With a challenging career, keeping

Author: Guo panning Executive Vice President of Microsoft Research Asia: in college access source during the meeting with ear City media will of dialogue

Microsoft Research Asia is Microsoft Corporation in the United States itself created outside the first basic research institutions, and is now the largest overseas Research Institute, from it to report directly to the headquarters of the Institute this point we can see it.

Popular, Microsoft Research Asia is like a big computer Department, in addition we do not take single courses, other activities such as scientific research, academic exchange, training, courses and other activities are the mainstream of Microsoft Research Asia, followed by the school are very much alike. However, there is one point in functions marked with the University's computer systems, sought to put research results and the latest technologies into Microsoft products is one of our work, this is also the special responsibilities of Enterprise Research Institute.

Chinese students ' creativity is very strong, Microsoft Research Asia, I think it's best is innovation.

May be you to the Institute you will find that the Institute has a very relaxed environment, and other places. The staff is when I go to work, you can come to work, and even some staff are reluctant to come to work during the day, they come to work at night. The boss will never ask you to do something, you choose your topic, your ownership of the project's progress. Your boss is there for you, but behind the invisible to support you. For example, if my group did not come to me, I'll be glad that he did not come to me, I will never find him. If he came to me, it shows he has encountered a problem, I'll sit down with him to solve the problem. Maybe you heard here will feel that the researchers are lazy (laugh).

On the other hand, the researchers also worked very hard, very labor can be said to be in Ecstasy.

You may wonder how such a group of people at the same time the two attitudes? on the one hand, they are very lazy and on the other hand they also ecstasy to work, this is an innovative fundamental research institution trait shown. Researchers at the heart of many ideas, if you have 100 ideas, 99 is stupid, and it is very difficult to achieve, but at least these are innovative ideas. So, after over and over again to get ideas for filtering and argues that finally was born out of a useful idea.

At Microsoft Research Asia, you can venture to do two things.

The first thing in the brainstorming, we can together from pole to pole, unrestrained, on a topic of interest, from all different aspects of hard to dig. The second thing might sometimes be too intense discussions and win in the face. However this point you don't have to worry about, because Microsoft Research Asia has a relatively good mood, even if the two men win hoarse, nor is it the two men have what personal resentment, precisely because our relationship is very good, is ready to take himself seriously thinking revealed that really have a lot of creativity it is in this stimulating argument.

Then, when you go through a period of study, your results will be like? it might be Asian State-of-the-art, world-class.

As regards the effect of this study, this requires that the same areas did the same thing for experts to evaluate. For example, you are swimming 100 m breaststroke, maybe there will be tour 100 m breaststroke, former world champion to describe you. Microsoft Research Asia from building homes has been put on top of academic conferences and journals papers as a target. We never to publication number as demand and therefore eliminate junk articles, firmly not to write low level article. Once you provide these internationally renowned Conference papers, will be determined by your peer's top experts to assess the quality of your paper. The assessment process, the most important elements of an inspection is innovative and, of course, an essential element of this research is true, there are no reference, is there any vulnerability also need to check. For example, my own domain is computer graphics, computer graphics are only one top-level meeting called international graphics Conference Siggraph, general annual meeting in Los Angeles, United States each year and only receive during paper, 40 000 people took part in the meeting, from the last three years, we have 7 article, 7 pages, 9 part is the general election, roughly 9% of all papers, visible our researchers can make world-class research.

Many people asked me: why Microsoft can attract talents, the most important attraction? I want to keep people at three points, the first one is the cause, the second is money left, the third is feelings remain.

Ultimately, the most important thing is to keep people cause. So how to keep people with career? I think it is important not to let the researchers felt that his work did not challenge. You want to help him discover new problems and new challenges, so he is always full of challenges.

I feel that research in this area now do enough, even I feel that will never do enough to dare to take risks also is not large enough.

As we now though many are successful, but I hope to do some project really is that we had a lot of enthusiasm, eat a lot of bitter, walked many detours or even have made a lot of frustration. Because only the insurance risk is greatest, the challenge is greatest. Also since undergone dramatic failure would be a great breakthrough, and win huge success.
