A new dataset with over 238,000 images challenges and advances the state of the art in visual defect detection for complex retail applications.
To transform scientific domains, foundation models will require physical-constraint satisfaction, uncertainty quantification, and specialized forecasting techniques that overcome data scarcity while maintaining scientific rigor.
The language AI agents might speak, sharing context without compromising privacy, modeling agentic negotiations, and understanding users’ commonsense policies are some of the open scientific questions that researchers in agentic AI will need to grapple with.
With a novel parallel-computing architecture, a CAD-to-USD pipeline, and the use of OpenUSD as ground truth, a new simulator can explore hundreds of sensor configurations in the time it takes to test just a few physical setups.
From reimagining storage to serverless computing, Aurora continues to push the boundaries of what's possible in database technology.

ITC 20242024Recently the semiconductor industry has been alerted by hyperscaler companies reporting impact of field errors in megascale datacenters. They tend to be elusive and very difficult to detect until they affect a particular application several days or months after the IC has been deployed in a fleet. Although the cause of such errors can be manifold, ranging from test escapes and design marginalities to design

CIKM 2024 Workshop on GenAI and RAG Systems for Enterprise2024Security controls are mechanisms or policies designed for cloud-based services to reduce risk, protect information, and ensure compliance with security regulations. The development of security controls is traditionally a labor-intensive and time-consuming process. This paper explores the use of Generative AI to accelerate the generation of security controls. We specifically focus on generating Gherkin codes

Demand forecasting faces challenges induced by Peak Events (PEs) corresponding to special periods such as promotions and holidays. Peak events create significant spikes in demand followed by demand ramp down periods. Neural networks like MQCNN [12, 6] and MQT [1] overreact to demand peaks by carrying over the elevated PE demand into subsequent Post-Peak-Event (PPE) periods, resulting in significantly over-biased

Anomaly detection in industrial sensor data is challenging as sensor readings are frequently affected by routine operations, leading to sudden changes that may not indicate actual issues. This makes it difficult to distinguish between normal and anomalous behavior. With a few expert-labeled anomalies, we aim to leverage these sparse labels to improve sensor anomaly detection. Besides the issue of limited

Speculative decoding is a method for accelerating inference in large language models (LLMs) by predicting multiple tokens using a smaller ‘draft model’ and validating them against the larger ‘base model.’ If a draft token is inconsistent with what the base model would have generated, speculative decoding ‘backtracks’ to the last consistent token before resuming generation. This is straightforward in autoregressive
