HOMER: Provable Exploration in Reinforcement Learning
Last week at ICML 2020, Mikael Henaff, Akshay Krishnamurthy, John Langford and Dipendra Misra had a paper on a new reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm that solves three key problems in RL: (i) global exploration, (ii) decoding latent dynamics, and (iii) optimizing a given…

HOMER: Provable Exploration in Reinforcement Learning
At ICML 2020, Mikael Henaff, Akshay Krishnamurthy, John Langford and Dipendra Misra published a paper presenting a new reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm called HOMER that addresses three main problems in real-world RL problem: (i) exploration, (ii) decoding latent dynamics, and (iii) optimizing…
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…

Microsoft researchers say NLP bias studies must consider role of social hierarchies like racism
As the recently released GPT-3 and several recent studies demonstrate, racial bias, as well as bias based on gender, occupation, and religion, can be found in popular NLP language models. But a team of AI researchers wants the NLP bias…
Dr. Siddhartha Sen is a Principal Researcher in MSR’s New York City lab, and his research interests are, if not impossible, at least impossible sounding: optimal decision making, universal data structures, and verifiably safe AI. Today, he tells us how…

Dumais receives SIGCHI Lifetime Research Award
A common theme that runs through her work is the importance of understanding and improving information systems from an interdisciplinary and user-centered perspective. She is a co-inventor of Latent Semantic Analysis, a well-known word embedding technique, which was designed to…
