A new dataset with over 238,000 images challenges and advances the state of the art in visual defect detection for complex retail applications.
To transform scientific domains, foundation models will require physical-constraint satisfaction, uncertainty quantification, and specialized forecasting techniques that overcome data scarcity while maintaining scientific rigor.
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.
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.

Time series forecasting is a critical first step in generating demand plans for supply chains. Experiments on time series models typically focus on demonstrating improvements in forecast accuracy over existing/baseline solutions, quantified according to some accuracy metric. There is no doubt that forecast accuracy is important; however in production systems, demand planners often value consistency and

AI and Deep Learning methods have revolutionized many forecasting applications but have not achieved widespread adoption in industry for aggregate forecasting. This paper challenges the AI research community by identifying three critical capabilities that current AI approaches lack: (1) multivariate consistency at scale, (2) explainable and controllable longrun assumptions, and (3) flexible incorporation

This paper proposes using two metrics to quantify the forecastability of time series prior to model development: the spectral predictability score and the largest Lyapunov exponent. Unlike traditional model evaluation metrics, these measures assess the inherent forecastability characteristics of the data before any forecast attempts. The spectral predictability score evaluates the strength and regularity

Multi-horizon and multi-lead time forecasting is a well-established area in machine learning, particularly in demand forecasting, which plays a critical role in a product’s lifecycle. Accurate forecasts support key operational functions, including inventory management, financial planning, promotion planning, and supply chain optimization. Traditional demand forecasting methods typically rely on learning

Large Language Models (LLMs) have recently enabled natural language interfaces that translate user queries into executable SQL, offering a powerful solution for non-technical stakeholders to access structured data. However, one of the limitation that LLMs do not natively express uncertainty makes it difficult to assess the reliability of their generated queries. This paper presents a case study that evaluates
