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.

AutoML Conference 20232023We introduce ordered transfer hyperparameter optimisation (OTHPO), a version of transfer learning for hyperparameter optimisation (HPO) where the tasks follow a sequential order. Unlike for state-of-the-art transfer HPO, the assumption is that each task is most correlated to those immediately before it. This matches many deployed settings, where hyperparameters are retuned as more data is collected; for

KDD 20232023Sequential recommendation aims to model dynamic user behavior from historical interactions. Existing methods rely on either explicit item IDs or general textual features for sequence modeling to understand user preferences. While promising, these approaches still struggle to model cold-start items or transfer knowledge to new datasets. In this paper, we propose to model user preferences and item features

ACL 2023 Workshop on SustaiNLP2023Personalized dialogue agents (DAs) powered by large pre-trained language models (PLMs) often rely on explicit persona descriptions to maintain personality consistency. However, such descriptions may not always be available or may pose privacy concerns. To tackle this bottleneck, we introduce PersonaPKT, a lightweight transfer learning approach that can build persona-consistent dialogue models without explicit

Machine Translation Summit 2023 (MTS)2023The expectations of e-commerce customers include the ability to shop online in their preferred language. Modern e-commerce platforms utilize machine translation to provide multilingual product information at scale. However, maintaining machine translation quality that keeps up with an ever-expanding product information remains an open challenge for industrial machine translation systems. Topical clustering

KDD 2023 Workshop on e-Commerce and NLP (ECNLP 6)2023Pool-based active learning techniques have had success producing multi-class classifiers that achieve high accuracy with fewer labels compared to random labeling. However, in an industrial setting where we often have class-level business targets to achieve (e.g., 95% recall at 95% precision for each class), active learning techniques continue to acquire labels for classes that have already met their targets
