- arasmussen 11y agoDo they have similar policies with regards to openness as YC's research lab?
- p4bl0 11y agoIn my experience, MSR researchers publish openly just like people in "regular" academia. I think the main difference is that they are better paid.
- srean 11y agoBut who gets to own the IP ?
- pavpanchekha 11y agoMS
- Qworg 11y agoMSR publishes continuously, both in journals and in white papers. It is part of the evaluation. (Source: I work at MSR)
- raphman_ 11y agoMSR publish a lot but try to get patents on potentially valuable research first.
- semi-extrinsic 11y agoLike literally any research organization or university anywhere today.
- argonaut 11y agoWhich only makes an organization like YC Research even more valuable of an experiment.
- raphman_ 11y agoFWIW, as a researcher at a university, it is only my decision whether I apply for a patent or not. In contrast, patenting inventions is an inherent part of the research workflow at research labs such as MSR, Yahoo Research, etc.
- gone35 11y agoExcept when they close entire research labs overnight with practically no notice, corporate-style: [1] http://spectrum.ieee.org/view-from-the-valley/at-work/innovation/the-last-day-of-microsoft-research-silicon-valley http://spectrum.ieee.org/view-from-the-valley/at-work/innova...

- chimtim 11y agoMSR has published lots of great papers but it has not yet replicated the success of PARC or Bell Labs by any means. I am not sure why this has happened, but it has been pretty obvious to everyone in the research community. Google, which came in with a research agenda pretty late, has more or less single handedly pushed the boundaries of industrial research in the last decade.
- eli_gottlieb 11y agoFunny: back when I was in school, we always used to say that Google publishes mediocre papers with great marketing.
