ABSTRACT:  Large language models (LLMs) like Claude Sonnet 3.7, GPT-4, Llama 3.1, and Gemini 2.5 have shown promise in AI-assisted coding, transforming natural language descriptions into code. While LLMs perform well on simple benchmarks like LeetCode, MBPP, and HumanEval, their success rate remains low in real-world…

ABSTRACT:  Anomaly Detection (AD) focuses on identifying anomalies by learning exclusively from normal samples, as collecting anomalous data is often costly and limited due to its long-tailed distribution. Given its practical significance, AD has been widely deployed in applications such as industrial defect inspection and…

ABSTRACT:  The Dept of Energy (DOE) complex comprises of many science facilities that could be classified as data producing (eg. the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory) and consuming (eg. the Leadership Class Computing Facilities at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory) facilities. Modern science campaigns…

ABSTRACT:  This presentation focuses on extending the success of large language models (LLMs) to sequential decision making. Existing efforts either (i) re-train or finetune LLMs for decision making, or (ii) design prompts for pretrained LLMs. The former approach suffers from the computational burden of gradient updates, and…

ABSTRACT:  Rapid and accurate triage of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is essential for early revascularization and improved patient outcomes. Response to acute reperfusion therapies varies significantly based on patient-specific cerebrovascular anatomy that governs cerebral blood flow. We present an end-to-end machine learning…

  ABSTRACT:  Recent years have seen tremendous iterations on autonomous driving technologies, pushing the deployment of self-driving cars closer to its realization. As the experimental deployments scale, more challenging and less frequent corner cases surface to stress-test the reliability of the autonomous driving…
