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.

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.

2026Humans effortlessly locate and identify objects by touch alone, even without vision. In contrast, robotic systems rely heavily on vision and struggle with autonomous tactile exploration and object identification. We present TACTFUL, a vision-free tactile exploration framework that enables a multi-fingered robot to autonomously explore confined workspaces, discover objects through contact, and identify them

RecSys 2026 Workshop for Agentic and Generative AI for E-commerce2026Large-language-model (LLM) agents increasingly operate and evaluate e-commerce workflows, and a recurring building block is a skill router : a semantic-retrieval layer that maps a free-form question to the correct skill in a catalog. The same layer lets an LLM-as-judge evaluator decide which skill should have answered and whether the catalog covers the question at all. In practice it runs on general-purpose

RecSys 2026 Workshop for Agentic and Generative AI for E-commerce2026Training classifiers for e-commerce catalog management is bottlenecked by two simultaneous scarcities: underspecified task specifications (a bare URL or one-sentence description) and few or no labeled examples. We present MASLOW, to our knowledge the first multi-agent synthetic data pipeline that handles the full journey from underspecified inputs to labeled training data without requiring clean class labels

2026Large language models increasingly need to generate structured outputs that conform to predefined schemas, with one common constraint being selection from a finite set of valid strings. Current constrained decoding systems handle this through general-purpose grammar compilation, which becomes prohibitively slow as the number of valid values grows into the thousands, a cardinality wall. We introduce the

2026Domain-specific finetuning is essential for dense retrievers, yet not all data pairs contribute equally to the learning process. We introduce OPERA1 , a data pruning framework that exploits this heterogeneity to improve both the effectiveness and efficiency of retrieval model adaptation. We first investigate static pruning (SP), which retains only high-similarity query document pairs, revealing an intrinsic
