Adding a pet to your flight sounds like a one-click task, but every click passes through layers of software dating back to the 1960s. Amazon's AGI Lab trains AI agents not to replace these brittle systems but to learn them deeply enough to finally make them work.
Low-rank adaptation, data augmentation, and chain-of-thought reasoning are among the techniques enabling accent-free polyglot outputs, improved expressiveness, and reliable synthesis.
What machine learning theorists learned using AI agents to generate proofs — and what comes next.
As AI agents become more autonomous, the key challenge isn't what they can do; it's how to design the human side of the equation.

FAIM 20252025Conveyors play a crucial role in transporting packages and containers in manufacturing and production facilities. While computer vision has emerged as a promising technology for real-time monitoring of transportation systems, its application in conveyor operations remains in the early stages. This paper introduces an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) framework for real-time conveyor monitoring. We first

AISTATS 2025, NeurIPS 2025 Workshop on Efficient Reasoning2025Speculative decoding is an effective technique for accelerating large language model (LLM) inference by drafting multiple tokens in parallel. However, its practical speedup is often limited by a rigid verification step, which strictly enforces that the accepted token distribution exactly matches that of the target model. This constraint leads to the rejection of many plausible tokens, reducing the acceptance

2025Since the seminal work of TabPFN, research on tabular foundation models (TFMs) based on in-context learning (ICL) has challenged long-standing paradigms in machine learning. Without seeing any real-world data, models pretrained on purely synthetic datasets generalize remarkably well across diverse datasets, often using only a moderate number of in-context examples. This shifts the focus in tabular machine

NeurIPS 2025 Workshop on Multimodal Algorithmic Reasoning2025Large Language Models (LLMs) perform well on short-horizon tasks but struggle with long-horizon, multimodal scenarios that require multi-step reasoning, perception, and adaptive planning. We identify two key challenges in these settings: the difficulty of long-term coordination between planning and execution within single-agent architectures and the inefficiency of indiscriminate visual grounding. To address

2025This paper investigates synthetic data generation strategies in developing generative retrieval models for domain-specific corpora, thereby addressing the scalability challenges inherent in manually annotating in-domain queries. We study the data strategies for a two-stage training framework: in the first stage, which focuses on learning to decode document identifiers from queries, we investigate LLM-generated
