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.

ICML 2025 Workshop on Methods and Opportunities at Small Scale (MOSS)2025In text classification, the classical comparison between discriminative and generative classifiers gains renewed relevance in the transformer era, where computational constraints often limit thorough experimentation. Through systematic small-scale experiments on text classification tasks, we investigate how the fundamental "two regimes" phenomenon—where generative classifiers excel with limited data but

2025Since the seminal work of TabPFN, research on tabular foundation models (TFMs) based on in-context learning (ICL) has challenged long-standing paradigms in machine learning. Without seeing any real-world data, models pretrained on purely synthetic datasets generalize remarkably well across diverse datasets, often using only a moderate number of in-context examples. This shifts the focus in tabular machine

SIGMOD/PODS 2025 Workshop on Human-In-the-Loop Data Analytics (HILDA)2025In the classical problem formulation of Text-to-SQL in academia, each question is translated independently of the others into SQL. This differs from the setting in practice, where questions enter the Text-to-SQL system in sequence. Thus, for all but the first few questions, a translation history is available that contains past questions and how they were translated by the system. So far, it has not been

2025Structuring latent representations in a hierarchical manner enables models to learn patterns at multiple levels of abstraction. However, most prevalent image understanding models focus on visual similarity, and learning visual hierarchies is relatively unexplored. In this work, for the first time, we introduce a learning paradigm that can encode user-defined multi-level complex visual hierarchies in hyperbolic

NeurIPS 2025 Workshop on Efficient Reasoning2025We propose Re-FORC, an adaptive reward prediction method that, given a context, enables prediction of the expected future rewards as a function of the number of future thinking tokens. Re-FORC trains a lightweight adapter on reasoning models, demonstrating improved prediction with longer reasoning and larger models. Re-FORC enables: 1) early stopping of unpromising reasoning chains, reducing compute by
