Research Focus: Week of December 18, 2023

Welcome to Research Focus, a series of blog posts that highlights notable publications, events, code/datasets, new hires and other milestones from across the research community at Microsoft. NEW RESEARCH NASerEx: Optimizing Early Exits via AutoML for Scalable Efficient Inference in Big Image Streams Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are essentially stacked transformation functions (layers) that generate progressively complex features/encoding. This makes them universal approximators and allows for unprecedented success in complex tasks. This inferential effectiveness comes at
