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.

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. -

SIOP 20242024Correlating assessment scores with performance in role (PIR) metrics provides a powerful form of validation evidence, but is complicated by the absence of PIR metrics for applicants who were not hired. Traditional range restriction perspectives state that the problem is a lack of PIR metrics for low assessment scores, and typical corrections make strong assumptions about how the relationship among incumbents

PQC Standardization Conference 20242024The QC-MDPC code-based KEM BIKE is an alternative candidate for standardization for the NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization Project. Per NIST’s report [2] “The BIKE cryptosystem was initially designed for ephemeral key use but has now been claimed to also support static key use”. BIKE uses the BGF decoder of [9] where its Decoding Failure Rate (DFR) is estimated by means of an extrapolation method

ICLR 2024 Workshop on Secure and Trustworthy Large Language Models (SET LLM)2024In this work, we propose sequence-level certainty as a common theme over hallucination in Knowledge Grounded Dialogue Generation (KGDG). We explore the correlation between the level of hallucination in model responses and two types of sequence-level certainty: probabilistic certainty and semantic certainty. Empirical results reveal that higher levels of both types of certainty in model responses are correlated

2024Document translation poses a challenge for Neural Machine Translation (NMT) systems. Most document-level NMT systems rely on meticulously curated sentence-level parallel data, assuming flawless extraction of text from documents along with their precise reading order. These systems also tend to disregard additional visual cues such as the document layout, deeming it irrelevant. However, real-world documents

MLSys 20242024The Mixture-of-Expert (MoE) technique plays a crucial role in expanding the size of DNN model parameters. However, it faces the challenge of extended all-to-all communication latency during the training process. Existing methods attempt to mitigate this issue by overlapping all-to-all with expert computation. Yet, these methods frequently fall short of achieving sufficient overlap, consequently restricting
