As AI models grow larger, they become less insightful, not more. To ensure that they continue to learn, we need to reduce their inference time.
How do you match AI warnings about future events with what actually happens? A KDD test-of-time award recognizes a 2014 approach that modern systems still need.
In-context learning enables a model that can solve forecasting tasks with an arbitrary number of dimensions in a zero-shot manner.
The pandemic turbo-charged retail growth — teams of scientists at Amazon forged a path forward to handle the scale.

February 2, 202610 min readEvery NFL game generates millions of tracking data points from 22 RFID-equipped players. Seventy-five machine learning models running on AWS process that data in under a second, transforming football into a sport where every movement is measured, modeled, and instantly analyzed. -

2024Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown impressive capabilities but also a concerning tendency to hallucinate. This paper presents REFCHECKER, a framework that introduces claim-triplets to represent claims in LLM responses, aiming to detect fine-grained hallucinations. In REFCHECKER, an extractor generates claim-triplets from a response, which are then evaluated by a checker against a reference. We delineate

ACM SoCC 20242024There has been a growing demand for making modern cloud-based data analytics systems cost-effective and easy to use. AI-powered intelligent resource scaling is one such effort, aiming at automating scaling decisions for serverless offerings like Amazon Redshift Serverless. The foundation of intelligent resource scaling lies in the ability to forecast query workloads and their resource consumption accurately

2024Machine unlearning is motivated by desire for data autonomy: a person can request to have their data’s influence removed from deployed models, and those models should be updated as if they were retrained without the person’s data. We show that, counter-intuitively, these updates expose individuals to high-accuracy reconstruction attacks which allow the attacker to recover their data in its entirety, even

NeurIPS 2024 Workshop on Table Representation Learning2024Machine learning (ML) models trained using Empirical Risk Minimization (ERM) often exhibit systematic errors on specific subpopulations of tabular data, known as error slices. Learning robust representation in the presence of error slices is challenging, especially in self-supervised settings during the feature reconstruction phase, due to high cardinality features and the complexity of constructing error

NeurIPS 2024 Workshop on Open-World Agents2024Task-oriented dialogue systems are essential for applications ranging from customer service to personal assistants and are widely used across various industries. However, developing effective multi-domain systems remains a significant challenge due to the complexity of handling diverse user intents, entity types, and domain-specific knowledge across several domains. In this work, we propose DARD (Domain
