Sign languages are essential for the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing (DHH) community. Sign language generation systems have the potential to support communication by translating from written languages, such as English, into signed videos. However, current systems often fail to meet user needs due to poor translation of grammatical structures, the absence of facial cues and body language, and insufficient visual and motion fidelity.

In artificial intelligence, evaluating the performance of language models presents a unique challenge. Unlike image recognition or numerical predictions, language quality assessment doesn’t yield to simple binary measurements. Enter BLEU (Bilingual Evaluation Understudy), a metric that has become the cornerstone of machine translation evaluation since its introduction by IBM researchers in 2002.

The world of AI never stands still, and 2025 is proving to be a groundbreaking year. The first big moment came with the launch of DeepSeek -V3, a highly advanced large language model (LLM) that made waves with its cutting-edge advancements in training optimization, achieving remarkable performance at a fraction of the cost of its competitors. Now, the next major milestone of the AI world is here – Open AI’s GPT 4.5.

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

( Dylan Foster and Alex Lamb both helped in creating this.) In thinking about what are good research problems, its sometimes helpful to switch from what is understood to what is clearly possible. This encourages us to think beyond simply improving the existing system. For example, we have seen instances throughout the history of machine learning where researchers have argued for fixing an architecture and using it for short-term success, ignoring potential for long-term disruption.

Speech foundation models, such as HuBERT and its variants, are pre-trained on large amounts of unlabeled speech data and then used for a range of downstream tasks. These models use a masked prediction objective, where the model learns to predict information about masked input segments from the unmasked context. The choice of prediction targets in this framework impacts their performance on downstream tasks.

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) enhances large language models (LLMs) by integrating external knowledge, making responses more informative and context-aware.

These issues in RAG systems impact applications in various domains, from customer support to research and content generation.

For all the revolutionary change artificial intelligence promises, it also makes lofty demands. For starters, AI is extraordinarily power hungry. Generating all the electricity that AI datacenters consume takes forest-loads of energy, not to mention hardware and cooling infrastructure. That stuff all costs a lot, making AI a huge money pit. That's had a big effect on our economy, as the tiniest bit of AI hype can send huge shockwaves through Wall Street and beyond.

Given a predictor and a loss function, how well can we predict the loss that the predictor will incur on an input? This is the problem of loss prediction, a key computational task associated with uncertainty estimation for a predictor. In a classification setting, a predictor will typically predict a distribution over labels and hence have its own estimate of the loss that it will incur, given by the entropy of the predicted distribution.
