As AI models grow larger, they become less insightful, not more. To ensure that they continue to learn, we need to reduce their inference time.
How do you match AI warnings about future events with what actually happens? A KDD test-of-time award recognizes a 2014 approach that modern systems still need.
In-context learning enables a model that can solve forecasting tasks with an arbitrary number of dimensions in a zero-shot manner.
The pandemic turbo-charged retail growth — teams of scientists at Amazon forged a path forward to handle the scale.

February 2, 202610 min readEvery NFL game generates millions of tracking data points from 22 RFID-equipped players. Seventy-five machine learning models running on AWS process that data in under a second, transforming football into a sport where every movement is measured, modeled, and instantly analyzed. -

ISCA 20242024Bosonic quantum computing, based on the infinite dimensional qumodes, has shown promise for various practical applications that are classically hard. However, the lack of compiler optimizations has hindered its full potential. This paper introduces Bosehedral, an efficient compiler optimization framework for (Gaussian) Boson sampling on Bosonic quantum hardware. Bosehedral overcomes the challenge of handling

ICLR 2024 Tiny Papers2024NER (named entity recognition) model aims to recognize the named entities in the keywords. However, when the entities are extremely knowledge intensive, traditional NER model cannot encode all the knowledge in its parameters, thus fails to recognize those entities with high accuracy. In this paper, we propose retrieval augmented NER model (RA-NER) to address this issue. RA-NER retrieves the most relevant

2024This paper introduces a novel problem of automated question generation for courtroom examinations, CourtQG. While question generation has been studied in domains such as educational testing, product description and situation report generation, CourtQG poses several unique challenges owing to its non-cooperative and agenda-driven nature. Specifically, not only the generated questions need to be relevant

AAAI 2024 Workshop on Neuro-Symbolic Learning and Reasoning in the Era of Large Language Models (NucLeaR)2024Recent large language models (LLMs) have enabled tremendous progress in natural-language understanding. However, they are prone to generate confident but nonsensical reasoning chains, a significant obstacle to establishing trust with users. In this work, we aim to incorporate rich human feedback on such incorrect model generated reasoning chains for multi-hop reasoning to improve performance on these tasks

Field Robotics2024For autonomous ground vehicles (AGVs) deployed in suburban neighborhoods and other human-centric environments the problem of localization remains a fundamental challenge. There are well established methods for localization with GPS, lidar, and cameras. But even in ideal conditions these have limitations. GPS is not always available and is often not accurate enough on its own, visual methods have difficulty
