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.

Fill-in-the-Middle (FIM) has become integral to code language models, enabling generation of missing code given both left and right contexts. However, the current FIM training paradigm, which reorders original training sequences and then performs regular next-token prediction (NTP), often leads to models struggling to generate content that aligns smoothly with the surrounding context. Crucially, while existing

Journal of Physics Communications2024This study investigates the application of machine learning (ML) models for predicting transient responses in ball-impact elastodynamics simulations. We focus on the canonical problem of ball impact on laminated structures, which captures essential physics while maintaining computational tractability. Novel contributions include: (1) development of a temporal multi-resolution strategy for stable long-time

Machine Learning for Health Symposium 20242024Generalist large language models (LLMs), not developed to do particular medical tasks, have achieved widespread use by the public. To avoid medical uses of these LLMs that have not been adequately tested and thus minimize any potential health risks, it is paramount that these models use adequate guardrails and safety measures. In this work, we propose a synthetic medical prompt generation method to evaluate

ECIR 20252024Training sequential recommenders such as SASRec with uniform sample weights achieves good overall performance but can fall short on specific user groups. One such example is popularity bias, where mainstream users receive better recommendations than niche content viewers. To improve recommendation quality across diverse user groups, we explore three Distributionally Robust Optimization(DRO) methods: Group

ASEE 20242024Many students choose to major in engineering to join the community of professional engineers and gain exposure to the field through their college experience [1]. However, research suggests that engineering graduates may not be adequately prepared for the workplace due to the complexities of engineering work [2]. Engineering work involves complexity, ambiguity, and contradictions [3], and developing innovation
