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.

ICASSP 20232023Audio event has a hierarchical architecture in both time and frequency and can be grouped together to construct more abstract semantic audio classes. In this work, we develop a multiscale audio spectrogram Transformer (MAST) that employs hierarchical representation learning for efficient audio classification. Specifically, MAST employs one-dimensional (and two-dimensional) pooling operators along the time

The Web Conference 20232023Product search engines (PSEs) play an essential role in retail websites as they make it easier for users to retrieve relevant products within large catalogs. Despite the continuous progress that has led to increasingly accurate search engines, a limited focus has been given to their performance on queries with negations. Indeed, while we would expect to retrieve different products for the queries “iPhone

ICASSP 20232023End-to-end speech recognition models are improved by incorporating external text sources, typically by fusion with an external language model. Such language models have to be retrained whenever the corpus of interest changes. Furthermore, since they store the entire corpus in their parameters, rare words can be challenging to recall. In this work, we propose augmenting a transducer-based ASR model with

ICASSP 20232023The deployment of Federated Learning (FL) systems poses various challenges such as data heterogeneity and communication efficiency. We focus on a practical FL setup that has recently drawn attention, where the data distribution on each device is not static but dynamically evolves over time. This setup, referred to as Continual Federated Learning (CFL), suffers from catastrophic forgetting, i.e., the undesired

ICASSP 20232023This paper describes Distill-Quantize-Tune (DQT), a pipeline to create viable small-footprint multilingual models that can perform NLU directly on extremely resource-constrained Edge devices. We distill semantic knowledge from a large-sized teacher (transformer-based), that has been trained on huge amount of public and private data, into our Edge candidate (student) model (Bi-LSTM based) and further compress
