New research indicates that AI agents learn compressible models of data, which don’t have enough space to enable memorization.
How the Verus "program verifier", which automatically checks code against a mathematical specification of its functionality, helps increase security assurance in software projects.
Ten years after we founded the Automated Reasoning Group, mathematical logic has moved from academic research into production services that secure millions of customer workloads — demonstrating that systems can be provably correct, not just probably correct.
PatientAgentBench generates a synthetic patient health record, a realistic clinical vignette, and a patient agent that converses with the AI system under evaluation, to capture what a patient-facing agent actually has to do.
A new chiplet architecture, custom die-to-die connectivity, and support for DDR5-8800 memory and the latest PCIe gen6 interconnects improve performance by 25% for general-purpose and agentic AI workloads.

NAACL 20222022With the growing popularity of deep-learning models, model understanding becomes more important. Much effort has been devoted to demystify deep neural networks for better interpretability. Some feature attribution methods have shown promising results in computer vision, especially the gradient-based methods where effectively smoothing the gradients with reference data is key to a robust and faithful result

NAACL 20222022Self-learning paradigms in large-scale conversational AI agents tend to leverage user feedback in bridging between what they say and what they mean. However, such learning, particularly in Markov-based query rewriting systems have far from addressed the impact of these models on future training where successive feedback is inevitably contingent on the rewrite itself, especially in a continually updating

Nature Machine Intelligence2022Combinatorial optimization problems are pervasive across science and industry. Modern deep learning tools are poised to solve these problems at unprecedented scales, but a unifying framework that incorporates insights from statistical physics is still outstanding. Here we demonstrate how graph neural networks can be used to solve combinatorial optimization problems. Our approach is broadly applicable to

ICDE 20222022Amazon Athena is a serverless, interactive query service that allows efficiently analyzing large volumes of data stored in Amazon S3 using ANSI SQL. Some design choices in the engine, especially those concerning streaming of intermediate results, can result in suboptimal executions for query patterns that have common expressions. In this paper we build upon recent work and introduce new optimizations in

NAACL 20222022Unsupervised word alignments offer a lightweight and interpretable method to transfer labels from high- to low-resource languages, as long as semantically related words have the same label across languages. But such an assumption is often not true in industrial NLP pipelines, where multilingual annotation guidelines are complex and deviate from semantic consistency due to various factors (such as annotation
