Moises joined the MSR Silicon Valley Lab in early 2006. His research interests include probabilistic reasoning (algorithms and representation), graphical models, pattern recognition, statistical induction, machine learning, and artificial  intelligence.  Since 1999, Moises has been focusing his research on the application of statistical pattern recognition and probabilistic reasoning to the diagnosis, forecasting, and control of performance problems and faults in complex networked computer systems. Moises has over 45 publications in his fields of interests and several patents. He was the Program Co-Chair and Conference Chair of the Uncertainty in AI Conference in 2000 and 2001,  the Co-Chair of the ACM Workshop on Self-Managing Systems in 2003, and of the First Workshop on Tackling Computer System Problems with Machine Learning Techniques in 2006. Since 1990 Moises have been a program committee member of conferences related to his research areas.

Prior to Microsoft, Moises held similar positions with Hewlett-Packard Labs, SRI International, and Rockwell Science Center, and  was a principal scientist with Peakstone Corporation (start-up).  Dr. Goldszmidt has a PhD degree in Computer Science from the University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA).
