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.

LREC 20202020Language-independent tokenisation (LIT) methods that do not require labelled language resources or lexicons have recently gained popularity because of their applicability in resource-poor languages. Moreover, they compactly represent a language using a fixed size vocabulary and can efficiently handle unseen or rare words. On the other hand, language-specific tokenisation (LST) methods have along and established

ICASSP 20202020Acoustic event classification (AEC) and acoustic event detection (AED) refer to the task of detecting whether specific target events occur in audios. As long short-term memory (LSTM) leads to state-of- the-art results in various speech related tasks, it is employed as a popular solution for AEC as well. This paper focuses on investigating the dynamics of LSTM model on AEC tasks. It includes a detailed analysis

ICASSP 20202020Spoken Language Understanding (SLU) systems consist of several machine learning components operating together (e.g. intent classification, named entity recognition and resolution). Deep learning models have obtained state of the art results on several of these tasks, largely attributed to their better modeling capacity. However, an increase in modeling capacity comes with added costs of higher latency and

ICASSP 20202020Spoken Language Understanding (SLU) systems typically consist of a set of machine learning models that operate in conjunction to produce an SLU hypothesis. The generated hypothesis is then sent to downstream components for further action. However, it is desirable to discard an incorrect hypothesis before sending it downstream. In this work, we present two designs for SLU hypothesis rejection modules: (i

ICLR 2020, Microsoft Research Reinforcement Learning Day 20212020This paper introduces Meta-Q-Learning (MQL), a new off-policy algorithm for meta-Reinforcement Learning (meta-RL). MQL builds upon three simple ideas. First, we show that Q-learning is competitive with state-of-the-art meta-RL algorithms if given access to a context variable that is a representation of the past trajectory. Second, a multi-task objective to maximize the average reward across the training
