Machine Learning and Statistics

This project develops techniques that enable AI to use computing infrastructure more efficiently. The goals are to maintain predictive accuracy while reducing carbon emissions, whether embodied in manufactured hardware, or produced from electricity usage when green energy is not available.

EconML is an open source Python package developed by the ALICE team at Microsoft Research that applies the power of machine learning techniques to estimate individualized causal responses from observational or experimental data. The suite of estimation methods provided in EconML…

Microsoft Research New England aims to build the accessibility systems of the future. In particular, we are focused on building systems to better support sign language users and low-vision readers. Accessibility is a major concern for many people with disabilities.…

Water managers in the western United States rely on long-term forecasts of temperature and precipitation to prepare for droughts and other wet weather extremes. To improve the accuracy of these long-term forecasts, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) and the…

State-of-the-art machine learning/AI systems consist of complex pipelines with choices of hyperparameters, models and configuration details that need to be tuned for optimal performance. The AutoML project develops automated methods for optimizing AI pipelines, making AI development more broadly accessible.…
