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.

2024The large-scale deployment of robotic manipulation systems in warehouses has highlighted the rare but costly problem of robot-induced object damage. We present a system that uses a classification model to predict whether an object will get damaged during robotic manipulation. The model uses object attributes retrieved from warehouse information systems as well as attributes available at our robotic workcell

Heterogeneous graph neural networks (HGNNs) excel in cap-turing graph topology and structural information. However, they are ineffective in processing the textual components present in nodes and edges and thus producing suboptimal performance in downstream tasks such as node-classification. Additionally, HGNNs lack in their explanatory power and are considered black-box. Although, Large Language models

ISPRS Technical Commission IV Symposium 20242024Digital Twins as virtual representations of industrial assets are being used to assimilate varied sources of data for improved awareness and decision making in operations and process optimisation. This paper explores the integration of IoT sensors into a spatial digital twin called Fuse that Woodside Energy has been building for the assets it operates. We describe the Fuse platform and its knowledge graph

RecSys 20242024For many recommender systems, the primary data source is a his-torical record of user clicks. The associated click matrix is often very sparse, as the number of users × products can be far larger than the number of clicks. Such sparsity is accentuated in cold-start settings, which makes the efficient use of metadata information of paramount importance. In this work, we propose a simple approach to address

2024The sequential process of conceptualization and instantiation is essential to generalizable commonsense reasoning as it allows the application of existing knowledge to unfamiliar scenarios. However, existing works tend to undervalue the step of instantiation and heavily rely on pre-built concept taxonomies and human annotations to collect both types of knowledge, resulting in a lack of instantiated knowledge
