From reimagining storage to serverless computing, Aurora continues to push the boundaries of what's possible in database technology.
Amazon VP and distinguished scientist Byron Cook explains how AWS's new Automated Reasoning checks address key challenges in automated reasoning: translating natural to structured language, defining truth, and definitive reasoning.
Trained on millions of hours of data from Amazon fulfillment centers and sortation centers, Amazon’s new DeepFleet models predict future traffic patterns for fleets of mobile robots.
A new philosophy for developing LLM architectures reduces energy requirements, speeds up runtime, and preserves pretrained-model performance.

IEEE Quantum Week 20242024Quantum computers have the potential to outperform classical computers in important tasks such as optimization and number factoring. They are characterized by limited connectivity, which necessitates the routing of their computational bits, known as qubits, to specific locations during program execution to carry out quantum operations. Traditionally, the NP-hard optimization problem of minimizing the routing

2024Complex dialog systems often use retrieved evidence to facilitate factual responses. Such RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) systems retrieve from massive heterogeneous data stores that are usually architected as multiple indexes or APIs instead of a single monolithic source. For a given query, relevant evidence needs to be retrieved from one or a small subset of possible retrieval sources. Complex queries

ACM Multimedia 20242024In this paper, we introduce a new challenging task called Zero-Shot Controllable Image-to-Video Animation, where the goal is to animate an image based on motion trajectories defined by the user, without fine-tuning the base model. Primary challenges include maintaining consistency of background, consistency of object in motion, faithfulness to the user-defined trajectory, and quality of motion animation

Physical Review E2024A hypergraph is a generalization of a graph that arises naturally when attribute-sharing among entities is considered. Compared to graphs, hypergraphs have the distinct advantage that they contain explicit communities and are more convenient to manipulate. An open problem in hypergraph research is how to accurately and efficiently calculate node distances on hypergraphs. Estimating node distances enables

MMSP 20242024In live video streaming, the size of manifest grows linearly as the overall time duration of manifest increases in many scenarios. Such a behavior exists across streaming technologies, e.g. Dynamic Adaptive Streaming through HTTP (DASH), HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) and Microsoft Smooth Streaming (MSS). It introduces significant overhead for manifest generation on cloud services, download latency and network
