CIFAR-10 problems analyze crude 32 x 32 color images to predict which of 10 classes the image is. Here, Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research explains how to get the raw source CIFAR-10 data, convert it from binary to text and save it as a text file that can be used to train a PyTorch neural network classifier.

The Microsoft-initiated OData protocol introduced way back in 2007 is in need of an update, the company said in announcing the next-gen version: OData NxT.
Microsoft has been busy with its object-database mapper tooling for .NET, unveiling a plan for Entity Framework Core 7, along with guidance to port EF6 applications to EF Core.
A chi-square (also called chi-squared) test is a classical statistics technique that can be used to determine if observed-count data matches expected-count data.

Microsoft has open sourced a .NET 5 C# Language Extension for SQL Server, allowing developers to work with relational data in the company's flagship programming language.
In announcing the sixth preview release of EF Core 6.0, Microsoft noted the dev team for the open source, cross-platform data development framework is still playing catch-up with EF6, the traditional object-relational mapping (ORM) framework formerly tied to the Windows-only .NET Framework.
Some six years in the making, an effort to quicken app startup times in Entity Framework Core via compiled models has been realized in the new v6.0 Preview 5.
