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 20182018Extreme multi-label classification (XMC) aims at assigning to an instance the most relevant subset of labels from a colossal label set. There have been some success in formulating the multi-label problem as sequence-to-sequence (Seq2Seq) learning, where the positive class labels of each input instance are used as the corresponding output sequence. Seq2Seq methods, nonetheless, have not yet been scalable

NeurIPS 20182018We consider the teacher-student framework for knowledge transfer, where the goal is to improve learning of a “student” neural network, given a “teacher” neural network pretrained on the same or a similar task. The majority of existing approaches for distilling knowledge from a teacher network to a student network rely on matching either activations or handcrafted features from the teacher network. Instead

NeurIPS 20182018Continual learning aims to enable machine learning models to learn a general solution space for past and future tasks in a sequential manner. Conventional models tend to forget the knowledge of previous tasks while learning a new task, a phenomenon known as catastrophic forgetting. When using Bayesian models in continual learning, knowledge from previous tasks can be retained in two ways: (i) posterior

ICML 20182018Training large neural networks requires distributing learning across multiple workers, where the cost of communicating gradients can be a significant bottleneck. SIGNSGD alleviates this problem by transmitting just the sign of each minibatch stochastic gradient. We prove that it can get the best of both worlds: compressed gradients and SGD-level convergence rate. The relative `1/`2 geometry of gradients

NeurIPS 20182018We present a novel approach to probabilistic time series forecasting that combines state space models with deep learning. By parametrizing a per-time-series linear state space model with a jointly-learned recurrent neural network, our method retains desired properties of state space models such as data efficiency and interpretability, while making use of the ability to learn complex patterns from raw data
