Using the Neuron Kernel Interface, a Reactor–AWS collaboration tackled the dynamic shapes, memory access patterns, and cache management that make real-time autoregressive diffusion hard—building techniques that generalize across models.
Three new papers from Amazon Bio Discovery address bottlenecks in AI-driven antibody engineering, from benchmarking binding predictors to experimentally validating de novo design.
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.

ACL Findings 20232023Recently, Neural Topic Models (NTM), inspired by variational autoencoders, have attracted a lot of research interest; however, these methods have limited applications in the real world due to the challenge of incorporating human knowledge. This work presents a semi-supervised neural topic modeling method, vONTSS, which uses von Mises-Fisher (vMF) based variational autoencoders and optimal transport. When

ICML 20232023Differentially private (DP) optimization is the standard paradigm to learn large neural networks that are accurate and privacy-preserving. The computational cost for DP deep learning, however, is notoriously heavy due to the per-sample gradient clipping. Existing DP implementations are 2 ∼ 1000× more costly in time and space complexity than the standard (non-private) training. In this work, we develop a

Interspeech 20232023Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC) models are popular for their balance between speed and performance for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR). However, these CTC models still struggle in other areas, such as personalization towards custom words. A recent approach explores Contextual Adapters, wherein an attention-based biasing model for CTC is used to improve the recognition of custom entities.

Interspeech 20232023Recent studies have found that model performance has a smooth power-law relationship, or scaling laws, with training data and model size, for a wide range of problems. These scaling laws allow one to choose nearly optimal data and model sizes. We study whether this scaling property is also applicable to second-pass rescoring, which is an important component of speech recognition systems. We focus on RescoreBERT

CUI 20232023Voice assistants interrupt people when they pause mid-question, a frustrating interaction that requires the full repetition of the entire question again. This impacts all users, but particularly people with cognitive impairments. In human-human conversation, these situations are recovered naturally as people understand the words that were uttered. In this paper we build answer pipelines which parse incomplete
