Hosted by Danielle Perszyk, cognitive scientist at Amazon's AGI Lab, the podcast features researchers tackling the hardest problems in agentic AI — from building reliable perception systems to designing training environments that mirror human learning.
The Antibody Developability Benchmark is powered by one of the most diverse antibody datasets in public literature, enabling transparent performance evaluation for AI-guided antibody design.
Challenge pushes teams to demonstrate measurable gains in secure-coding performance while building AI agents that advance real-world utility and reliability at scale.
Initiative will fund over 100 doctoral students researching machine learning, computer vision, and natural-language processing at nine universities.

2026We present ProbHardE2E, a probabilistic forecasting framework that incorporates hard operational/physical constraints, and provides uncertainty quantification. Our methodology uses a novel differentiable probabilistic projection layer (DPPL) that can be combined with a wide range of neural network architectures. DPPL allows the model to learn the system in an end-to-end manner, compared to other approaches

2026Is bigger always better for time series foundation models? With the question in mind, we explore an alternative to training a single, large monolithic model: build-ing a portfolio of smaller, pretrained forecasting models. By applying ensembling or model selection over these portfolios, we achieve competitive performance on large-scale benchmarks using much fewer parameters. We explore strategies for designing

IGARSS 20262026Remote sensing imagery is a a rich source that serves a wide range of applications including urban planning, land management, environmental monitoring, and digital map enrichment by detecting roads and building outlines. Nevertheless, occlusions from trees often hide important features like roads from bird's-eye viewpoint. To tackle this problem, we propose GeoRoadInpaint model, leveraging stable diffusion

ICML 2026 Workshop on Generative and Agentic AI for Biology2026Therapeutic antibody discovery remains slow and resource-intensive, with traditional methods providing limited control over epitope selection. We present a workflow for de novo nanobody design applied to a novel Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumor target encompassing four stages: (1) epitope identification guided by our hotspot recommendation agent using physical chemistry-based structure and sequence analysis

ISACE 20262026Agentic AI systems can access vast data but struggle to apply domain expertise, namely the contextual understanding of how to use specialized information. This paper presents a practical framework for encoding such expertise, demonstrated with the National Football League (NFL) through NFL Fantasy AI, a production system delivering analyst-grade fantasy football advice, as assessed by NFL Pro analysts.
