Microsoft will integrate social, machine learning technologies into Office 365

Once these new technologies begin rolling out later this year, social collaboration will become more of a centerpiece of the more tightly-integrated suite.

Microsoft has built what it is calling the «Office Graph,» which is the machine-learning piece. This Graph analyzes content, user interactions and activity streams and maps the relationships among these technolgies so that it can show the most relevant content appropriate for each user.  

«Graph is what moves us beyond people and docs,» explained Jeff Teper, Microsoft’s Corporate Vice President of Office Server Services. «We want software to learn from an organization and show you what’s relevant to you.» The company is also building a number of new experiences, or apps, that make use of the Office Graph.
