This paper has been accepted at the 18th European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV 2024) (opens in new tab), the premier gathering on computer vision and machine learning. Biomedical vision models are computational tools that analyze medical images, like X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans, and are used to predict medical conditions and outcomes. These models assist medical practitioners in disease diagnosis, treatment planning, disease monitoring, and risk assessment. However, datasets used to train these models can be small and not representative of real-world conditions, which often leads to these models performing worse in actual medical settings. To avoid misdiagnoses and…

Transforming raw data into meaningful visuals, such as charts, is key to uncovering hidden trends and valuable insights, but even with advances in AI-powered tools, this process remains complex. Integrating AI into the iterative nature of the data visualization process is particularly challenging, as data analysts often struggle to describe complicated tasks in a single text prompt while lacking the direct control of traditional tools. This highlights the need for smarter, more intuitive solutions that combine AI’s precision with the flexibility of hands-on methods. To address this, we’re excited to release Data Formulator as an open-source research project. This update…

In the generative AI era, agents that simulate human actions and behaviors are emerging as a powerful tool for enterprises to create production-ready applications. Agents can interact with users, perform tasks, and exhibit decision-making abilities, mimicking humanlike intelligence. By combining agents with foundation models (FMs) from the Amazon Titan in Amazon Bedrock family, customers can develop multimodal, complex applications that enable the agent to understand and generate natural language or images. For example, in the fashion retail industry, an assistant powered by agents and multimodal models can provide customers with a personalized and immersive experience. The assistant can engage in…

The German philosopher Fredrich Nietzsche once said that “invisible threads are the strongest ties.” One could think of “invisible threads” as tying together related objects, like the homes on a delivery driver’s route, or more nebulous entities, such as transactions in a financial network or users in a social network.Computer scientist Julian Shun studies these types of multifaceted but often invisible connections using graphs, where objects are represented as points, or vertices, and relationships between them are modeled by line segments, or edges.Shun, a newly tenured associate professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, designs graph algorithms…
