We consider the problem of instance-optimal statistical estimation under the constraint of differential privacy where mechanisms must adapt to the difficulty of the input dataset. We prove a new instance specific lower bound using a new divergence and show it characterizes the local minimax optimal rates for private statistical estimation. We propose two new mechanisms that are universally instance-optimal for general estimation problems up to logarithmic factors.

Spoken language understanding research to date has generally carried a heavy text perspective. Most datasets are derived from text, which is then subsequently synthesized into speech, and most models typically rely on automatic transcriptions of speech. This is to the detriment of prosody--additional information carried by the speech signal beyond the phonetics of the words themselves and difficult to recover from text alone.

When tasked with building a fundamentally new product line with deeper insights than previously achievable for a high-value client, Ben Epstein and his team faced a significant challenge: how to harness LLMs to produce consistent, high-accuracy outputs at scale. In this new session, Ben will share how he and his team engineered a system (based on proven software engineering approaches) that employs reproducible test variations (via temperature 0 and fixed seeds), and enables non-LLM evaluation m
