Low-rank adaptation, data augmentation, and chain-of-thought reasoning are among the techniques enabling accent-free polyglot outputs, improved expressiveness, and reliable synthesis.
By learning the idiosyncrasies of accumulated layers of legacy systems, AI agents can preserve institutional knowledge and provide a unified interface to a range of services.
As AI agents become more autonomous, the key challenge isn't what they can do; it's how to design the human side of the equation.
What machine learning theorists learned using AI agents to generate proofs — and what comes next.

2026Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards has significantly advanced reasoning with large language models (LLMs) in domains such as mathematics and logic. However, verifiable signals provide only coarse-grained or binary correctness feedback. This limitation results in inefficiencies like overly verbose or repetitive reasoning. Existing length-based solutions (e.g., length penalty) compromise accuracy

2026Large Language Models (LLMs) can serve as world models to enhance agent decision-making in digital environments by simulating future states and predicting action outcomes, potentially eliminating costly trial-and-error exploration. However, this capability is fundamentally limited by LLM's tendency to hallucination and their reliance on static training knowledge, which could lead to compounding errors that

2026Predictive modeling over relational databases (RDBs) powers applications in various domains, yet remains challenging due to the need to capture both cross-table dependencies and complex feature interactions. Recent Relational Deep Learning (RDL) methods automate feature engineering via message passing, while classical approaches like Deep Feature Synthesis (DFS) rely on predefined non-parametric aggregators

BIG.AI@MIT2026Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in real-world applications such as chatbots, writing assistants, and text summarization tools. As these applications become more central to user-facing tasks, robust evaluation of their performance becomes critical, not only for ensuring quality but also for guiding continuous improvement. Traditional evaluation approaches rely on intrinsic metrics

AAAI 2026 Workshop on Shaping Responsible Synthetic Data in the Era of Foundation Models2026Product information extraction is crucial for e-commerce services, but obtaining high-quality labeled datasets remains challenging. We present a systematic approach for generating synthetic e-commerce product data using Large Language Models (LLMs), introducing a controlled modification framework with three strategies: attribute-preserving modification, controlled negative example generation, and systematic
