Episode 117 | June 3, 2020 – MSR’s New York City lab is home to some of the best reinforcement learning research on the planet but if you ask any of the researchers, they’ll tell you they’re very interested in getting it out of the lab and into the real world. One of those researchers is Dr. Akshay Krishnamurthy and today, he explains how his work on feedback-driven data collection and provably efficient reinforcement learning algorithms is helping to move the RL needle in the real-world direction.

The post Provably efficient reinforcement learning with Dr. Akshay Krishnamurthy appeared first on Microsoft Research.

Introduction
 
Fast.AI is a PyTorch library designed to involve more scientists with different backgrounds to use deep learning. They want people to use deep learning just like using C# or windows. The tool uses very little codes to create and tra… Continue reading Simple and easy distributed deep learning with Fast.AI on Azure ML→

In the first part of this blog post series we learned how to use the IQuantumProcessor interface to write a custom simulator that performs reversible simulation in a quantum circuit that is composed solely using classical reversible operations.
This blog post builds up on the first part of this series to show how to implement more advanced Continue reading Build your own Q# simulator – Part 2: Advanced features for the reversible simulator→

Whew! It feels like Microsoft Build 2020 just ended yesterday, and now we are releasing Visual Studio 2019 v16.7 Preview 2. We hope you enjoyed any virtual sessions you were able to attend.  Our teams certainly enjoyed presenting upcoming features and products to you. Now we look forward to giving you the opportunity to try some of Continue reading Visual Studio 2019 v16.7 Preview 2 Available Today!→

Dev Consultant Brian Culver explores App Registration of .NET Applications in Azure AD.

In my last post, I was testing the Beta Graph API to get my Teams Presence. The only real challenge I found was understanding the permissions and authentication needed to make it work.

Now that we have validated that we are able to query the prese Continue reading App Registration of .NET Application in Azure AD→

Dev Consultant Brian Culver explores Microsoft Teams Presence in .NET.

This journey begins in a Visual Studio 2019 .Net Forms Application.  Then, we need to install the Microsoft Graph client package into our project. So we go here to Install the SDK.

Earlier, we worked in the Microsoft Graph Explorer and completed the App Registra Continue reading Teams Presence Prototype in .NET→

This year, Microsoft Build was delivered as a virtual, global event for participates over 48 continuous hours.  The Azure SQL team had the opportunity to show off what they’re working on – covering everything from Azure SQL Edge to Cloud.

Last time, we considered a library that required a lot of stack space, and critiqued one proposed solution that involved pre-emptively converting every thread to a fiber.
The solution is simply not doing anything at all in the DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH notification. Instead, do the work when the application calls into the library.
For concreteness Continue reading Using fibers to expand a thread’s stack at runtime, part 1→
