Neural Information Processing Systems

For what purpose was the dataset created? Was there a specific task in mind? YFCC with 100 million image/videos and associated metadata. Who created the dataset (e.g., which team, research group) and on behalf of which Who funded the creation of the dataset? This work was sponsored by Hugging Face and Stability AI. What do the instances that comprise the dataset represent (e.g., documents, photos, Are there multiple types of instances (e.g., movies, users, and ratings; We provide 5.8 billion image-text pairs.




Hints-In-Browser: Benchmarking Language Models for Programming Feedback Generation

Neural Information Processing Systems

Generative AI and large language models hold great promise in enhancing programming education by generating individualized feedback and hints for learners. Recent works have primarily focused on improving the quality of generated feedback to achieve human tutors' quality.




9 rare animals caught on camera in the 'Amazon of Asia'

Popular Science

A 2025 survey in the forests of Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia uncovered several rare and endangered animals. A pig-tailed macaque is caught on camera in a Cambodian forest. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. The results of a new camera-trap survey in Southeast Asia is revealing a bevy of hidden biodiversity tucked within the Annamites mountain range . This largely unexplored wildlife hotspot has a forest stretching 683 miles (1,100 kilometers) across the countries of Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia.


Conformal Prediction Sets for Instance Segmentation

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Current instance segmentation models achieve high performance on average predictions, but lack principled uncertainty quantification: their outputs are not calibrated, and there is no guarantee that a predicted mask is close to the ground truth. To address this limitation, we introduce a conformal prediction algorithm to generate adaptive confidence sets for instance segmentation. Given an image and a pixel coordinate query, our algorithm generates a confidence set of instance predictions for that pixel, with a provable guarantee for the probability that at least one of the predictions has high Intersection-Over-Union (IoU) with the true object instance mask. We apply our algorithm to instance segmentation examples in agricultural field delineation, cell segmentation, and vehicle detection. Empirically, we find that our prediction sets vary in size based on query difficulty and attain the target coverage, outperforming existing baselines such as Learn Then Test, Conformal Risk Control, and morphological dilation-based methods. We provide versions of the algorithm with asymptotic and finite sample guarantees.
