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.

IJCNLP 20172017The ability to automatically and accurately process customer feedback is a necessity in the private sector. Unfortunately, customer feedback can be one of the most difficult types of data to work with due to the sheer volume and variety of services, products, languages, and cultures that comprise the customer experience. In order to address this issue, our team built a suite of classifiers trained on a

ICML 20172017Bayesian optimization (BO) has emerged during the last few years as an effective approach to optimizing black-box functions where direct queries of the objective are expensive. In this paper we consider the case where direct access to the function is not possible, but information about user preferences is. Such scenarios arise in problems where human preferences are modeled, such as A/B tests or recommender

arXiv2017The Moore-Lewis method of “intelligent selection of language model training data” is very effective, cheap, efficient... and also has structural problems. (1) The method defines relevance by playing language models trained on the in-domain and the out-of-domain (or data pool) corpora against each other. This powerful idea – which we set out to preserve – treats the two corpora as the opposing ends of a

IWSLT 20172017We present and apply two methods for addressing the problem of selecting relevant training data out of a general pool for use in tasks such as machine translation. Building on existing work on class-based language difference models [1], we first introduce a cluster-based method that uses Brown clusters to condense the vocabulary of the corpora. Secondly, we implement the cynical data selection method [2

KDD 20172017Randomized algorithms are central to modern machine learning. In the presence of massive datasets, researchers often turn to stochastic optimization to solve learning problems. Of particular interest is stochastic gradient descent (SGD), a first-order method that approximates the learning objective and gradient by a random point estimate. A classical question in learning theory is, if a randomized learner
