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 20232023Human Activity Recognition (HAR) is widely applied on wearable devices in our daily lives. However, acquiring high-quality wearable sensor data set with ground-truths is challenging due to the high cost in collecting data and necessity of domain experts. In order to achieve generalization from limited data, we study augmentation-based Self-Supervised Learning (SSL) for data from wearable devices. However

ICASSP 20232023In this work, we present Slimmable Neural Networks applied to the problem of small-footprint keyword spotting. We show that slimmable neural networks allow us to create super-nets from Convolutional Neural Networks and Transformers, from which sub-networks of different sizes can be extracted. We demonstrate the usefulness of these models on in-house voice assistant data and Google Speech Commands, and focus

ICRA 20232023This paper introduces Amazon Robotic Manipulation Benchmark (ARMBench), a large-scale, object-centric benchmark dataset for robotic manipulation in the context of a warehouse. Automation of operations in modern warehouses requires a robotic manipulator to deal with a wide variety of objects, unstructured storage, and dynamically changing inventory. Such settings pose challenges in perceiving the identity

ICRA 20232023Autonomous exploration to build a map of an unknown environment is a fundamental robotics problem. However, the quality of the map directly influences the quality of subsequent robot operation. Instability in a simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) system can lead to poor-quality maps and subsequent navigation failures during or after exploration. This becomes particularly noticeable in consumer

EACL 20232023Advances in neural modeling have achieved state-of-the-art (SOTA) results on public natural language processing (NLP) benchmarks, at times surpassing human performance. However, there is a gap between public benchmarks and real-world applications where noise, such as typographical or grammatical mistakes, is abundant and can result in degraded performance. Unfortunately, works which evaluate the robustness
