This research paper was accepted by the eighth ACM/IEEE Conference on Internet of Things Design and Implementation (IoTDI), which is a premier venue on IoT. The paper describes a framework that leverages cloud resources to execute large deep neural network (DNN) models with higher accuracy to improve the accuracy of models running on edge devices. Leveraging the cloud and edge concurrently The internet is evolving towards an edge-computing architecture to support latency-sensitive DNN workloads in the emerging Internet of  

Microsoft Editor provides AI-powered writing assistance to millions of users around the world. One of its features that writers of all levels and domains rely on is the grammar checker, which detects grammar errors in a user’s writing and offers suggested corrections and explanations of the detected errors. The technology behind grammar checker has evolved significantly since the 1970s, when the first-generation tool was based on simple pattern matching. A major breakthrough occurred in 1997, when Microsoft Word 97 introduced […]

The ways in which people are able to interact with technologies can have a profound effect on a technology’s utility and adoptability. Building computing tools and services around people’s natural styles of work, communication, and play can give technology the value it needs to have meaningful impact. For decades, human-computer interaction (HCI) has examined the relationship between people and computers to help maximize the capabilities of each across a range of experiences and situations. The ACM CHI Conference on Human […]

EuroSys 2023 is the premier systems conference in Europe, and 2023 marks its 18th edition. Sponsored by ACM SIGOPS Europe and hosted May 8 to May 12, the conference covers a wide range of topics, including operating systems, real-time and networked systems, storage and middleware, and distributed, parallel, and embedded computing, as well as their implications for applications and hardware. As in previous years, Microsoft has a strong presence in the conference, drawing from research and production teams in Asia, […]
