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.

ICML 20182018Faced with distribution shift between training and test set, we wish to detect and quantify the shift, and to correct our classifiers without test set labels. Motivated by medical diagnosis, where diseases (targets), cause symptoms (observations), we focus on label shift, where the label marginal p(y) changes but the conditional p(x|y) does not. We propose Black Box Shift Estimation (BBSE) to estimate the

Interspeech 20172018Phrasing structure is one of the most important factors in increasing the naturalness of text-to-speech (TTS) systems, in particular for long-form reading. Most existing TTS systems are optimized for isolated short sentences, and completely discard the larger context or structure of the text. This paper presents how we have built phrasing models based on data extracted from audiobooks. We investigate how

NAACL 20182018In task-oriented dialog, agents need to generate both fluent natural language responses and correct external actions like database queries and updates. We show that methods that achieve state of the art performance on synthetic datasets, perform poorly in real world dialog tasks. We propose a hybrid model, where nearest neighbor is used to generate fluent responses and Sequence-to-Sequence (Seq2Seq) type

Selecting Machine-translated Data for Quick Bootstrapping of a Natural Language Understanding SystemNAACL 20182018This paper investigates the use of Machine Translation (MT) to bootstrap a Natural Language Understanding (NLU) system for a new language for the use case of a large-scale voice-controlled device. The goal is to decrease the cost and time needed to get an annotated corpus for the new language, while still having a large enough coverage of user requests. Different methods of filtering MT data in order to

NeurIPS 20182018Goal-oriented dialogue systems typically rely on components specifically developed for a single task or domain. This limits such systems in two different ways: If there is an update in the task domain, the dialogue system usually needs to be updated or completely re-trained. It is also harder to extend such dialogue systems to different and multiple domains. The dialogue state tracker in conventional dialogue
