Hosted by Danielle Perszyk, cognitive scientist at Amazon's AGI Lab, the podcast features researchers tackling the hardest problems in agentic AI — from building reliable perception systems to designing training environments that mirror human learning.
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.

2026Traditional phishing website detection relies on static heuristics or reference lists, which lag behind rapidly evolving attacks. While recent systems incorporate large language models (LLMs), they are still prompt-based, deterministic pipelines that underutilize reasoning capability. We present MemoPhishAgent (MPA), a memory-augmented multi-modal LLM agent that dynamically orchestrates phishing-specific

ICLR 2026 Workshop on Navigating and Addressing Data Problems for Foundation Models2026Post-training Large Language Models requires diverse, high-quality data which is rare and costly to obtain, especially in low resource domains and for multiturn conversations. Common solutions are crowdsourcing or synthetic generation, but both often yield low-quality or low-diversity data. We introduce Adversarial Arena for building high quality conversational datasets by framing data generation as an

ACL 2026 Workshop on Advances in Language and Vision Research2026Visual grounding in graphical user interface (GUI) requires accurate localization of UI elements from natural language instructions. Conventional coordinate generation approaches face inherent limitations, including sensitivity to resolution variations and lack of interpretability. Recently, coordinate-free attention-based methods have emerged as a promising alternative, but these methods primarily rely

VLDB 20262026Compilation-based query execution produces optimized machine code per query but introduces a cold-start problem: when the compiled code is not cached, the query stalls during compilation, delaying data processing by up to orders of magnitude relative to the query's execution time. This overhead dominates short-running queries and creates latency variability for both interactive analytics and ETL pipelines

EACL 2026 Industry Track2026Personalized shopping agents must adapt their decisions to different user personas, balancing efficiency, preference alignment, and goal success. Building upon the WebShop dataset and τ2-Bench environment, ShopperBench introduces a persona-guided benchmark for evaluating such adaptive behaviors. ShopperBench augments shopping trajectories with persona-conditioned goals, reasoning rationales, and preference
