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 20232023The development of large datasets for various tasks has driven the success of deep learning models but at the cost of increased label noise, duplication, collection challenges, storage capabilities, and training requirements. In this work, we investigate whether all samples in large datasets contribute equally to better model accuracy. We study statistical and mathematical techniques to reduce redundancies

Statistical Science2023Classical Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs), or A/B tests, are designed to draw causal inferences about a population of units, for example, individuals, plots of land or visits to a website. A key assumption underlying a standard RCT is the absence of interactions between units, or the stable unit treatment value assumption (Ann. Statist. 6 (1978) 34-58). Modem experimentation, however, is often conducted

IntelliSys 20232023Retail customers read through multitude of online product reviews to make confident purchase decisions. To automate this process, we explore and evaluate several state-of-the-art (SOTA) models for summarizing product reviews along three dimensions: a summary product verdict, pros, and cons. To improve the performance of summarization from a large number of reviews per product, we propose FARSum, an efficient

DCC 20232023Motion Compensated Temporal Filtering (MCTF) is a pre-processing approach employed prior to video encoding, for improving the compression efficiency. Prior MCTF designs (e.g. [1]) use pre-defined frame-level quantization parameters (QPs) for different slice types and temporal layers, and operate with a fixed Group of Pictures (GOP) structure. However, commercial encoders can adapt GOP structure based upon

CVPR 20232023We propose an approach to estimate the number of samples required for a model to reach a target performance. We find that the power law, the de facto principle to estimate model performance, leads to large error when using a small dataset (e.g., 5 samples per class) for extrapolation. This is because the log-performance error against the log-dataset size follows a nonlinear progression in the few-shot regime
