To transform scientific domains, foundation models will require physical-constraint satisfaction, uncertainty quantification, and specialized forecasting techniques that overcome data scarcity while maintaining scientific rigor.
The language AI agents might speak, sharing context without compromising privacy, modeling agentic negotiations, and understanding users’ commonsense policies are some of the open scientific questions that researchers in agentic AI will need to grapple with.
With a novel parallel-computing architecture, a CAD-to-USD pipeline, and the use of OpenUSD as ground truth, a new simulator can explore hundreds of sensor configurations in the time it takes to test just a few physical setups.
From reimagining storage to serverless computing, Aurora continues to push the boundaries of what's possible in database technology.
Amazon VP and distinguished scientist Byron Cook explains how AWS's new Automated Reasoning checks address key challenges in automated reasoning: translating natural to structured language, defining truth, and definitive reasoning.

In the rapidly evolving field of Generative AI, this work takes initial steps towards establishing a systematic approach for comparing image editing methods. Currently, there is a lack of quantitative metrics for evaluating image editing tasks, with new methods being evaluated mostly qualitatively. Our methodology involves three key components: 1) The creation of a large synthetic dataset using GAN-Control

JAMA Network Open2024Question: What is the association between enrollment in a subscription program that offers Amazon Prime members access to 60 common generic prescription drugs for a $5 monthly fee with medication refills, days’ supply and out-of-pocket costs? Findings: In this cohort study comparing 5,003 enrollees to 5,137 controls, before and after enrollment, subscription program enrollment was associated with statistically

2024Many critical machine learning applications in cybersecurity, healthcare and finance, encounter challenges like data privacy, distribution shifts and class imbalance. Often, minority class labels are scarce and may only be present for specific types of samples, which can pose challenges for developing effective models that handle new and unforeseen minority examples at inference time. Additionally, feeding

PRX Quantum2024We take a bottom-up first-principles approach to designing a two-qubit gate between fluxonium qubits for minimal error, speed, and control simplicity. Our proposed architecture consists of two fluxoniums coupled via a resonator. The use of a simple linear coupler has many practical benefits, including the possibility of material optimization for suppressing loss, reducing fabrication complexity, and increasing

ACL 2024 Workshop on Fact Extraction and Verification2024The ability to extract and verify factual information from free-form text is critical in an era where vast amounts of unstructured data are available, yet unreliable sources abound. This paper focuses on enhancing causal deductive reasoning, a key component of factual verification, through the lens of accident investigation, where determining the probable causes of events is paramount. Deductive reasoning
