Welcome to Microsoft Research Asia Ph.D. Forum 2017. This forum is organized by Microsoft Research Asia to provide a platform for the outstanding Ph.D. students to exchange insights, gain exposure and learn from each other.<\/p>\n

Over the years, Microsoft Research Asia has been proactively collaborating with the academic community on young research talents fostering, and has anointed nearly four hundred top researchers with the coveted honor of \u201cMicrosoft Research Ph.D. Fellow.\u201d The forum offers Fellows as well as other invited outstanding Ph.D. students only opportunities to learn the latest research achievements from Microsoft Research Asia, but also to explore opportunities with great potential in the near future.<\/p>\n

The forum consists of keynotes, research talks, fireside chat, and technology showcases. Specially, as future leaders, the young Ph.D. students will be invited to share their perception and insights on the societal impacts of AI.<\/p>\n
