Amazon scientists and policy experts discuss how the company’s responsible-AI pipeline embeds safety and values throughout the AI development lifecycle.
Agentic mechanism enables Amazon and vendors to optimize supply chain management without disclosing private information.
How we reproduced three attacks that extract private training data from AI models and the cryptographic defenses that stop them.
Amazon engineers and scientists have created new tools to optimize delivery networks under uncertainty — and keep them adapting without missing a beat.

ACL 2023 Workshop on SustaiNLP2023Personalized dialogue agents (DAs) powered by large pre-trained language models (PLMs) often rely on explicit persona descriptions to maintain personality consistency. However, such descriptions may not always be available or may pose privacy concerns. To tackle this bottleneck, we introduce PersonaPKT, a lightweight transfer learning approach that can build persona-consistent dialogue models without explicit

Machine Translation Summit 2023 (MTS)2023The expectations of e-commerce customers include the ability to shop online in their preferred language. Modern e-commerce platforms utilize machine translation to provide multilingual product information at scale. However, maintaining machine translation quality that keeps up with an ever-expanding product information remains an open challenge for industrial machine translation systems. Topical clustering

KDD 2023 Workshop on e-Commerce and NLP (ECNLP 6)2023Pool-based active learning techniques have had success producing multi-class classifiers that achieve high accuracy with fewer labels compared to random labeling. However, in an industrial setting where we often have class-level business targets to achieve (e.g., 95% recall at 95% precision for each class), active learning techniques continue to acquire labels for classes that have already met their targets

KDD 2023 ACM SIGKDD Workshop on Causal Discovery, Prediction and Decision (CDPD)2023Companies offering web services routinely run randomized online experiments to estimate the “causal impact” associated with the adoption of new features and policies on key performance metrics of interest. These experiments are used to estimate a variety of effects: the increase in click rate due to the repositioning of a banner, the impact on subscription rate as a consequence of a discount or special

ICLR 2023 Tiny Papers2023We present a novel strategy to generate learned learning rate schedules for any optimizer using reinforcement learning (RL). Our approach trains a Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) agent to predict optimal learning rate schedules for SGD, which we compare with other optimizer-scheduler combinations and full grid search. Our experiments show that the agent learns to generate dynamic schedules that result
