Are you a PhD student interested in generative AI, agentic systems, or economics+AI research? Apply to join us for a research internship this summer at Spotify. lifeatspotify.com/jobs/2025-summ…

@Chef_602 See the four key indicators section in this article ftw.usatoday.com/2024/12/colleg… . The tackle by Taffe seems to be missing one of the four key indicators . Presumably also why Abney II wasn’t penalized for hit on Bond that would have nullified ASU’s pick of Ewers.

It’s been an hour. Credit to Texas for winning. Multiple times this year the targeting rule has impacted an ASU game and I can say without a doubt that I don’t understand the targeting rule.

@LinderShowMiami To me it certainly looks like textbook roughing the passer (a) ball out; (b) first step; (c) second step. I get not calling DPI on a Hail Mary but if the whole point of RTP calls is QB safety that matters on every play.

#Steelers If the NFL would like a clip of what roughing the passer looks like, send them what happened to Russell Wilson on the last throw. If that’s Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs have one more play from 15 yds closer #HereWeGo

Congratulations to @tararootcake for having her dissertation at U-M recognized as exceptionally impactful with the Kuck Dissertation Award for her work on augmenting structure with text. Want to work with her and other researchers at @MSFTResearch ? We are looking for interns!

@QianZhao3 Glad you made it to town for RecSys. It was great catching up!

@flosalim @JakeRenzella Strange to call a ristretto pull stronger. True that it’s more concentrated but it’s sweeter and less caffeinated. I’ve always thought of it as milder, but I can see how the concentration would cause some to say stronger.

@JakeRenzella That’s quite different though. I need the strength of a double ristretto and just the right amount of warmed up milk at the right temperature! 2/3 of the usual latte milk 😅

No luck so far in finding a barista in a Sydney that has any clue about magic. It’s obviously a Melbourne thing. ⬇️ Melbourne coffee culture: those in the know order a ‘magic coffee’. But what is it? theage.com.au/national/victo…

@ylongqi @kdd_news @mengtingwan @LiJundong @bhecht @jteevan @MSFTResearch Congratulations @ylongqi to you and to the whole team!

Honored to receive the Best Paper Award from #KDD2022 @kdd_news Paper link: dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.114… Talk to Jing Ma, @mengtingwan @LiJundong if you are attending KDD! Joint work w/ @bhecht @jteevan @MSFTResearch

@SaleemaAmershi Congrats Saleema!

Honored to receive this along with Cristina Conati. User modeling for intelligent tutoring systems was where I first learned about all the interesting problems at the intersection of #AI and #HCI. Still working on many of these today. Thanks #EDM2022!

Great blog about how Github is collaborating with researchers in academia and Microsoft to make science -based design decisions that improve Developer Communities and Productivity across the world. github.blog/2022-07-20-her… @denaefordrobin @tomzimmermann @nicolefv @MSFTResearch

We can now announce the winner of the Best #SIGIR2022 Hasthag Award goes to #flatsusan

Great to catch up with #flatsusan @SIGIRConf #SIGIR2022

@claclarke Love it! #FlatSusan

You never know who you’ll run into at #SIGIR2022

Enjoying #SIGIR2022 with colleagues in-person (@pnbennett) and remote (@susan_dumais). #FlatSusan #FancyAcademics

@jteevan @susan_dumais If you have ever wanted a picture with Salton Award winner, Technical Fellow, and Director of Microsoft Research Labs at NYC, Montreal, and New England @susan_dumais , stop by the Microsoft booth at #SIGIR2022 to take a selfie with #FlatSusan ! @MSFTResearch

@jteevan kicking off the hybrid technical program of #SIGIR2022 with a keynote on a new and better Future of Work. @MSFTResearch @ACMSIGIR

@jteevan @SIGIRConf I'm having trouble finding the fancy pictures although I think I have some. @susan_dumais just shared this picture she came across though of me at #SIGIR2002 (my first SIGIR). If only I was both young and dressed as a #FancyAcademic in it!

Get ready for #SIGIR2022 in Madrid this July, fellow #FancyAcademics! After living in sweatpants for the past two years, I'm excited to dress to the nines and am looking for inspiration. Share your past @SIGIRConf #FancyAcademic pictures on this thread. 🥂

Great feature on Tom Zimmerman's research in ACM profiles, acm.org/articles/peopl… . One of the researchers at Microsoft Research investigating how AI will reshape the landscape of developer productivity. @tomzimmermann @nicolefv @MSFTResearch
