    Erfan Soltanmohammadi, Paris Smaragdis, Mike Goodwin
    IEEE 2023 Workshop on Machine Learning for Signal Processing (MLSP)
    2023
    Speech super-resolution is the process of estimating the missing frequency content of a speech signal from its existing band-limited frequency content. The loss of frequency components is a common occurrence that can be because of a low sampling rate, low-quality microphones, or various transmission factors, and it is an increasingly common problem as bandwidth for high-quality communications is generally

    ACL 2023
    2023
    We present a new task setting for attribute mining on e-commerce products, serving as a practical solution to extract open-world attributes without extensive human intervention. Our supervision comes from a high-quality seed attribute set bootstrapped from existing resources, and we aim to expand the attribute vocabulary of existing seed types, and also to discover any new attribute types automatically.

  • Computation of node distances on hypergraphs
    Enzhi Li, Bilal Fadlallah
    KDD 2023 Workshop on Mining and Learning with Graphs
    2023
    A hypergraph is a generalization of a graph that arises naturally when we consider attribute-sharing among entities. Although a hypergraph can be converted into a graph by expanding its hyperedges into fully connected subgraphs, going the reverse way is computationally complex and NP-complete. We hence hypothesize that a hypergraph contains more information than a graph. Moreover, it is more convenient

Machine Learning Scientist / Applied Scientist, EU Prime and Marketing Analytics & Science (PRIMAS)
ES, M, Madrid
Are you interested in changing how Amazon does marketing — moving beyond platform-optimized broad reach to campaigns that find the right customer, at the right moment, using Amazon's unmatched 1P data? We are seeking an Applied Scientist to join PRIMAS (Prime & Marketing Analytics and Science). In this role, you will design and run the experiments that answer the foundational question for EU marketing: does adding 1P audience signal on top of Value-Based Optimization (VBO) improve marketing efficiency — and if so, for which customer cohorts, on which surfaces, and at what scale? Amazon's current marketing model is largely platform-led: we set objectives and let platforms optimize toward conversion. This approach works well for broad acquisition but systematically underserves lifecycle goals — it cannot distinguish between a Bargain Hunter who will never pay full price and a high-potential customer one nudge away from becoming a Prime member. This role sits at the center of changing that. You will build the 1P audiences, design the experiments that test them, and generate the evidence that guides how Amazon allocates hundreds of millions in marketing spend. Year 1 is an experimentation year. You will deploy 1P audiences across multiple surfaces and channels — Meta, Google, Amazon Display Ads — and measure incrementally against VBO baselines. The goal is not to replace platform optimization but to understand when and where the combination of 1P signal + VBO outperforms VBO alone, and to build the experimental infrastructure that makes this learning scalable. Key job responsibilities 1P Audience Development & Experimentation: - Build and validate 1P audience segments from Amazon behavioral, transactional, and lifecycle data - Design experiments that isolate the incremental effect of 1P audience signal over platform VBO baselines - Deploy audiences across activation surfaces and establish measurement standards that make cross-surface comparison valid Causal Measurement & Incrementality: - Apply causal inference methods to measure the true incremental lift of audience-based targeting vs. VBO - Develop power analysis frameworks and guardrails that enable rapid experimentation without underpowered or conflated tests - Deliver optimization recommendations grounded in experimental evidence: which cohorts respond, which surfaces deliver, which creative strategies drive behavior change Scaling the Learning: - Build reusable audience and measurement frameworks that can be deployed across campaigns and channels — year 1 experiments should produce infrastructure, not one-off analyses - Document experimental learnings in a way that informs both the 2026 roadmap and the business case for investing further in 1P audience capabilities in 2027+ - Partner with engineering and PMT to translate validated audience prototypes into production-ready solutions that scale beyond the experimentation phase About the team The PRIMAS team, is part of a larger tech tech team of 100+ people called WIMSI (WW Integrated Marketing Systems and Intelligence). WIMSI core mission is to accelerate marketing technology capabilities that enable de-averaged customer experiences across the marketing funnel: awareness, consideration, and conversion.

Develop and deploy production-grade machine learning and statistical models using Python, SQL, and related tools to automate insights, detect patterns, and drive decision-making across STF's security tool ecosystem. Perform large-scale exploratory data analysis on builder feedback, ticket resolution, tool usage, and customer satisfaction data to uncover patterns, identify opportunities, and inform product and tooling decisions. Translate complex research findings into clear insights and recommendations for technical and non-technical stakeholders at all levels, including STF leadership metric reporting and customer satisfaction publications. Contribute to Amazon's scientific community and the broader research field through collaboration and publication in top-tier venues.
