AI material that learns behaviors and adapts to changing conditions
Just like a pianist who learns to play their instrument without looking at the keys or a basketball player who puts in countless hours to throw a seemingly effortless jump shot, UCLA mechanical engineers have designed a new class of material that can learn behaviors over time and develop a “muscle memory” of its own, …

The Calibration Generalization Gap
This paper was accepted at the Workshop on Distribution-Free Uncertainty Quantification at ICML 2022. Calibration is a fundamental property of a good predictive model: it requires that the model predicts correctly in proportion to its confidence. Modern neural networks, however, provide no strong guarantees on their calibration— and can be either poorly calibrated or well-calibrated …

Use Amazon SageMaker Canvas for exploratory data analysis
Exploratory data analysis (EDA) is a common task performed by business analysts to discover patterns, understand relationships, validate assumptions, and identify anomalies in their data. In machine learning (ML), it’s important to first understand the data and its relationships before getting into model building. Traditional ML development cycles can sometimes take months and require advanced …

Run ensemble ML models on Amazon SageMaker
Model deployment in machine learning (ML) is becoming increasingly complex. You want to deploy not just one ML model but large groups of ML models represented as ensemble workflows. These workflows are comprised of multiple ML models. Productionizing these ML models is challenging because you need to adhere to various performance and latency requirements. Amazon …
