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.
Amazon VP and distinguished scientist Byron Cook explains how AWS's new Automated Reasoning checks address key challenges in automated reasoning: translating natural to structured language, defining truth, and definitive reasoning.

Reasoning and planning with large language models in code development (survey for KDD 2024 tutorial)2024Large Language Models (LLMs) are revolutionizing the field of code development by leveraging their deep understanding of code patterns, syntax, and semantics to assist developers in various tasks, from code generation and testing to code understanding and documentation. In this survey, accompanying our proposed lecture-style tutorial for KDD 2024, we explore the multifaceted impact of LLMs on code development

2024Large Language Models (LLMs) tend to be unreliable in the factuality of their answers. To address this problem, NLP researchers have proposed a range of techniques to estimate LLM’s confidence over facts. However, due to the lack of a systematic comparison, it is not clear how the different methods compare to one another. To fill this gap, we present a survey and empirical comparison of estimators of factual

Resource, Conservation and Recycling2024The Circular Economy (CE) has been proposed as a strategy to promote the efficient use of resources, maximizing the benefits derived from materials and products through value recovery strategies, and minimizing waste generation. However, ambiguity remains in defining what makes a product circular and its characteristics when adapting the CE concept for application at the product level. More clarity about the

FORC 20242024We study the problem of collecting a cohort or set that is balanced with respect to sensitive groups when group membership is unavailable or prohibited from use at deployment time. Specifically, our deployment-time collection mechanism does not reveal significantly more about the group membership of any individual sample than can be ascertained from base rates alone. To do this, we study a learner that

2024How do we transfer the relevant knowledge from ever larger foundation models into small, task-specific downstream models that can run at much lower costs? Standard transfer learning using pre-trained weights as the initialization transfers limited information and commits us to often massive pre-trained architectures. This procedure also precludes combining multiple pre-trained models that learn complementary
