Building programming languages, tools, and software engineering techniques that make software more reliable, secure, and productive.
The socio-technical nature of the software development process has continually taken a prominent role in how software systems has evolved. Microsoft, as the global leader in software development, is home to the world’s largest developer…
Augmented Mathematical Intelligence (AMI) refers to the ability to solve formally specified problems as reliably as humans can over all classes of such problems that are of interest to our civilization. This includes not only…
Machine learning systems have become increasingly capable of making fast, plausible predictions in diverse situations. Combining this capability with the reliability of symbolic reasoning will produce next generation AI that will empower developers and mathematicians…
As more people are programming for a purpose, they have turned to online communities and resources to grow their developer skills. But there are a few open questions about how people are engaging in these…
Machine learning systems have become increasingly capable of making fast, plausible predictions in diverse situations. Combining this capability with the reliability of symbolic reasoning will produce next generation AI that will empower developers and mathematicians…
This session will showcase a future in which AI automates much of the tedious and error-prone collaborative software development tasks. We take a broad, end-to-end view of software development that consists of not only coding…
This session will introduce current technologies to speed up training of machine learning models and their limitations, and it will also include a presentation of Torchy, a transparent solution to speed up PyTorch workloads through…
Current state-of-the-art vector approximate nearest neighbor search (ANNS) libraries mainly focus on how to do fast high-recall search in memory. However, extremely large-scale vector search scenarios present certain challenges. For example, hundreds of billions of…
The software development process has an extensive list of dependencies for building software, to include build inputs such as source code, open-source software (OSS), software development kits (SDKs), compilers, linkers, and other build tools. Securing…
