a crucial ingredient in natural user interfaces, immersive gaming, realistic virtual and mixed reality, and ubiquitous computing.
Hardware is important, but it’s hard More than ever before, our society depends on an array of interactive devices. We need to provide input to computer systems throughout our day, whether at home, at work, or on the move. And the same computer systems often…
