The real paradigm shift is in the
fact that Ruby was designed to
make programming fast,
enjoyable and easy instead of
being optimized for the
machines running it.

Co-Constructing Explanations for AI Systems using ProvenancePaul Groth

Explanation is not a one off - it's a process where people and systems work together to gain understanding. This idea of co-constructing explanations or explanation by exploration is powerful way to frame the problem of explanation. In this talk, I discuss our first experiments with this approach for explaining complex AI systems by using provenance. Importantly, I discuss the difficulty of evaluation and discuss some of our first approaches to evaluating these systems at scale. Finally, I touch on the importance of explanation to the comprehensive evaluation of AI systems.

Market Insights and Trends: Key insights include IT market forecasts, economic factors affecting IT budgets, and the impact of AI on enterprise IT. The study highlights the importance of AI integration and the concept of creative destruction. Agentic AI and Future Predictions: Agentic AI is expected to transform human-agent collaboration, with AI systems understanding context and orchestrating complex processes. Future predictions include AI's role in shopping and enterprise IT.

Agentic AI Explained: The Next Frontier of Autonomous Intelligence & Generati...Aaryan Kansari

Agentic AI Explained: The Next Frontier of Autonomous Intelligence & Generative AI Discover Agentic AI, the revolutionary step beyond reactive generative AI. Learn how these autonomous systems can reason, plan, execute, and adapt to achieve human-defined goals, acting as digital co-workers. Explore its promise, key frameworks like LangChain and AutoGen, and the challenges in designing reliable and safe AI agents for future workflows. Sticky Note Bullets: Definition: Next stage beyond ChatGPT-like systems, offering true autonomy. Core Function: Can "reason, plan, execute and adapt" independently. Distinction: Proactive (sets own actions for goals) vs. Reactive (responds to prompts). Promise: Acts as "digital co-workers," handling grunt work like research, drafting, bug fixing. Industry Outlook: Seen as a game-changer; Deloitte predicts 50% of companies using GenAI will have agentic AI pilots by 2027. Key Frameworks: LangChain, Microsoft's AutoGen, LangGraph, CrewAI. Development Focus: Learning to think in workflows and goals, not just model outputs. Challenges: Ensuring reliability, safety; agents can still hallucinate or go astray. Best Practices: Start small, iterate, add memory, keep humans in the loop for final decisions. Use Cases: Limited only by imagination (e.g., drafting business plans, complex simulations).

LSNIF: Locally-Subdivided Neural Intersection FunctionTakahiro Harada

Neural representations have shown the potential to accelerate ray casting in a conventional ray-tracing-based rendering pipeline. We introduce a novel approach called Locally-Subdivided Neural Intersection Function (LSNIF) that replaces bottom-level BVHs used as traditional geometric representations with a neural network. Our method introduces a sparse hash grid encoding scheme incorporating geometry voxelization, a scene-agnostic training data collection, and a tailored loss function. It enables the network to output not only visibility but also hit-point information and material indices. LSNIF can be trained offline for a single object, allowing us to use LSNIF as a replacement for its corresponding BVH. With these designs, the network can handle hit-point queries from any arbitrary viewpoint, supporting all types of rays in the rendering pipeline. We demonstrate that LSNIF can render a variety of scenes, including real-world scenes designed for other path tracers, while achieving a memory footprint reduction of up to 106.2x compared to a compressed BVH. https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.21627

Supercharge Your AI Development with Local LLMsFrancesco Corti

In today's AI development landscape, developers face significant challenges when building applications that leverage powerful large language models (LLMs) through SaaS platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, and others. While these services offer impressive capabilities, they come with substantial costs that can quickly escalate especially during the development lifecycle. Additionally, the inherent latency of web-based APIs creates frustrating bottlenecks during the critical testing and iteration phases of development, slowing down innovation and frustrating developers. This talk will introduce the transformative approach of integrating local LLMs directly into their development environments. By bringing these models closer to where the code lives, developers can dramatically accelerate development lifecycles while maintaining complete control over model selection and configuration. This methodology effectively reduces costs to zero by eliminating dependency on pay-per-use SaaS services, while opening new possibilities for comprehensive integration testing, rapid prototyping, and specialized use cases.
