This dataset provides an estimation of broadband usage in the United States, focusing on how many people have access to broadband and how many are actually using it at broadband speeds. Through data collected by Microsoft from our services, including package size and total time of download, we can estimate the throughput speed of devices connecting to the internet across zip codes and counties.
According to Federal Communications Commission (FCC) estimates, 14.5 million people don't have access to any kind of broadband connection. This data set aims to address this contrast between those with estimated availability but no actual use by providing more accurate usage numbers downscaled to county and zip code levels. Who gets counted as having access is vastly important -- it determines who gets included in public funding opportunities dedicated solely toward closing this digital divide gap. The implications can be huge: millions around this country could remain invisible if these number aren't accurately reported or used properly in decision-making processes.
This dataset includes aggregated information about these locations with less than 20 devices for increased accuracy when estimating Broadband Usage in the United States-- allowing others to use it for developing solutions that improve internet access or label problem areas accurately where no real or reliable connectivity exists among citizens within communities large and small throughout the US mainland.. Please review the license terms before using these data so that you may adhere appropriately with stipulations set forth under Microsoft's Open Use Of Data Agreement v1.0 agreement prior to utilizing this dataset for your needs-- both professional and educational endeavors alike!

How to Use the US Broadband Usage Dataset
This dataset provides broadband usage estimates in the United States by county and zip code. It is ideally suited for research into how broadband connects households, towns and cities. Understanding this information is vital for closing existing disparities in access to high-speed internet, and for devising strategies for making sure all Americans can stay connected in a digital world.
The dataset contains six columns: - County – The name of the county for which usage statistics are provided. - Zip Code (5-Digit) – The 5-digit zip code from which usage data was collected from within that county or metropolitan area/micro area/divisions within states as reported by the US Census Bureau in 2018[2].
- Population (Households) – Estimated number of households defined according to [3] based on data from the US Census Bureau American Community Survey's 5 Year Estimates[4].
- Average Throughput (Mbps)- Average Mbps download speed derived from a combination of data collected anonymous devices connected through Microsoft services such as Windows Update, Office 365, Xbox Live Core Services, etc.[5]
- Percent Fast (> 25 Mbps)- Percentage of machines with throughput greater than 25 Mbps calculated using [6]. 6) Percent Slow (< 3 Mbps)- Percentage of machines with throughput less than 3Mbps calculated using [7].
- Targeting marketing campaigns based on broadband use. Companies can use the geographic and demographic data in this dataset to create targeted advertising campaigns that are tailored to individuals living in areas where broadband access is scarce or lacking.
- Creating an educational platform for those without reliable access to broadband internet. By leveraging existing technologies such as satellite internet, media streaming services like Netflix, and platforms such as Khan Academy or EdX, those with limited access could gain access to new educational options from home.
- Establishing public-private partnerships between local governments and telecom providers need better data about gaps in service coverage and usage levels in order to make decisions about investments into new infrastructure buildouts for better connectivity options for rural communities

This GPS trajectory dataset was collected in (Microsoft Research) Geolife project by 178 users in a period of over four years (from April 2007 to October 2011). A GPS trajectory of this dataset is represented by a sequence of time-stamped points, each of which contains the information of latitude, longitude and altitude. This dataset contains 17,621 trajectories with a total distance of 1,251,654 kilometers and a total duration of 48,203 hours. These trajectories were recorded by different GPS loggers and GPS-phones, and have a variety of sampling rates. 91 percent of the trajectories are logged in a dense representation, e.g. every 1~5 seconds or every 5~10 meters per point.
This dataset recoded a broad range of users’ outdoor movements, including not only life routines like go home and go to work but also some entertainments and sports activities, such as shopping, sightseeing, dining, hiking, and cycling.
Data Format - Trajectory file Every single folder of this dataset stores a user’s GPS log files, which were converted to PLT format. Each PLT file contains a single trajectory and is named by its starting time. To avoid potential confusion of time zone, we use GMT in the date/time property of each point, which is different from our previous release. - PLT format: Line 1…6 are useless in this dataset, and can be ignored. Points are described in following lines, one for each line. Field 1: Latitude in decimal degrees. Field 2: Longitude in decimal degrees. Field 3: All set to 0 for this dataset. Field 4: Altitude in feet (-777 if not valid). Field 5: Date - number of days (with fractional part) that have passed since 12/30/1899. Field 6: Date as a string. Field 7: Time as a string. Note that field 5 and field 6&7 represent the same date/time in this dataset. You may use either of them. Example: 39.906631,116.385564,0,492,40097.5864583333,2009-10-11,14:04:30 39.906554,116.385625,0,492,40097.5865162037,2009-10-11,14:04:35 - Transportation mode labels Possible transportation modes are: walk, bike, bus, car, subway, train, airplane, boat, run and motorcycle. Again, we have converted the date/time of all labels to GMT, even though most of them were created in China. Example: Start Time End TimeTransportation Mode 2008/04/02 11:24:21 2008/04/02 11:50:45 bus 2008/04/03 01:07:03 2008/04/03 11:31:55 train 2008/04/03 11:32:24 2008/04/03 11:46:14 walk 2008/04/03 11:47:14 2008/04/03 11:55:07 car
First, you can regard the label of both taxi and car as driving although we set them with different labels for future usage. Second, a user could label the transportation mode of a light rail as train while others may use subway as the label. Actually, no trajectory can be recorded in an underground subway system since a GPS logger cannot receive any signal there. In Beijing, the light rails and subway systems are seamlessly connected, e.g., line 13 (a light rail) is connected with line 10 and line 2, which are subway systems. Sometimes, a line (like line 5) is comprised of partial subways and partial light rails. So, users may have a variety of understanding in their transportation modes. You can differentiate the real train trajectories (connecting two cities) from the light rail trajectory (generating in a city) according to their distances. Or, just treat them the same.

