Runtime optimizations and a thorough evaluation process driven by agentic AI help ensure that models written in PyTorch will execute efficiently and reliably on Trainium systems.
Using the Neuron Kernel Interface, a Reactor–AWS collaboration tackled the dynamic shapes, memory access patterns, and cache management that make real-time autoregressive diffusion hard—building techniques that generalize across models.
Three new papers from Amazon Bio Discovery address bottlenecks in AI-driven antibody engineering, from benchmarking binding predictors to experimentally validating de novo design.
New research indicates that AI agents learn compressible models of data, which don’t have enough space to enable memorization.
How the Verus "program verifier", which automatically checks code against a mathematical specification of its functionality, helps increase security assurance in software projects.
Ten years after we founded the Automated Reasoning Group, mathematical logic has moved from academic research into production services that secure millions of customer workloads — demonstrating that systems can be provably correct, not just probably correct.

The collaboration aims to advance research while broadening participation and translating discovery into real-world solutions.
Submissions open October 1 and close on November 4, 2026
The collaboration will support research in robotics, industrial and systems engineering, and aerospace technology while fostering innovation in foundational and emerging technologies.
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.

ACM SIGSPATIAL 20262026Accurate map paths are crucial for routing vehicles, pedestrians, and autonomous systems, yet keeping that data fresh demands continual editing of features and geometry, and labeling of attributes such as surface type and lane count. At scale this is labor-intensive, and each change calls for spatial reasoning and verification that has resisted full automation, keeping a human in the loop. We present MapScout

ACM SIGSPATIAL 20262026Last-mile logistics efficiency largely depends on map data being accurate, fresh, and having high geospatial coverage. Operators must preserve these qualities when migrating between heterogeneous map data providers. Existing work in the literature addresses road-geometry conflation; however, the conflation of road network attributes and their transition relations remains under-studied, especially at a production-level

CIKM 20262026Production search indices operate under strict storage and latency budgets that prevent indexing the full corpus (e.g.: web documents). When only a fraction of documents can be retained, the system must decide which ones to keep. Existing pruning methods make this decision using query-agnostic signals, including lexical quality, embedding magnitude, and corpus centrality or single-feature query-aware heuristics

RecSys 20262026Off-policy evaluation ( OPE) estimates the performance of new recommendation policies using logged data, thus enabling fast, safe and inexpensive iteration prior to costly A/B tests. To evaluate ranking policies, existing OPE estimators all make structural assumptions about user behavior, leading to a spectrum of trade-offs between bias and variance. The recently proposed INTERPOL estimator navigates these

2026RAG systems are increasingly used to summarize what large collections of documents say. A user asks “What do people think about X?” and receives an answer that reads as consensus. But standard top-k retrieval ranks documents by query similarity, not by how faithfully they represent the population, so minority views quietly disappear. Existing fixes fall short. Diversity re-rankers like MMR and DPP spread
