Hosted by Danielle Perszyk, cognitive scientist at Amazon, the podcast features researchers tackling the hardest problems in agentic AI — from building reliable perception systems to designing training environments that mirror human learning.
The Antibody Developability Benchmark is powered by one of the most diverse antibody datasets in public literature, enabling transparent performance evaluation for AI-guided antibody design.
Challenge pushes teams to demonstrate measurable gains in secure-coding performance while building AI agents that advance real-world utility and reliability at scale.
Initiative will fund over 100 doctoral students researching machine learning, computer vision, and natural-language processing at nine universities.

KDD 2023 Workshop on Deep Learning on Graphs2023Encoder-decoder deep neural networks have been increasingly studied for multi-horizon time series forecasting, especially in real-world applications. However, to forecast accurately, these sophisticated neural forecasters typically rely on a large number of time series examples with substantial history. A rapidly growing topic of interest is forecasting time series which lack sufficient historical data—often

ECOOP 20232023Reliable storage systems must be crash consistent – guaranteed to recover to a consistent state after a crash. Crash consistency is non-trivial as it requires maintaining complex invariants about persistent data structures in the presence of caching, reordering, and system failures. Current programming models offer little support for implementing crash consistency, forcing storage system developers to roll

KDD 2023 International Workshop on Mining and Learning from Time Series (MileTS)2023Ensembles have long been a cornerstone in improving performance by integrating black-box base learners. The primary approach, “stacked generalization” is inherently static, lacking adaptability to changes in input data post-training. This limitation is more pronounced in time series forecasting, where these methods struggle to manage temporal correlations or non-stationarity. Given base learners may perform

ICML 2023 Workshop on Interactive Learning with Implicit Human Feedback2023In this work, we show how to collect and use human feedback to improve complex models in information retrieval systems. Human feedback often improves model performance, yet little has been shown to combine human feedback and model tuning in an end-to-end setup with public resources. To this end, we develop a system called Crowd-Coachable Retriever (CCR),1 where we use crowd-sourced workers and open-source

KDD 2023 International Workshop on Mining and Learning from Time Series (MileTS)2023Predictive maintenance (PdM) is one of the most important machine learning (ML) use cases in a wide range of businesses that own or manufacture machinery. Many PdM applications utilize event logs/sequences that record machine operating conditions and health data. However, industrial scale PdM use cases bring a variety of challenges which makes it difficult to directly apply state-of-the-art models. In this
