What is the research philosophy of MSR?
The lab in India has three mission objectives — advance the state of the art, rapidly transform innovation into technology and look at future innovations. We don’t work on project agendas. We work on the ‘hottest’ problem in our research areas. For instance, when you live in a part of the world where addresses do not conform to regimented structures, we have a solution designed for you. Robust Location Search works across multiple countries that quickly whittles down a set of potential results until the correct one becomes apparent. The location search engine takes a radically new approach to location search by using keywords to find places, rather than commonly used address rules to answer queries. The primary goal of this project is to explore novel and effective ways to search geospatial data and leverage multi-lingual technologies within maps. The system is tolerant to faulty, incomplete and vague addresses and tries to find the best fit in such a scenario. The research project is
