The Build on Trainium program is a $110 million credit initiative supporting AI research at 30 universities including Stanford, UC Berkeley, UIUC, UCLA, CMU, and MIT, with a focus on Responsible AI.
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.

EMNLP 2021 Workshop on Evaluations and Assessments of Neural Conversation Systems (EANCS)2021In Natural Language Understanding (NLU) systems in voice assistants, new domains are added on a regular basis. This poses the practical problem of evaluating the performance of NLU models on domains where no manually annotated data is available. In this paper, we present an unsupervised testing method that we call Cross-View Testing (CVT) for ranking multiple intent classification models using only unlabeled

NeurIPS 20212021Partition-based methods are increasingly-used in extreme multi-label classification (XMC) problems due to their scalability to large output spaces (e.g., millions or more). However, existing methods partition the large label space into mutually exclusive clusters, which is sub-optimal when labels have multi-modality and rich semantics. For instance, the label “Apple” can be the fruit or the brand name,

NeurIPS 2021 Workshop on Human Centered AI (HCAI)2021Assessing the quality of a task performed by an Intelligent Voice Assistant (IVA) system such as Alexa, Siri, etc. is vital for maintaining a high bar for Customer Experience (CX) with the system. In this paper, we propose an approach to determine the quality of an IVA utterance using a ‘feedback’ utterance that is interpretable and scalable. Basing the IVA quality assessments on user feedback in a scalable

NeurIPS 20212021Self-supervised representation learning has shown remarkable success in a number of domains. A common practice is to perform data augmentation via hand-crafted transformations intended to leave the semantics of the data invariant. We seek to understand the empirical success of this approach from a theoretical perspective. We formulate the augmentation process as a latent variable model by postulating a

NeurIPS 20212021Modern neural network architectures can leverage large amounts of data to generalize well within the training distribution. However, they are less capable of systematic generalization to data drawn from unseen but related distributions, a feat that is hypothesized to require compositional reasoning and reuse of knowledge. In this work, we present Neural Interpreters, an architecture that factorizes inference
