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. -

ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (ACM IUI) 20242024Object detection tasks are central to the development of datasets and algorithms in computer vision and machine learning. Despite its centrality, object detection remains tedious and time-consuming due to the inherent interactions that are often associated with drawing precise annotations. In this paper, we introduce Snapper, an interactive and intelligent annotation tool that intercepts bounding box annotations

AAAI 20242024Inferring the 3D structure of a non-rigid dynamic scene from a single moving camera is an under-constrained problem. Inspired by the remarkable progress of neural radiance fields (NeRFs) in photo-realistic novel view synthesis of static scenes, it has also been extended to dynamic settings. Such methods heavily rely on implicit neural priors to regularize the problem. In this work, we take a step back and

INFORMS Journal on Data Science2024Accurate credit ratings are an essential ingredient in the decision-making process for investors, rating agencies, bond portfolio managers, bankers, and policy makers, as well as an important input for risk management and regulation. Credit ratings are traditionally generated from models that use financial statement data and market data, which are tabular (numeric and categorical). Using machine learning

2024Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated superior abilities in tasks such as chatting, reasoning, and question-answering. However, standard LLMs may ignore crucial paralinguistic information, such as sentiment, emotion, and speaking style, which are essential for achieving natural, human-like spoken conversation, especially when such information is conveyed by acoustic cues. We therefore propose Paralinguistics-enhanced

2024Makeup transfer involves transferring makeup from a reference image to a target image while maintaining the target’s identity. Existing methods, which use Generative Adversarial Networks, often transfer not just makeup but also the reference image’s skin tone. This limits their use to similar skin tones and introduces bias. Our solution introduces a skin tone-robust makeup embedding achieved by augmenting
