The add-in uses a facility built into Outlook and Exchange that is more lightweight than information-rights management but is not exposed in the existing UI. The add-in also includes a check for common email errors, such as omitting attachments or subject lines. http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/60860f41-88ab-4bb4-8104-765feca9cfed/default.aspx Thu, 03 May 2012 11:31:59 GMT We provide a simple tool for combining photos with varying exposures into a single, well-balanced, high-dynamic-range photo. http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/da1b7a10-a0e5-4aef-bf7b-78ad5c575d0c/default.aspx Thu, 26 Apr 2012 13:03:13 GMT Strings including before-and-after spelling-correction pairs in English and Japanese, derived automatically by processing keystroke logs collected through Amazon’s Mechanical Turk. http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/4eb8d4a0-9c4e-4891-8846-7437d9dbd869/default.aspx Tue, 24 Apr 2012 23:30:01 GMT Detours is a library for intercepting arbitrary Win32 binary functions on x86 machines. http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/d36340fb-4d3c-4ddd-bf5b-1db25d03713d/default.aspx Thu, 19 Apr 2012 23:13:41 GMT The TLA+ tool kit contains a) a parser and syntax checker for TLA+ specifications; b) a model checker and simulator for a subclass of "executable" TLA+ specifications; c) a program for typesetting TLA+ specifications; and d) a +Cal to TLA+ translator. http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/41b4a0aa-5fad-4118-916a-45ed9fd48bf0/default.aspx Mon, 09 Apr 2012 22:06:28 GMT An integrated development environment for writing and checking TLA+ specifications. http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/0a425fe1-5386-4df7-8f24-55fe59de3bda/default.aspx Mon, 09 Apr 2012 22:05:20 GMT An integrated development environment for writing and checking TLA+ specifications. http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/a22201dc-2717-423c-b328-13a8feedfdbb/default.aspx Mon, 09 Apr 2012 22:04:17 GMT An integrated development environment for writing and checking TLA+ specifications. http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/1ad1d204-3a9e-4d8e-ad52-5809ef1b0b76/default.aspx Mon, 09 Apr 2012 22:02:54 GMT An integrated development environment for writing and checking TLA+ specifications. http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/28ff4ee7-3667-46fe-85f7-0a22af7c9dca/default.aspx Mon, 09 Apr 2012 22:01:42 GMT An integrated development environment for writing and checking TLA+ specifications. http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/c9347c9a-41b1-46b4-895e-00ff1987ceb7/default.aspx Mon, 09 Apr 2012 22:00:40 GMT An integrated development environment for writing and checking TLA+ specifications. http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/717fda8b-8396-42f5-bf45-e3ec42932d36/default.aspx Mon, 09 Apr 2012 21:58:59 GMT Proximal-gradient homotopy is an efficient numerical method for solving the L1-regularized least-squares problem—minimize_x (1/2) ||A*x-b||_2^2 + lambda*||x||_1—where A is an m-by-n matrix, and lambda is a positive regularization parameter. This method is especially effective for sparse recovery applications in which the dimensions satisfies m < n and the optimal solution x* is provably sparse. The implementation in MATLAB can solve the more general problem—minimize_x f(x) + lambda*R(x)—where f(x) is a differentiable convex function and R(x) is a simple convex function whose proximal mapping can be computed efficiently. http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/fc58804a-616a-4d59-a9c1-244ba5b2a5e9/default.aspx Sat, 24 Mar 2012 00:13:26 GMT A still photograph is a limited format for capturing moments that span an interval of time. Video is the traditional method for recording durations of time, but the subjective “moment” that one desires to capture is often lost in the chaos of shaky camerawork, irrelevant background clutter, and noise that dominates most casually recorded video clips. Microsoft Research Cliplets is an interactive app that uses semi-automated methods to give users the power to create “cliplets”—a type of imagery that sits between stills and video from handheld videos. The tool provides a creative lens one can use to focus on important aspects of a moment by performing spatiotemporal compositing and editing on a video-clip input. http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/5bc8e754-772b-41a3-8f03-392a68c6ba6a/default.aspx Fri, 23 Mar 2012 21:21:44 GMT A still photograph is a limited format for capturing moments that span an interval of time.

With Sora, researchers and engineers quickly can prototype new, high-speed wireless physical and media-access-control layers with a minimum of effort. Significant changes for this version include new BRICK model for baseband programming, user mode 802.11a sample, and a full new debug plot tool. http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/ca9a93a1-2a38-4e3d-b87c-b7e8ddc46eae/default.aspx Wed, 21 Mar 2012 22:24:29 GMT Infer.NET Fun turns the simple succinct syntax of F# into an executable modeling language. You can code up the conditional probability distributions of Bayes’ rule using F# array comprehensions with constraints. Write your model in F#. Run it directly to synthesize test datasets and to debug models. Or compile it with the Infer.NET compiler and runtime for efficient statistical inference. http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/21e87d72-782d-4657-82c4-4f77c2b547ca/default.aspx Wed, 21 Mar 2012 18:40:18 GMT The Microsoft Face SDK provides many state-of-the-art algorithms to process face images, such as face detection, alignment, tracking, and cartooning.

It is a native C++ library but comes with a interface to Matlab. A detailed description of all supported methods is available in the archive. http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/b51cf9cc-9297-49d4-af3c-5314b99e4240/default.aspx Wed, 22 Feb 2012 15:10:25 GMT Time Series Foundation (TSF) is an open, .NET platform for exploring and prototyping new algorithms in time series analysis and forecasting. TSF is based on state space model methodology that includes all types of exponential smoothing, some autoregressive algorithms, and innovative algorithms for event detection and calendar event impact prediction. TSF relies on Excel charting and presentation APIs by implementing an Excel interop layer. Numerical and graphical results of time series analysis and forecasting can be put in programmatically generated workbooks with the help of this layer. TSF also offers an Excel add-in that exposes a large subset of the platform's functionality through the Excel ribbon UI. http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/d599b5d2-5a99-4ee5-8c04-c180eb9044d9/default.aspx Thu, 26 Jan 2012 18:59:27 GMT
