Agentic AI for Robot Teams
This presentation highlights recent efforts at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory to advance agentic AI for collaborative robotic teams. It begins by framing the core challenges of enabling autonomy, coordination, and adaptability across heterogeneous systems, then introduces a scalable architecture designed to support agentic behaviors in multi-robot environments. The talk concludes with key challenges encountered and practical lessons learned from ongoing research and development.
SPIRA: Building an Intelligent System for Respiratory Insufficiency Detection
Ferreira, Renato Cordeiro, Gomes, Dayanne, Tamae, Vitor, Wernke, Francisco, Goldman, Alfredo
Respiratory insufficiency is a medic symptom in which a person gets a reduced amount of oxygen in the blood. This paper reports the experience of building SPIRA: an intelligent system for detecting respiratory insufficiency from voice. It compiles challenges faced in two succeeding implementations of the same architecture, summarizing lessons learned on data collection, training, and inference for future projects in similar systems.
Clustering scientific publications: lessons learned through experiments with a real citation network
Clustering scientific publications can reveal underlying research structures within bibliographic databases. Graph-based clustering methods, such as spectral, Louvain, and Leiden algorithms, are frequently utilized due to their capacity to effectively model citation networks. However, their performance may degrade when applied to real-world data. This study evaluates the performance of these clustering algorithms on a citation graph comprising approx. 700,000 papers and 4.6 million citations extracted from Web of Science. The results show that while scalable methods like Louvain and Leiden perform efficiently, their default settings often yield poor partitioning. Meaningful outcomes require careful parameter tuning, especially for large networks with uneven structures, including a dense core and loosely connected papers. These findings highlight practical lessons about the challenges of large-scale data, method selection and tuning based on specific structures of bibliometric clustering tasks.
Lessons learned from Open AI founder Sam Altman
There is a lot of buzz around GPT3. It is an amazing tool making google concerned first time that another software could replace google search. Look at this article for more on Google's red code Google's management has reportedly issued a'code red' amid the rising popularity of the ChatGPT AI (msn.com). While people are talking so much about ChartGPT or OpenAI there isn't enough talk about Sam Altman the founder of OpenAI. Open AI is a pioneer non-profit company co-founded by Sam Altman in 2015. Sam is former president of tech incubator Y-combinator, the accelerator program that has launched many amazing companies.
Opinion: Teaching Emerging Tech and an 'AI Bill of Rights'
At my institution we take great pride in remaining innovative and staying apace with technologies lessons. The past couple years have been rife with meetings, research, and developments about new technology that most American consumers are aware of and know are coming, though don't yet have a deep understanding about. Robotics and artificial intelligence are two sometimes intertwined examples. We have been building and activating degrees and courses in these fascinating, cutting-edge areas of tech. They are both in relatively infant stages, from a historical perspective.

Hear from top leaders discuss topics surrounding AL/ML technology, conversational AI, IVA, NLP, Edge, and more. In a digital world fueled by a steady influx of data, achieving organizational excellence depends on giving everyone immediate access to accurate, up-to-date information. Organizational-wide communication and collaboration are vital. Mission-critical decisions, in particular, depend on the timely sharing of lessons learned and insights from all departments. With new technology based on artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), it's easier than ever to share data effectively and consistently.
Lessons learned from the NeurIPS 2021 MetaDL challenge: Backbone fine-tuning without episodic meta-learning dominates for few-shot learning image classification
Baz, Adrian El, Ullah, Ihsan, Alcobaรงa, Edesio, Carvalho, Andrรฉ C. P. L. F., Chen, Hong, Ferreira, Fabio, Gouk, Henry, Guan, Chaoyu, Guyon, Isabelle, Hospedales, Timothy, Hu, Shell, Huisman, Mike, Hutter, Frank, Liu, Zhengying, Mohr, Felix, รztรผrk, Ekrem, van Rijn, Jan N., Sun, Haozhe, Wang, Xin, Zhu, Wenwu
Although deep neural networks are capable of achieving performance superior to humans on various tasks, they are notorious for requiring large amounts of data and computing resources, restricting their success to domains where such resources are available. Metalearning methods can address this problem by transferring knowledge from related tasks, thus reducing the amount of data and computing resources needed to learn new tasks. We organize the MetaDL competition series, which provide opportunities for research groups all over the world to create and experimentally assess new meta-(deep)learning solutions for real problems. In this paper, authored collaboratively between the competition organizers and the top-ranked participants, we describe the design of the competition, the datasets, the best experimental results, as well as the top-ranked methods in the NeurIPS 2021 challenge, which attracted 15 active teams who made it to the final phase (by outperforming the baseline), making over 100 code submissions during the feedback phase. The solutions of the top participants have been open-sourced. The lessons learned include that learning good representations is essential for effective transfer learning.
Google's AI Can Help You Get Your Next Job
When prepping for a job interview, the first place I go is Google. After all, the company's search engine is a launchpad to learn about your potential company, workshop possible questions, and walk away feeling knowledgable and prepared. Now, Google is stepping up its interview game even further--by implementing an interviewing tool powered by artificial intelligence. Before you call your parents for interview advice, check out Google's solution. This piece of artificial intelligence is called "Interview Warmup," a simple yet powerful program you can use to practice common interview questions for different professions.
Meet the Speaker --Jennifer Glenski
Speaking at WITS is important to me because it gives me the opportunity to share my passion, lessons learned, and tips for success with other technologists that may face similar challenges or situations, so they can progress farther and faster than I did. It's also important to me to help build the women in technology community, to show that no one has to go it alone if they don't want to, because we're all here to support each other. She is a distinguished computational research scientist, leading teams solving some of our nation's most pressing challenges in AI and working in critical areas to advance public good. She has already accomplished so much at a young age, including earning her PhD in Computer Science, and she inspires me to grow and do more every day. I recently read an interesting article on Four Health IT Trends to Pursue.
