Microsoft Releases MARCO Data Set to Develop More Insightful AI Apps

Capping an AI-themed week at Microsoft, the company released MS MARCO, a data set of 100,000 questions and answers that researchers can use to train their artificial intelligence (AI) systems.

The software maker’s own researchers based MS MARCO, short for Microsoft Machine Reading Comprehension, on anonymized data gleaned from the real-world queries posed to the company’s Bing search engine.
