Uncertainty-Guided Data Augmentation for Engineers | Deep Dive - Yongmin Kwon

Uncertainty-Guided Data Augmentation for Engineers | Deep Dive - Yongmin Kwon

This session details a data-efficient method for training engineering surrogate models by using uncertainty quantification (UQ) to guide geometric data augmentation. Instead of random deformations, the approach lets the deep ensemble model identify its own knowledge gaps (epistemic uncertainty), then uses Free-Form Deformation (FFD) to generate new shapes specifically in those uncertain regions. This ensures every expensive simulation run yields maximally informative data, significantly improving model accuracy for a fixed computational budget across domains like structural mechanics and aerodynamics.

Q-learning with Flow-Matching Policies

Q-learning with Flow-Matching Policies

This talk explores methods for optimizing expressive, multi-modal policies, such as those based on flow-matching, with off-policy reinforcement learning. The speaker presents two novel algorithms, FQ-RL and CAM, designed to overcome the instability of backpropagation through multi-step generative models, enabling effective online self-improvement and adaptation for robotic manipulation tasks.

The data black hole at the center of AI

The data black hole at the center of AI

AI progress is fundamentally driven by vast amounts of data and compute, rather than improvements in sample efficiency, creating a stark contrast with human learning. This essay explores the "black hole of data" powering AIs, quantifies the massive sample-efficiency gap between humans and machines, counters common objections, and discusses the implications for white-collar automation and future AI research.

3‑2‑1 Backup Rule Explained: Protect Your Data from Disaster

3‑2‑1 Backup Rule Explained: Protect Your Data from Disaster

Jeff Crume outlines essential data resiliency strategies, starting with the 3-2-1 backup rule—three copies, two media types, one offsite—and expanding to include immutable or air-gapped backups, rigorous testing, and encryption. He emphasizes these principles for robust disaster recovery, ransomware protection, and minimizing costly downtime, highlighting the trade-offs in achieving high availability.

The Media Game Has Changed

The Media Game Has Changed

The conversation explores the shift from legacy media to creator-led platforms, why authenticity has become a competitive advantage, and how founders can build audiences by communicating directly with customers, employees, and the public. They discuss podcasts, social media, storytelling, corporate communications, and the changing relationship between companies, journalists, and audiences. Along the way, they examine how founders can develop a public voice, why some leaders become influential communicators, and what it means to build a brand in a world where distribution is increasingly decentralized.

The C4 Model: Visualizing Software Architecture • Simon Brown & Susanne Kaiser • GOTO 2026

Simon Brown, creator of the C4 Model, discusses its origin as a practical solution to clarify messy software diagrams. He explains the four hierarchical levels (context, container, component, code), emphasizing that most teams only need the top two for significant value. The discussion highlights the importance of including technology in diagrams, C4's collaborative nature, and practical advice on modeling microservices and bounded contexts, all while advocating for a lightweight, accessible approach to architectural visualization.

Scaling the Next Paradigm of Heterogeneous Intelligence — Adrian Bertagnoli, Callosum

Adrian Bertagnoli from Callosum argues that the era of scaling monolithic models on homogeneous GPU clusters is ending. He introduces "heterogeneous intelligence," a new paradigm where model architectures, chip types, and workflows are optimized together. By routing subtasks to the most efficient model and hardware, this approach achieves significant performance gains, as demonstrated by two key results: a 7x cost reduction in recursive reasoning tasks using Cerebras, and state-of-the-art performance on the Video Web Arena benchmark, outperforming leading GPT and Gemini models at a fraction of the cost and time.
