Abacus.AI - Effortlessly Embed Cutting Edge AI In Your Applications.

Publications

The research team at Abacus.AI makes fundamental contributions to the field of AI/ML that might have an impact in the short or long run and does applied research that has benefits in practice. The areas we have been focusing on include large language models, time-series forecasting, recommender systems, automated machine learning, meta-learning, deep learning for tabular data, deep learning optimization, and fairness/debiasing in deep learning.

The team already has an impressive list of publications in top-tier conferences and workshops in just over four years of its conception.
