New research indicates that AI agents learn compressible models of data, which don’t have enough space to enable memorization.
How the Verus "program verifier", which automatically checks code against a mathematical specification of its functionality, helps increase security assurance in software projects.
Ten years after we founded the Automated Reasoning Group, mathematical logic has moved from academic research into production services that secure millions of customer workloads — demonstrating that systems can be provably correct, not just probably correct.
PatientAgentBench generates a synthetic patient health record, a realistic clinical vignette, and a patient agent that converses with the AI system under evaluation, to capture what a patient-facing agent actually has to do.
A new chiplet architecture, custom die-to-die connectivity, and support for DDR5-8800 memory and the latest PCIe gen6 interconnects improve performance by 25% for general-purpose and agentic AI workloads.

NeurIPS 2023 Workshop on Robot Learning2023Offline meta-reinforcement learning (OMRL) aims to generalize an agent’s knowledge from training tasks with offline data to a new unknown RL task with few demonstration trajectories. This paper proposes T3GDT: Three-tier tokens to Guide Decision Transformer for OMRL. First, our approach learns a global token from its demonstrations to summarize a RL task’s transition dynamic and reward pattern. This global

NeurIPS 20232023We present a framework for transfer learning that efficiently adapts a large basemodel by learning lightweight cross-attention modules attached to its intermediate activations. We name our approach InCA (Introspective-Cross-Attention) and show that it can efficiently survey a network’s representations and identify strong performing adapter models for a downstream task. During training, InCA enables training

KDD 2024, NeurIPS 2023 Workshop on Distribution Shifts (DistShifts)2023Pre-trained language models (PLMs) have seen tremendous success in text classification (TC) problems in the context of Natural Language Processing (NLP). In many real-world text classification tasks, the class definitions being learned do not remain constant but rather change with time - this is known as concept shift. Most techniques for handling concept shift rely on retraining the old classifiers with

NeurIPS 20232023Earth system forecasting has traditionally relied on complex physical models that are computationally expensive and require significant domain expertise. In the past decade, the unprecedented increase in spatiotemporal Earth observation data has enabled data-driven forecasting models using deep learning techniques. These models have shown promise for diverse Earth system forecasting tasks. However, they

NeurIPS 20232023Ordinal classification (OC), i.e., labeling instances along classes with a natural ordering, is common in multiple applications such as disease severity labeling and size or budget based recommendations. Often in practical scenarios, it is desirable to obtain a small set of likely classes with a guaranteed high chance of including the true class. Recent works on conformal prediction (CP) address this problem
