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.

RSS 20232023Automating warehouse operations can reduce logistics overhead costs, ultimately driving down the final price for consumers, increasing the speed of delivery, and enhancing the resiliency to workforce fluctuations. The past few years have seen increased interest in automating such repeated tasks but mostly in controlled settings. Tasks such as picking objects from unstructured, cluttered piles have only

ICLR 2023 Workshop on Successful Domain Generalization2023Masked Language Models (MLMs) have proven to be effective for second-pass rescoring in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems. In this work, we propose Masked Audio Text Encoder (MATE), a multi-modal masked language model rescorer which incorporates acoustic representations into the input space of MLM. We adopt contrastive learning for effectively aligning the modalities by learning shared representations

ACM FAccT 20232023Warning: This paper contains examples of gender non-affirmative language which could be offensive, upsetting, and/or triggering. Transgender and non-binary (TGNB) individuals disproportionately experience discrimination and exclusion from daily life. Given the recent popularity and adoption of language generation technologies, the potential to further marginalize this population only grows. Although a multitude

ACL 20232023Recent studies show that sentence-level extractive QA, i.e., based on Answer Sentence Selection (AS2), is outperformed by Generationbased QA (GenQA) models, which generate answers using the top-k answer sentences ranked by AS2 models (a la retrieval-augmented generation style). In this paper, we propose a novel training paradigm for GenQA using supervision from automatic QA evaluation models (GAVA). Specifically

ACL 20232023Various Vision-Language Pre-training (VLP) models (e.g., CLIP, BLIP) have sprung up and dramatically improved the benchmarks of public general-domain datasets (e.g., COCO, Flickr30k). Such models typically learn the cross-modal alignment from large-scale well-aligned image-text datasets. Adapting these models to downstream applications in specific domains, such as fashion, requires fine-grained in-domain
