Neural Information Processing Systems

We first discuss the broader impact of the proposed DynamicD inSec. D presents the training dynamics for the further analysis. E also conducts qualitative experiments to verify whether our approach memorizes the real images for extremely limited data. F shows the hyper-parameter analysis. It demonstrates the importance of discriminator in the two-player competition as simply adjusting the capacity could lead tosuch significant improvements on avarietyof settings, making training generative models more accessible to everyone.


Building Effective Safety Guardrails in AI Education Tools

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

There has been rapid development in generative AI tools across the education sector, which in turn is leading to increased adoption by teachers. However, this raises concerns regarding the safety and age-appropriateness of the AI-generated content that is being created for use in classrooms. This paper explores Oak National Academy's approach to addressing these concerns within the development of the UK Government's first publicly available generative AI tool - our AI-powered lesson planning assistant (Aila). Aila is intended to support teachers planning national curriculum-aligned lessons that are appropriate for pupils aged 5-16 years. To mitigate safety risks associated with AI-generated content we have implemented four key safety guardrails: (1) prompt engineering to ensure AI outputs are generated within pedagogically sound and curriculum-aligned parameters; (2) input threat detection to mitigate attacks; (3) an Independent Asynchronous Content Moderation Agent (IACMA) to assess outputs against predefined safety categories; and (4) taking a human-in-the-loop approach, to encourage teachers to review generated content before it is used in the classroom. Through our on-going evaluation of these safety guardrails we have identified several challenges and opportunities to take into account when implementing and testing safety guardrails. This paper highlights ways to build more effective safety guardrails in generative AI education tools including the on-going iteration and refinement of guardrails, as well as enabling cross-sector collaboration through sharing both open-source code/datasets and learnings.


Adaptive Integrated Layered Attention (AILA)

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

We propose Adaptive Integrated Layered Attention (AILA), a neural network architecture that combines dense skip connections with different mechanisms for adaptive feature reuse across network layers. We evaluate AILA on three challenging tasks: price forecasting for various commodities and indices (S&P 500, Gold, US dollar Futures, Coffee, Wheat), image recognition using the CIFAR-10 dataset, and sentiment analysis on the IMDB movie review dataset. In all cases, AILA matches strong deep learning baselines (LSTMs, Transformers, and ResNets), achieving it at a fraction of the training and inference time. Notably, we implement and test two versions of the model - AILA-Architecture 1, which uses simple linear layers as the connection mechanism between layers, and AILA-Architecture 2, which implements an attention mechanism to selectively focus on outputs from previous layers. Both architectures are applied in a single-task learning setting, with each model trained separately for individual tasks. Results confirm that AILA's adaptive inter-layer connections yield robust gains by flexibly reusing pertinent features at multiple network depths. The AILA approach thus presents an extension to existing architectures, improving long-range sequence modeling, image recognition with optimised computational speed, and SOTA classification performance in practice.


Autonomous Microscopy Experiments through Large Language Model Agents

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

The emergence of large language models (LLMs) has accelerated the development of self - driving laboratories (SDLs) for materials research. Despite their transformative potential, current SDL implementations rely on rigid, predefined protocols that limit the ir adaptability to dynamic experimental scenarios across different labs. A significant challenge persists in measuring how effectively AI agents can replicate the adaptive decision - making and experimental intuition of expert scientists. Here, we introduce AILA (Artificially Intelligent Lab Assistant), a framework that automates atomic force microscopy (AFM) through LLM - driven agents. Using AFM as an experimental testbed, we develop AFMBench -- a comprehensive evaluation suite that challenges AI agents based on language models like GPT - 4o and GPT - 3.5 to perform tasks spanning the sc ientific workflow: from experimental design to results analysis. Our systematic assessment shows that state - of - the - art language models struggle even with basic tasks such as documentation retrieval, leading to a significant decline in performance in multi - agent coordination scenarios . Further, we observe that LLMs exhibit a tendency to not adhere to instructions or even divagate to additional tasks beyond the original request, raising serious concerns regarding safety alignment aspects of AI agents for SDLs . Finally, w e demonstrate the application of AILA on increasingly complex experiments open - ended experiments: automated AFM calibration, high - resolution feature detection, and mechanical property measurement . Our findings emphasize the necessity for stringent benchmarking protocols before deploying AI agents as laboratory assistants across scientific disciplines.

Failure of applying good maintenance can surely disrupt the whole chain of industrial operations. To overcome this paradigm of maintenance Spark Cognition's analytical solution SparkPredict was introduced. It helped in overcoming the maintenance downtime and thus boosting the overall operational costs savings. SparkPredict analyzes various data whether structured or unstructured. It then uses machine learning techniques to revert with appropriate actions acceptable at that time.
