  • Deep factors with Gaussian processes for forecasting
    Danielle Maddix Robinson, Yuyang (Bernie) Wang, Alex Smola
    NeurIPS 2018
    2018
    A large collection of time series poses significant challenges for classical and neural forecasting approaches. Classical time series models fail to fit data well and to scale to large problems, but succeed at providing uncertainty estimates. The converse is true for deep neural networks. In this paper, we propose a hybrid model that incorporates the benefits of both approaches. Our new method is data-driven

  • A simple transfer-learning extension of Hyperband
    Lazar Valkov, Rodolphe Jenatton, Fela Winkelmolen, Cédric Archambeau
    NeurIPS 2018
    2018
    Hyperband has become a popular method to tune the hyperparameters (HPs) of expensive machine learning models, whose performance depends on the amount of resources allocated for training. While Hyperband is conceptually simple, combining random search to a successive halving technique to reallocate resources to the most promising HPs, it often outperforms standard Bayesian optimization when solutions with

Senior Inference Engineer, AGI
US, CA, Sunnyvale
We are looking for a Senior Inference Engineer to own inference for real-time multimodal conversational AI. This is a full-stack inference role: you will work across the entire path a model takes from research to production — shaping model architecture so it is servable, building the real-time runtime that serves it within hard latency budgets, and building the offline systems that train and reinforce it. You will operate at the boundary of Science and Inference, taking frontier-scale speech and audio models and making them run within real-time latency budgets on production hardware. You will co-design architectures with scientists to make them inference-friendly from inception, own the low-latency streaming serving path, and build the training and reinforcement-learning infrastructure that closes the loop. You will have the compute, data, and runway to solve problems that few teams in the world are positioned to tackle. As a Senior Engineer, you will own a significant area of the inference stack end to end, drive its technical execution, contribute to the team's roadmap, and work closely with scientists and hardware partners to ensure our models run fast enough to feel human in real time — and at a cost that makes them viable at scale. You may go deep in one of the areas below while contributing across the others. Key job responsibilities Model Architecture & Inference Co-Design • Partner with research scientists to make model architectures servable from inception — surfacing the latency, memory, and cost implications of architecture choices before they are locked in • Implement and optimize the inference path for large-scale multimodal models — attention and KV-cache mechanisms, multimodal/autoregressive decoding, and the compute primitives on the critical path Apply efficiency techniques across the stack — quantization (per-tensor/per-channel/per- group, INT8/FP8/BF16), speculative decoding, operator fusion, and paged KV-cache — and quantify their quality/latency trade-offs • Develop and tune high-performance kernels for critical operations where off-the-shelf implementations leave performance on the table, integrating them into production serving with minimal overhead • Profile end-to-end performance with tools such as Nsight Compute/Systems and roofline analysis to identify and eliminate bottlenecks in large-scale inference workloads Real-Time & Interactive Runtime • Own the real-time serving path for streaming multimodal conversational AI, meeting sub- second, streaming latency budgets under concurrent session load • Build and tune continuous batching, scheduling, and preemption to balance throughput against per-request latency SLAs for interactive workloads • Customize production serving frameworks (e.g., vLLM, PyTorch) for real-time streaming generative models that fall outside standard LLM serving patterns — sustained low-latency output under concurrent session load • Implement multi-GPU inference (tensor parallelism, collective communication) for latency- critical paths, and drive cost toward parity with existing production baselines • Establish latency, throughput, and cost benchmarking, and publish the operational metrics that gate deployment Offline Systems: Training, RL & Evaluation Infrastructure • Build and scale the offline inference systems behind post-training — high-throughput rollout generation and reward-model serving for reinforcement learning (RL/RLHF/RLAIF) • Ensure train/serve consistency — that the inference path used in RL and evaluation faithfully matches production online behavior (e.g., parity across sampling and logit processing) • Work with the evaluation team to enable offline inference that captures the quality dimensions unique to real-time conversation — latency sensitivity, audio quality, and interaction naturalness

Applied Scientist II, Amazon Recommerce India
IN, KA, Bengaluru
Every product a customer returns is a moment where Amazon either recovers value or writes it off — and India's ReCommerce business is on a multi-million-dollar mission to recover more of it, more intelligently, at scale. Machine learning is the core lever: predicting whether a returned unit is sellable without a human touching it, detecting damage and fraud inside sealed packaging from images, routing each unit to its highest-value disposition, and pricing recovered inventory dynamically. India's returns network is large, fast-growing, and structurally different from other geographies — a rich, high-impact environment for an Applied Scientist to build models that move real financial and customer-experience metrics. We are hiring an Applied Scientist to build and adapt the ML that powers India ReCommerce. You will work at the intersection of two mandates: building India-first models for problems unique to our market, and adapting proven Worldwide models to India's data, catalog, and operational reality — recalibrating them where distribution, language, and process differ. You will own problems end-to-end, from framing and data through modeling, evaluation, and production deployment, partnering closely with engineering, product, and operations. Key job responsibilities Build ML models for automated returns grading — predicting the salability of returned units from structured and unstructured signals so units can be evaluated with zero or minimal human touch, improving speed, accuracy, and recovery value. Develop computer-vision models for defect detection, condition assessment, and anomaly/fraud identification (including inside sealed packaging), and for establishing chain-of-custody and damage attribution across the returns journey. Build disposition-prediction and routing models that direct each unit to its highest-value recovery path (resale, repair, liquidation, donation, recycle) as early as possible in the network. Develop pricing and recovery-optimization models for liquidation and resale, moving from flat rates toward dynamic, grade- and condition-aware pricing. Adapt Worldwide ML models to India — retraining, recalibrating, and re-evaluating for India's return distribution, catalog, languages, and operational constraints, and closing the gaps that prevent a direct lift-and-shift. Own the full model lifecycle — problem framing, data pipelines, feature engineering, training, offline/online evaluation, monitoring, and retraining — with rigorous attention to calibration, drift, and business-metric impact. Partner cross-functionally with engineering (to productionize), product (to frame problems and measure impact), and operations (to ground models in how the network actually runs), and use modern GenAI/LLM tooling to accelerate research and delivery. A day in the life You start by reviewing the performance of a grading model in production — checking calibration and drift against last week's returns, and confirming the recovery-value lift is holding. Mid-morning, you dig into a computer-vision problem: improving detection of a damage type that's driving write-offs, using images captured across the returns journey. In the afternoon you work with a Worldwide science team to bring one of their models to India — scoping what retraining and recalibration India's data requires — then pair with an engineer to move your latest model toward production behind a clean evaluation gate. You close by framing a new problem with a product partner: quantifying the opportunity, defining the label and success metric, and sketching the modeling approach. About the team India ReCommerce owns the systems and science that turn returned and unsellable inventory into recovered value and a better customer experience. You will join a team building an increasingly automated, ML-driven returns network — leveraging Worldwide platforms where they fit and building India-first capabilities where they don't. It is a high-ownership environment with a direct line from your models to measurable business and customer outcomes.