The word coarse does not mean the information in the Microsoft Access dataset was not corrected for mistakes; it was, but some mistakes and inconsistencies remain, such as with data on age or education. Furthermore, the coarse dataset provides disaggregated information for selected topics, which appear in summary statistics in the clean dataset. For example, in the coarse dataset one can find the different illnesses afflicting a person during the past 14 days whereas in the clean dataset only the total number of illnesses appears.

Background. During 2002-2010, a team of international researchers, surveyors, and translators gathered longitudinal (panel) data on the demography, economy, social relations, health, nutritional status, local ecological knowledge, and emotions of about 1400 native Amazonians known as Tsimane’ who lived in thirteen villages near and far from towns in the department of Beni in the Bolivian Amazon. A report titled “Too little, too late” summarizes selected findings from the study and is available to the public at the electronic library of Brandeis University:

Chapter 4 of the report “Too little, too late” mentioned above describes the motivation and history of the study, the difference between the coarse and clean datasets, and topics which can be examined only with coarse data.
Aims. The aims of this archive are to:
· Make available in Microsoft Access the coarse de-identified dataset [1] for each of the seven yearly surveys (2004-2010) and [2] one Access data based on quarterly surveys done during 2002 and 2003. Together, these two datasets form one longitudinal dataset of individuals, households, and villages.
· Provide guidance on how to link files within and across years, and
· Make available a Microsoft Excel file with a unique identification number to link individuals across years
The datasets in the archive.
· Eight Microsoft Access datasets with data on a wide range of variables. Except for the Access file for 2002-2003, all the other information in each of the other Access files refers to one year. Within any Access dataset, users will find two types of files:
o Thematic files. The name of a thematic file contains the prefix tbl (e.g., 29_tbl_Demography or tbl_29_Demography). The file name (sometimes in Spanish, sometimes in English) indicates the content of the file. For example, in the Access dataset for one year, the micro file tbl_30_Ventas has all the information on sales for that year. Within each micro file, columns contain information on a variable and the name of the column indicates the content of the variable. For instance, the column heading item in the Sales file would indicate the type of good sold. The exac…

Object recognition predominately still relies on many high-quality training examples per object category. In contrast, learning new objects from only a few examples could enable many impactful applications from robotics to user personalization. Most few-shot learning research, however, has been driven by benchmark datasets that lack the high variation that these applications will face when deployed in the real-world. To close this gap, we present the ORBIT dataset, grounded in a real-world application of teachable object recognizers for people who are blind/low vision. We provide a full, unfiltered dataset of 4,733 videos of 588 objects recorded by 97 people who are blind/low-vision on their mobile phones, and a benchmark dataset of 3,822 videos of 486 objects collected by 77 collectors. The code for loading the dataset, computing all benchmark metrics, and running the baseline models is available at https://github.com/microsoft/ORBIT-DatasetThis version comprises several zip files:- train, validation, test: benchmark dataset, organised by collector, with raw videos split into static individual frames in jpg format at 30FPS- other: data not in the benchmark set, organised by collector, with raw videos split into static individual frames in jpg format at 30FPS (please note that the train, validation, test, and other files make up the unfiltered dataset)- *_224: as for the benchmark, but static individual frames are scaled down to 224 pixels.- *_unfiltered_videos: full unfiltered dataset, organised by collector, in mp4 format.

