Using the Neuron Kernel Interface, a Reactor–AWS collaboration tackled the dynamic shapes, memory access patterns, and cache management that make real-time autoregressive diffusion hard—building techniques that generalize across models.
Three new papers from Amazon Bio Discovery address bottlenecks in AI-driven antibody engineering, from benchmarking binding predictors to experimentally validating de novo design.
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.

NeurIPS 20182018Bayesian optimization (BO) is a model-based approach for gradient-free black-box function optimization, such as hyperparameter optimization. Typically, BO relies on conventional Gaussian process (GP) regression, whose algorithmic complexity is cubic in the number of evaluations. As a result, GP-based BO cannot leverage large numbers of past function evaluations, for example, to warm-start related BO runs

NeurIPS 20182018Extreme multi-label classification (XMC) aims at assigning to an instance the most relevant subset of labels from a colossal label set. There have been some success in formulating the multi-label problem as sequence-to-sequence (Seq2Seq) learning, where the positive class labels of each input instance are used as the corresponding output sequence. Seq2Seq methods, nonetheless, have not yet been scalable

NeurIPS 20182018We consider the teacher-student framework for knowledge transfer, where the goal is to improve learning of a “student” neural network, given a “teacher” neural network pretrained on the same or a similar task. The majority of existing approaches for distilling knowledge from a teacher network to a student network rely on matching either activations or handcrafted features from the teacher network. Instead

NeurIPS 20182018Continual learning aims to enable machine learning models to learn a general solution space for past and future tasks in a sequential manner. Conventional models tend to forget the knowledge of previous tasks while learning a new task, a phenomenon known as catastrophic forgetting. When using Bayesian models in continual learning, knowledge from previous tasks can be retained in two ways: (i) posterior

ICML 20182018Training large neural networks requires distributing learning across multiple workers, where the cost of communicating gradients can be a significant bottleneck. SIGNSGD alleviates this problem by transmitting just the sign of each minibatch stochastic gradient. We prove that it can get the best of both worlds: compressed gradients and SGD-level convergence rate. The relative `1/`2 geometry of gradients
