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.
Audible's ML algorithms connect users directly to relevant titles, reducing the number of purchase steps for millions of daily users.
With a novel parallel-computing architecture, a CAD-to-USD pipeline, and the use of OpenUSD as ground truth, a new simulator can explore hundreds of sensor configurations in the time it takes to test just a few physical setups.
From reimagining storage to serverless computing, Aurora continues to push the boundaries of what's possible in database technology.

In this new LLM-world where users can ask any natural language question, the focus is on the generation of answers with reliable information while satisfying the original intent. LLMs are known to generate multiple versions of answers for the same question, some of which may be better than others. Identifying the most suitable response that adequately addresses the question is non-trivial. In order to tackle

2024The question-answering (QA) capabilities of foundation models are highly sensitive to prompt variations, rendering their performance susceptible to superficial, non-meaning-altering changes. This vulnerability often stems from the model’s preference or bias towards specific input characteristics, such as option position or superficial image features in multi-modal settings. We propose to rectify this bias

2024In this position paper, we argue that human evaluation of generative large language models (LLMs) should be a multidisciplinary undertaking that draws upon insights from disciplines such as user experience research and human behavioral psychology to ensure that the experimental design and results are reliable. The conclusions from these evaluations, thus, must consider factors such as usability, aesthetics

ACL Findings 20242024We show that content on the web is often translated into many languages, and the low quality of these multi-way translations indicates they were likely created using Machine Translation (MT). Multi-way parallel, machine generated content not only dominates the translations in lower resource languages; it also constitutes a large fraction of the total web content in those languages. We also find evidence

Transactions on Machine Learning Research2024Model miscalibration has been frequently identified in modern deep neural networks. Recent work aims to improve model calibration directly through a differentiable calibration proxy. However, the calibration produced is often biased due to the binning mechanism. In this work, we propose to learn better-calibrated models via meta-regularization, which has two components: (1) gamma network (γ-Net), a meta
