To transform scientific domains, foundation models will require physical-constraint satisfaction, uncertainty quantification, and specialized forecasting techniques that overcome data scarcity while maintaining scientific rigor.
Translating from natural to structured language, defining truth, and definitive reasoning remain topics of central concern in automated reasoning, but Amazon Web Services’ new Automated Reasoning checks help address all of them.
The language AI agents might speak, sharing context without compromising privacy, modeling agentic negotiations, and understanding users’ commonsense policies are some of the open scientific questions that researchers in agentic AI will need to grapple with.
A new dataset with over 238,000 images challenges and advances the state of the art in visual defect detection for complex retail applications.
From reimagining storage to serverless computing, Aurora continues to push the boundaries of what's possible in database technology.

ACL 2024 Workshop on NLP for Conversational AI, Findings of EMNLP 20242024API call generation is the cornerstone of large language models’ tool-using ability that provides access to the larger world. However, existing supervised and in-context learning approaches suffer from high training costs, poor data efficiency, and generated API calls that can be unfaithful to the API documentation and the user’s request. To address these limitations, we propose an output-side optimization

2024By combining natural language understanding, generation capabilities, and breadth of knowledge of large language models with image perception, recent large vision language models (LVLMs) have shown unprecedented visual reasoning capabilities. However, the generated text often suffers from inaccurate grounding in the visual input, resulting in errors such as hallucination of nonexistent scene elements, missing

2024Recent video masked autoencoder (MAE) works have de-signed improved masking algorithms focused on saliency. These works leverage visual cues such as motion to mask the most salient regions. However, the robustness of such visual cues depends on how often input videos match underlying assumptions. On the other hand, natural language description is an information dense representation of video that implicitly

IEEE Sensors2024Continuous back posture monitoring and correction can help to prevent back pains associated with improper back postures. However, existing solutions are expensive, use wearable sensors which usually require regular maintenance, or use cameras which have privacy issues. We introduce Di-Angle, a low-cost, battery-free, and reusable sensor capable of monitoring harmful back angles with high accuracy. Our novel
