Hosted by Danielle Perszyk, cognitive scientist at Amazon's AGI Lab, 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.

ICASSP 20232023We present dual-attention neural biasing, an architecture designed to boost Wake Words (WW) recognition and improve inference time latency on speech recognition tasks. This architecture enables a dynamic switch for its runtime compute paths by exploiting WW spotting to select which branch of its attention networks to execute for an input audio frame. With this approach, we effectively improve WW spotting

ICASSP 20232023Tiny Signal-to-Interpretation (TinyS2I) has been recently introduced as an ultra low-footprint end-to-end spoken language understanding (SLU) model. This architecture is capable of running in ultra resource constrained environments like voice assistant devices, while at the same time reducing latency. In this work, we propose an extension to TinyS2I and train a multilingual system supporting several languages

AAAI 20232023A primary objective of news articles is to establish the factual record for an event, frequently achieved by conveying both the details of the specified event (i.e., the 5 Ws; Who, What, Where, When and Why regarding the event) and how people reacted to it (i.e., reported statements). However, existing work on news summarization almost exclusively focuses on the event details. In this work, we propose the

ICASSP 20232023Combining simple concepts to form structured thoughts and decomposing complex concepts into their constituents is one key characteristic of human cognition. In this work we extract video representations by combining multi-scale processing with compositional constraints, i.e., we constrain the latent space created by the network so that coarse grained video features are composed from a set of fine-grained

ICASSP 20232023Audio event has a hierarchical architecture in both time and frequency and can be grouped together to construct more abstract semantic audio classes. In this work, we develop a multiscale audio spectrogram Transformer (MAST) that employs hierarchical representation learning for efficient audio classification. Specifically, MAST employs one-dimensional (and two-dimensional) pooling operators along the time
