Hosted by Danielle Perszyk, cognitive scientist at Amazon's AGI Lab, the podcast features researchers tackling the hardest problems in agentic AI — from building reliable perception systems to designing training environments that mirror human learning.
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.

ISCA 20252025Quantum Error Correction (QEC) is essential for fault-tolerant, large-scale quantum computation. However, error drift in qubits undermines QEC performance during long computations, necessitating frequent calibration. Conventional calibration methods disrupt quantum states, requiring system downtime and rendering in situ calibration impractical. To address this challenge, we propose QECali, a novel framework

IEEE CogMI 20252025Operational support is an important component of production software services. Support requests are often emergent and can come in many forms such as customer escalations or unplanned service interruption. Engineers across organizations have been successful in implementing automation to help streamline support processes but many solutions remain in the hands of human operators. A successful strategy to

Winter Simulation Conference 20252025Simulation plays a central role in the strategic planning and operational evaluation of supply chain networks. Within these networks, order fulfillment traditionally requires solving computationally expensive optimization problems in real-time across multiple constraints. For forward-looking simulations evaluating millions of orders, such optimization becomes prohibitively expensive. We develop a neural

CP 20262025In professional sports, a team has clinched the playoffs if they are guaranteed a postseason spot, regardless of the outcomes of any remaining games. As the season progresses, sports fans and other stakeholders are interested in precisely when, and under what conditions, their team will clinch the playoffs. In this paper, we investigate playoff clinching in the context of the National Hockey League (NHL

ACM SIGOPS 2025 Workshop on Hot Topics in Operating Systems2025A metastable failure is a self-sustaining congestive collapse in which a system degrades in response to a transient stressor (e.g., a load surge) but fails to recover after the stressor is removed. These rare but potentially catastrophic events are notoriously hard to diagnose and mitigate, sometimes causing prolonged outages affecting millions of users. Ideally, we would discover susceptibility to metastable
