Bing engineers were manually reviewing and updating geolocation error reports to feed them back to the geocoding model.

Manual Report Processing

The TensorFlow implementation in Bing Maps' DeepCAL model was 10x slower than PyTorch.

Deep Learning Bottlenecks

Fixed encoding length in TensorFlow's implementation increased file sizes by 3-4x, which slowed batch processing.

Batching Limitations

A training algorithm in an internal modeling tool was suboptimal.

Algorithm Inefficiency

The TensorFlow input pipeline worked slower than its PyTorch counterpart.

TensorFlow Latency

Microsoft

We eliminated manual query correction efforts by automating Bing’s geocoding query processing pipeline.

100% Automated Error Correction

TensorFlow implementation became 50x faster than its original state.

50x faster TensorFlow

Breaking up large files resulted in enhanced efficiency on 2 GPUs.

2x speedup in batch processing

The underperforming algorithm was reworked for 7x acceleration.

7x faster training runs

TensorFlow and PyTorch input pipelines reached performance parity, with TensorFlow gaining +30% speed on dual CPU.

30% speedup on dual GPU

Users are hesitant to store their data on a third-party platform due to security concerns and regulatory compliance.

Data Privacy & Security 

Integrating with a diverse and growing number of customer databases (SQL, NoSQL, SaaS platforms) required significant engineering effort.

Integration Complexity

The platform needed to handle complex, multi-record submissions with internal dependencies. 

Record Dependencies

Customer databases featured a wide array of primary key strategies (auto-incrementing, natural keys, UUIDs).  

Ambiguous Primary Key Handling

We designed the foundational architecture for the Data Fabric that orchestrates CRUD requests. 

Data Fabric Architecture 

Our team created a type-mapping system to handle a variety of data types and their "flavors" across different database systems.  

Dynamic Type Mapping 

The system effectively handles various primary key generation strategies (auto-generated, natural keys, UUIDs, custom sequences).  

Effective Key Inference 

We simplified the development & deployment of new integrations, so each new integration can be built by one developer in about a month.
