Technological advancement has always been driven by the need to solve real-world problems, whether social or scientific. Today, computing research and technology continue to provide novel approaches to meeting such challenges. From using analysis to assist with development and algorithms for handling elections and detecting malware, to the potential of the digital home and natural user interfaces, software is experiencing rapid change, and being at the heart of that change is tremendously exciting. With the expansion of the Internet and increased use of social media; malware detection, crowdsourcing, and social search are major topics that are coming to the fore.
The 2012 Microsoft Research Faculty Summit united academic researchers, educators, and Microsoft researchers, product group engineers, and architects to explore these and other new opportunities and challenges in computer science research.
Past Summit events:
Faculty Summit 2022, Faculty Summit 2021, Faculty Summit 2019, Faculty Summit 2018, Faculty Summit 2017, Faculty Summit 2016, Faculty Summit 2015, Faculty Summit 2014, Faculty Summit 2013, Faculty Summit 2011, Faculty Summit 2010, Faculty Summit 2009
On-Demand Streaming Video
For the first time this year, we streamed the Faculty Summit live on the web. These sessions are now available on the On-demand tab.
Streamed live sessions included the keynotes from the Faculty Summit as well as engaging interviews with scientific and academic researchers who discussed their work on some of today’s top computer science and research challenges.
During the virtual event, viewers had the opportunity to ask questions and share ideas with Microsoft researchers, academic researchers, and scientists in real time on Twitter by using the hashtag #FacSumm.
