Runtime optimizations and a thorough evaluation process driven by agentic AI help ensure that models written in PyTorch will execute efficiently and reliably on Trainium systems.
Using the Neuron Kernel Interface, a Reactor–AWS collaboration tackled the dynamic shapes, memory access patterns, and cache management that make real-time autoregressive diffusion hard—building techniques that generalize across models.
Three new papers from Amazon Bio Discovery address bottlenecks in AI-driven antibody engineering, from benchmarking binding predictors to experimentally validating de novo design.
New research indicates that AI agents learn compressible models of data, which don’t have enough space to enable memorization.
How the Verus "program verifier", which automatically checks code against a mathematical specification of its functionality, helps increase security assurance in software projects.
Ten years after we founded the Automated Reasoning Group, mathematical logic has moved from academic research into production services that secure millions of customer workloads — demonstrating that systems can be provably correct, not just probably correct.

ICLR 20182018We present a personalized recommender system using neural network for recommending products, such as eBooks, audio-books, Mobile Apps, Video and Music. It produces recommendations based on customer’s implicit feedback history such as purchases, listens or watches. Our key contribution is to formulate recommendation problem as a model that encodes historical behavior to predict the future behavior using

WWW 20182018Structured prediction, where outcomes have a precedence order, lies at the heart of machine learning for information retrieval, movie recommendation, product review prediction, and digital advertising. Ordinal ranking, in particular, assumes that the structured response has a linear ranked order. Due to the extensive applicability of these models, substantial research has been devoted to understanding them

ICML 20182018This work explores the idea of a causal contextual multi-armed bandit approach to automated marketing, where we estimate and optimize the causal (incremental) effects. Focusing on causal effect leads to better return on investment (ROI) by targeting only the persuadable customers who wouldn’t have taken the action organically. Our approach draws on strengths of causal inference, uplift modeling, and multi-armed

ICLR 20182018Deep neural networks are often desired in environments with limited memory and computational power (such as mobile devices), where it is beneficial to perform model quantization – training networks with low-precision weights. A key mechanism commonly used in training quantized nets is the straight-through gradient method, which enables back-propagation through the quantization mapping. Despite its success

ICML 20182018The Gaussian mechanism is an essential building block used in multitude of differentially private data analysis algorithms. In this paper we revisit the Gaussian mechanism and show that the original analysis has several important limitations. Our analysis reveals that the variance formula for the original mechanism is far from tight in the high privacy regime (ε → 0) and it cannot be extended to the low
