As AI is the foundation of next generation Robotics, Machine learning, Data mining, and so on, there are lots of attractions in this space in industry and institutes.

At Microsoft, research plays a crucial role in driving those breakthroughs. The Microsoft research team has influenced virtually every released product in the past three decades, including Cortana, Azure ML, Office, Xbox, HoloLens, Skype, and Windows. Microsoft researchers believe in sharing these fundamentals through Project Oxford and CNTK, and through partnerships with leading universities and research organizations.
