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.

NeurIPS 2020 Workshop on Human in the Loop Dialogue Systems2020Current conversational AI systems aim to understand a set of pre-designed requests and execute related actions, which limits them to evolve naturally and adapt based on human interactions. Motivated by how children learn their first language interacting with adults, this paper describes a new teachable AI system that is capable of learning new language nuggets called concepts, directly from end users using

NeurIPS 2020 The Preregistration Workshop2020We propose a new framework for object detection that guides the model to explicitly reason about translation and rotation invariant object keypoints to boost model robustness. The model first predicts keypoints for each object in the image and then derives bounding-box predictions from the keypoints. While object classification and box regression are supervised, keypoints are learned through self-supervision

MLSys 2021, NeurIPS 2020 Workshop on Machine Learning for Systems2020Virtual machines (VM) form the foundation of modern cloud computing as they help logically abstract per-user compute from shared physical infrastructure. Users of these services require VMs of varying sizes and configurations, which the provider places on a set of physical machines (PMs). VMs on the same physical PM share memory and CPU resources, so a bad packing directly impacts the quality of user experience

NeurIPS 2020 Workshop on Meta-learning2020Bayesian optimization (BO) is among the most effective and widely used blackbox optimization methods. BO proposes solutions according to an explore-exploit trade-off criterion encoded in an acquisition function, many of which are derived from the posterior predictive of a probabilistic surrogate model. Prevalent among these is the expected improvement (EI). Naturally, the need to ensure analytical tractability

NeurIPS 2020 Workshop on Meta-learning2020In many real-world applications, the performance of machine learning models is evaluated not along a single objective, but across multiple, potentially competing ones. For instance, for a model deciding whether to grant or deny loans, it is critical to make sure decisions are fair and not only accurate. As it is often infeasible to find a single model performing best across all objectives, practitioners
