Language models inspired by specialized processing regions in the brain offer significant time and cost savings.
An ensemble of models, weighted according to their reluctance to flag anomalies, outperforms its predecessors.
Unique end-of-arm tools with three-dimensional force sensors and innovative control algorithms enable robotic arms to “pick” items from and “stow” items in fabric storage pods.
In 2017, IEEE Internet Computing identified a single paper from its publication history that had best withstood the test of time: a 2003 paper called “Amazon.com Recommendations: Item-to-Item Collaborative Filtering”

Knowledge distillation is used, in generative language modeling, to train a smaller student model using the help of a larger teacher model, resulting in improved capabilities for the student model. In this paper, we formulate a more general framework for knowledge distillation where the student learns from the teacher during training, and also learns to ask for the teacher’s help at test-time following

2025In e-commerce, customers often struggle to find relevant items when their needs involve subjective properties characterized by personal or collective perception, tastes, and opinions, which are typically not captured in catalog data. This challenge is particularly pronounced in event-based scenarios like gifting, where selecting the right product involves complex subjective reasoning. Customer reviews can

2025Events like Valentine’s Day and Christmas can influence user intent when interacting with search engines. For example, a user searching for gift around Valentine’s Day is likely to be looking for Valentine’s-themed options, whereas the same query close to Christmas would more likely suggest an interest in Holiday-themed gifts. These shifts in user intent, driven by temporal factors, are often implicit but

2025Text-to-SQL simplifies database interactions by enabling non-experts to convert their natural language (NL) questions to Structured Query Language (SQL) queries. With advancements in Large Language Models (LLM), in-context learning (ICL) has emerged as a popular choice for building Text-to-SQL systems. Real world, industry-scale databases, often comprise thousands of tables and hundreds of columns, and

COLING 2025 Workshop on Evaluation of Multi-Modal Generation2025Multimodal generative AI usually involves generating image or text responses given inputs in another modality. The evaluation of image-text relevancy is essential for measuring response quality or ranking candidate responses. In particular, binary relevancy evaluation, i.e., “Relevant” vs. “Not Relevant”, is a fundamental problem. However, this is a challenging task considering that texts have diverse formats
