To transform scientific domains, foundation models will require physical-constraint satisfaction, uncertainty quantification, and specialized forecasting techniques that overcome data scarcity while maintaining scientific rigor.
Translating from natural to structured language, defining truth, and definitive reasoning remain topics of central concern in automated reasoning, but Amazon Web Services’ new Automated Reasoning checks help address all of them.
The language AI agents might speak, sharing context without compromising privacy, modeling agentic negotiations, and understanding users’ commonsense policies are some of the open scientific questions that researchers in agentic AI will need to grapple with.
A new dataset with over 238,000 images challenges and advances the state of the art in visual defect detection for complex retail applications.
From reimagining storage to serverless computing, Aurora continues to push the boundaries of what's possible in database technology.

JSM 20242024SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) is widely used in machine learning model explanations nowadays, especially for complex and black-box models (deep learning models, ensemble models). SHAP assigns a feature contribution to every record. Users can check each individual record feature contribution or use the mean absolute SHAP values over the entire dataset as the SHAP feature importance. But it’s not uncommon

AutoML 20242024Abstract We introduce TabRepo, a new dataset of tabular model evaluations and predictions. TabRepo contains the predictions and metrics of 1310 models evaluated on 200 classification and regression datasets. We illustrate the benefit of our dataset in multiple ways. First, we show that it allows to perform analysis such as comparing Hyperparameter Optimization against current AutoML systems while also considering

2024We present a novel end-to-end algorithm (PoCo) for the indoor RGB-D place recognition task, aimed at identifying the most likely match for a given query frame within a reference database. The task presents inherent challenges attributed to the constrained field of view and limited range of perception sensors. We propose a new network architecture, which generalizes the recent Context of Clusters (CoCs)

Utilizing Large Language Models (LLM) as chatbots in diverse business scenarios often presents the challenge of maintaining topic continuity. Abrupt shifts in topics can lead to poor user experiences and inefficient utilization of computational resources. In this paper, we present a topic continuity model aimed at assessing whether a response aligns with the initial conversation topic. Our model is built

ASE 20242024As cloud computing gains widespread adoption across various industries, securing cloud resources has become a top priority for cloud providers. However, ensuring configuration security among highly interconnected cloud resources is challenging due to the complexities of resource modeling, correlation analysis, and large-scale security checks. To tackle those practical challenges, we propose Security Invariants
