Using LLMs for Late Multimodal Sensor Fusion for Activity Recognition

This paper was accepted at the Learning from Time Series for Health workshop at NeurIPS 2025. Sensor data streams provide valuable information around activities and context for downstream applications, though integrating complementary information can be challenging. We show that large language models (LLMs) can be used for late fusion for activity classification from audio and …

MSD explores applying generative Al to improve the deviation management process using AWS services

This post is co-written with Hossein Salami and Jwalant Vyas from MSD.  In the biopharmaceutical industry, deviations in the manufacturing process are rigorously addressed. Each deviation is thoroughly documented, and its various aspects and potential impacts are closely examined to help ensure drug product quality, patient safety, and compliance. For leading pharmaceutical companies, managing these …

From interaction to insight: Announcing BigQuery Agent Analytics for the Google ADK

In a world of agentic AI, building an agent is only half the battle. The other half is understanding how users are interacting with it. What are their most common requests? Where do they get stuck? What paths lead to successful outcomes? Answering these questions is the key to refining your agent and delivering a …

Grok 4.1 Fast’s compelling dev access and Agent Tools API overshadowed by Musk glazing

Elon Musk’s frontier generative AI startup xAI formally opened developer access to its Grok 4.1 Fast models last night and introduced a new Agent Tools API—but the technical milestones were immediately subverted by a wave of public ridicule about Grok’s responses on the social network X over the last few days praising its creator Musk …

Machine learning algorithm rapidly reconstructs 3D images from X-ray data

Soon, researchers may be able to create movies of their favorite protein or virus better and faster than ever before. Researchers at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have pioneered a new machine learning method—called X-RAI (X-Ray single particle imaging with Amortized Inference)—that can “look” at millions of X-ray laser-generated images and create …
