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.

KDD 2026 Workshop on Machine Learning in Finance2026Financial transaction time series are strongly shaped by recurring external events such as holidays, promotional campaigns, and settlement cycles. In practice, however, anomaly detection systems often evaluate these series without explicitly modeling event context, leading to excessive false positives during predictable event-driven fluctuations. We propose a context-aware framework based on impact-driven

ASE 20262026Complex itemized bills from services such as cloud computing, healthcare, or telecommunications can be difficult to understand because the pricing terms that determine what a customer pays are straightforward, but the eligibility rules that determine whether a given line item, a single charge for a product and quantity, qualifies for a given price are scattered across user guides, service terms, and fine

2026Visual grounding aims to associate free-form textual queries with specific regions in an image. While recent Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have demonstrated promising capabilities in this domain, they primarily excel at object-level grounding and often struggle with part-level grounding—an essential requirement for fine-grained tasks such as robotic manipulation. In this work, we introduce a

2026LLM-based agents struggle to execute complex, multi-step Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) that are fundamental to industrial automation. Existing benchmarks fail to capture the procedural complexity and tool orchestration demands of real-world workflows. We introduce SOP-Bench, a benchmark of 2,000+ tasks from human expert-authored SOPs across 12 business domains (healthcare, logistics, finance, content

KDD 2026 Workshop on Two-sided Marketplace Optimization2026Optimizing online pricing strategy for Amazon Device dependent products is a uniquely challenging topic in dynamic pricing of two-sided marketplaces when balancing the supply side economics and demand responsiveness. To address this challenge, we propose a scalable framework that integrates a hierarchical segmentation model with a sequential learning layer for high-velocity event (HVE) adjustment, to simulate
