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.

2024The Segment Anything Model (SAM) stands as a foundational framework for image segmentation. While it exhibits remarkable zero-shot generalization in typical scenarios, its advantage diminishes when applied to specialized domains like medical imagery and remote sensing. To address this limitation, this paper introduces Conv-LoRA, a simple yet effective parameter-efficient fine-tuning approach. By integrating

EACL 20242024Users of AI-based virtual assistants and search systems encounter challenges in articulating their intents while seeking information on unfamiliar topics, possibly due to complexity of the user’s intent or the lack of meta-information on the topic. We posit that an iterative suggested question-answering (SQA) conversation can improve the trade-off between the satisfaction of the user’s intent while keeping

2024Vision-Language (VL) models have gained significant research focus, enabling remarkable advances in multimodal reasoning. These architectures typically comprise a vision encoder, a Large Language Model (LLM), and a projection module that aligns visual features with the LLM’s representation space. Despite their success, a critical limitation persists: the vision encoding process remains decoupled from user

2024Sequence-to-sequence vision-language models are showing promise, but their applicability is limited by their inference latency due to their autoregressive way of generating predictions. We propose a parallel decoding sequence-to-sequence vision-language model, trained with a Query-CTC loss, that marginalizes over multiple inference paths in the decoder. This allows us to model the joint distribution of

Suggesting relevant questions to users is an important task in various applications, such as community Q&A or e-commerce websites. To ensure that there is no redundancy in the selected set of candidate questions, it is essential to filter out any near-duplicate questions. Identifying near-duplicate questions has another use case in light of the adoption of Large Language Models (LLMs) – fetching pre-computed
