Interspeech 20232023Streaming Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) in voice assistants can utilize prefetching to partially hide the latency of response generation. Prefetching involves passing a preliminary ASR hypothesis to downstream systems in order to prefetch and cache a response. If the final ASR hypothesis after endpoint detection matches the preliminary one, the cached response can be delivered to the user, thus saving

USENIX ATC 20232023AWS Lambda is a serverless event-driven compute service, part of a category of cloud compute offerings sometimes called Function-as-a-service (FaaS). When we first released AWS Lambda, functions were limited to 250MB of code and dependencies, packaged as a simple compressed archive. In 2020, we released support for deploying container images as large as 10GiB as Lambda functions, allowing customers to bring

KDD 20232023With the growing needs of online A/B testing to support innovation in industry, the opportunity cost of running an experiment becomes non-negligible. Therefore, there is an increasing demand for an efficient continuous monitoring service that allows early stopping when appropriate. Classic statistical methods focus on hypothesis testing and are mostly developed for traditional high-stakes problems such

SIGMOD/PODS 20232023There has been a lot of excitement around using machine learning to improve the performance and usability of database systems. However, few of these techniques have actually been used in the critical path of customer-facing database services. In this paper, we describe Auto-WLM, a machine learning based automatic workload manager currently used in production in Amazon Redshift. Auto-WLM is an example of

SIGIR 20232023Finding the right product on e-commerce websites with millions of products is a daunting task for a large set of customers. On the search page, product attribute filters a.k.a. “refinements” emerge as a convenient navigational option for customers to narrow down the search results along product attributes of their choice (e.g., Material:Cotton, Color:Black for ’shirt’). However, on mobile devices, refinements
