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.

CVPR 20232023In this work, instead of directly predicting the pixel-level segmentation masks, the problem of referring image segmentation is formulated as sequential polygon generation, and the predicted polygons can be later converted into segmentation masks. This is enabled by a new sequence-to-sequence framework, Polygon Transformer (PolyFormer), which takes a sequence of image patches and text query tokens as input

PAKDD 20232023Dense embedding-based semantic matching is widely used in e-commerce product search to address the shortcomings of lexical matching such as sensitivity to spelling variants. The recent advances in BERT-like language model encoders, have however, not found their way to realtime search due to the strict inference latency requirement imposed on e-commerce websites. While bi-encoder BERT architectures enable

AAAI 2023 Workshop on Knowledge Augmented Methods for NLP2023The abundance of benchmark datasets supports the recent trend of increased attention given to Question Answering (QA) tasks. However, most of them lack a diverse selection of QA types and more challenging questions. In this work, we present StoryQA, a new task and dataset addressing diverse QA problems for both in-context and out-of-context questions. Additionally, we developed QA models based on large

PPoPP 20232023Jointly utilizing multiple GPUs to train graph neural networks (GNNs) is crucial for handling large graphs and achieving high efficiency. However, we find that existing systems suffer from high communication costs and low GPU utilization due to improper data layout and training procedures. Thus, we propose a system dubbed Distributed Sampling and Pipelining (DSP) for multi-GPU GNN training. DSP adopts a

ISIR-eCom 20232023Commercial search engines use different semantic models to augment lexical matches. These models provide candidate items for a user’s query from a target space of millions to billions of items. Models with different inductive biases provide relatively different predictions, making it desirable to launch multiple semantic models in production. However, latency and resource constraints make simultaneously
