In this talk, we introduce Microsoft’s fundamental research arm, Microsoft Research, wheremore than 1,100 scientists and engineers push the boundaries of computing in a widespectrum of research disciplines. We also introduce internship stories, including what it is likedoing an overseas internship, why an internship is a useful experience, and how to apply.
In the second half of the talk, we briefly introduce some of the recent research works.
1. High-fidelity 3D reconstruction via photometric approach(Computer Vision)
Recent years have shown tremendous advances on 3D reconstruction in computer visionand sensing technologies. However, most of these techniques are limited to estimate acoarse-scale shape that lacks fine-details of the surface. In this talk, we will discuss aphotometric 3D reconstruction approach with which fine-details are faithfully recovered
using shading cues in the form of surface normal. Specifically, I will talk about recent
photometric stereo techniques that robustly and accurately recover surface normal of ascene that has diverse reflectance properties.
2. Machine Translation Detection from Monolingual Web-Text(Natural Language Processing)Researchers have been mining Web-text for various applications, such as for knowledgebase construction and language modeling. However, burst instances of Web text aregenerated by machine translation indeed. Unfortunately, the quality of such machinetranslations is much lower than that of human-generated text. Applications built on suchnoisy data face serious quality issues. We propose a method for automatically identifying
machine translations from Web-mined data. Unlike previous approaches, our method
only uses monolingual text as input; therefore it is applicable for refining data produced
by a variety of Web-mining activities.
