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.

Featured news
The collaboration will support research in robotics, industrial and systems engineering, and aerospace technology while fostering innovation in foundational and emerging technologies.
Submissions open October 1 and close on November 4, 2026
The Build on Trainium program is a $110 million credit initiative supporting AI research at 30 universities including Stanford, UC Berkeley, UIUC, UCLA, CMU, and MIT, with a focus on Responsible AI.
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.

CIKM 20262026Many business and clinical decisions depend on the conditional average treatment effect (CATE) of each of several continuous treatments that move together: advertising spend and discount levels driven by the same campaign, or drug doses adjusted in a common protocol. Several estimator families produce CATE at every query point with a confidence interval, including meta-learners, doubly robust learners,

2026Product families in large product catalogs suffer from inconsistencies such as duplicates and unit mismatches that degrade customer experience. Detecting these requires reasoning over multiple error types across lengthy product listings, where LLM classification quality degrades due to long-context limitations. We address this by decomposing detection into focused sub-tasks that reduce context and isolate

2026Production Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems serve repeated queries over evolving document corpora under user-specific access constraints. Standard pipelines perform full retrieval and generation for every request, wasting computation on recurring queries. Naive caching reduces latency but introduces safety failures: stale evidence from updated documents, unauthorized content crossing access

ACM SIGSPATIAL 20262026Geospatial analysis traditionally requires specialized GIS expertise, complex software interfaces, and significant manual effort to orchestrate data from heterogeneous sources. We present Fangorn, an agentic platform that enables analysts to perform sophisticated geospatial intelligence operations through natural language conversation. Fangorn combines a modular tool ecosystem based on the Model Context

2026Knowledge distillation has become a crucial technique to transfer the capacities of large language models (LLMs) to smaller, more efficient models for practical deployment. While recent work exploits rich information from intermediate states of the teacher model for more effective knowledge transfer, imperfect knowledge from the teacher can also mislead student learning, restricting the student's generalization
