An international team has explored how in future aerial robots could process construction materials precisely in the air -- an approach with great potential for difficult-to-access locations or work at great heights. The flying robots are not intended to replace existing systems on the ground, but rather to complement them in a targeted manner for repairs or in disaster areas, for instance.
Kwai AI's SRPO framework slashes LLM RL post-training steps by 90% while matching DeepSeek-R1 performance in math and code. This two-stage RL approach with history resampling overcomes GRPO limitations.

Inspired by the movements of a tiny parasitic worm, engineers have created a 5-inch soft robot that can jump as high as a basketball hoop. Their device, a silicone rod with a carbon-fiber spine, can leap 10 feet high even though it doesn't have legs. The researchers made it after watching high-speed video of nematodes pinching themselves into odd shapes to fling themselves forward and backward.
Margaret Mitchell, an AI ethics researcher at Hugging Face, tells WIRED about a new dataset designed to test AI models for bias in multiple languages.
In this post, we discuss how you can build an AI-powered document processing platform with open source NER and LLMs on SageMaker.
In this post, we explore two approaches for securing sensitive data in RAG applications using Amazon Bedrock. The first approach focused on identifying and redacting sensitive data before ingestion into an Amazon Bedrock knowledge base, and the second demonstrated a fine-grained RBAC pattern for managing access to sensitive information during retrieval. These solutions represent just two possible approaches among many for securing sensitive data in generative AI applications.
This post is divided into five parts: • Understanding the RAG architecture • Building the Document Indexing System • Implementing the Retrieval System • Implementing the Generator • Building the Complete RAG System An RAG system consists of two main components: • Retriever: Responsible for finding relevant documents or passages from a knowledge base given a query.

Data preprocessing remains crucial for machine learning success, yet real-world datasets often contain errors. Data preprocessing using Cleanlab provides an efficient solution, leveraging its Python package to implement confident learning algorithms. By automating the detection and correction of label errors, Cleanlab simplifies the process of data preprocessing in machine learning. With its use of statistical […]
