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.

ICCV 20192019We propose a method for learning embeddings for few-shot learning that is suitable for use with any number of shots (shot-free). Rather than fixing the class prototypes to be the Euclidean average of sample embeddings, we allow them to live in a higher-dimensional space (embedded class models) and learn the prototypes along with the model parameters. The class representation function is defined implicitly

ICCV 20192019We introduce a method to generate vectorial representations of visual classification tasks that can be used to reason about the nature of those tasks and their relations. Given a dataset with ground-truth labels and a loss function, we process images through a “probe network” and compute an embedding based on estimates of the Fisher information matrix associated with the probe network parameters. This provides

ICCV 20192019We propose a novel approach for estimating the difficulty and transferability of supervised classification tasks. Unlike previous work, our approach is solution agnostic and does not require or assume trained models. Instead, we estimate these values using an information-theoretic approach: treating training labels as random variables and exploring their statistics. When transferring from a source to a target

KDD AdKDD 20192019We apply and extend recent results in feasible arm identification to quickly find a small set of bidding strategies that can simultaneously meet multiple business objectives. We formulate this as an any-m feasible arm identification problem, a pure exploration multi-armed bandit problem where each arm is a D-dimensional distribution represented by a mean vector. The goal is to identify m feasible arms,meaning

EMNLP 20192019Research in the social sciences and psychology has shown that the persuasiveness of an argument depends not only the language employed, but also on attributes of the source/communicator, the audience, and the appropriateness and strength of the argument’s claims given the pragmatic and discourse context of the argument. Among these characteristics of persuasive arguments, prior work in NLP does not explicitly