On the behest of the Office of Science and Technology Policy in the White House, six institutions, including ours, have created an open research dataset called COVID-19 Research Dataset (CORD-19) to facilitate the development of question-answering systems that can assist researchers in finding relevant research on COVID-19. As of May 27, 2020, CORD-19 includes more than 100,000 open access publications from major publishers and PubMed as well as preprint articles deposited into medRxiv, bioRxiv, and arXiv. Recent years, however, have also seen question-answering and other machine learning systems exhibit harmful behaviors to humans due to biases in the training data. It is imperative and only ethical for modern scientists to be vigilant in inspecting and be prepared to mitigate the potential biases when working with any datasets. This article describes a framework to examine biases in scientific document collections like CORD-19 by comparing their properties with those derived from the citation behaviors of the entire scientific community. In total, three expanded sets are created for the analyses: 1) the enclosure set CORD-19E composed of CORD-19 articles and their references and citations, mirroring the methodology used in the renowned “A Century of Physics” analysis; 2) the full closure graph CORD-19C that recursively includes references starting with CORD-19; and 3) the inflection closure CORD-19I, that is, a much smaller subset of CORD-19C but already appropriate for statistical analysis based on the theory of the scale-free nature of the citation network. Taken together, all these expanded datasets show much smoother trends when used to analyze global COVID-19 research. The results suggest that while CORD-19 exhibits a strong tilt toward recent and topically focused articles, the knowledge being explored to attack the pandemic encompasses a much longer time span and is very interdisciplinary. A question-answering system with such expanded scope of knowledge may perform better in understanding the literature and answering related questions. However, while CORD-19 appears to have topical coverage biases compared to the expanded sets, the collaboration patterns, especially in terms of team sizes and geographical distributions, are captured very well already in CORD-19 as the raw statistics and trends agree with those from larger datasets.

Our goals with this dataset were to 1) isolate, culture, and identify two fungal life stages of Aspergillus flavus, 2) characterize the volatile emissions from grain inoculated by each fungal morphotype, and 3) understand how microbially-produced volatile organic compounds (MVOCs) from each fungal morphotype affect foraging, attraction, and preference by S. oryzae. This dataset includes that derived from headspace collection coupled with GC-MS, where we found the sexual life stage of A. flavus had the most unique emissions of MVOCs compared to the other semiochemical treatments. This translated to a higher arrestment with kernels containing grain with the A. flavus sexual life stage, as well as a higher cumulative time spent in those zones by S. oryzae in a video-tracking assay in comparison to the asexual life stage. While fungal cues were important for foraging at close-range, the release-recapture assay indicated that grain volatiles were more important for attraction at longer distances. There was no significant preference between grain and MVOCs in a four-way olfactometer, but methodological limitations in this assay prevent broad interpretation. Overall, this study enhances our understanding of how fungal cues affect the foraging ecology of a primary stored product insect. In the assays described herein, we analyzed the behavioral response of Sitophilus oryzae to five different blends of semiochemicals found and introduced in wheat (Table 1). Briefly, these included no stimuli (negative control), UV-sanitized grain, clean grain from storage (unmanipulated, positive control), as well as grain from storage inoculated with fungal morphotype 1 (M1, identified as the asexual life stage of Aspergillus flavus) and fungal morphotype 2 (M2, identified as the sexual life stage of A. flavus). Fresh samples of semiochemicals were used for each day of testing for each assay. In order to prevent cross-contamination, 300 g of grain (tempered to 15% grain moisture) was initially sanitized using UV for 20 min. This procedure was done before inoculating grain with either morphotype 1 or 2. The 300 g of grain was kept in a sanitized mason jar (8.5 D × 17 cm H). To inoculate grain with the two different morphologies, we scraped an entire isolation from a petri dish into the 300 g of grain. Each isolation was ~1 week old and completely colonized by the given morphotype. After inoculation, each treatment was placed in an environmental chamber (136VL, Percival Instruments, Perry, IA, USA) set at constant conditions (30°C, 65% RH, and 14:10 L:D). This procedure was the same for both morphologies and was done every 2 weeks to ensure fresh treatments for each experimental assay. See file list for descriptions of each data file.
