AGI SVP Rohit Prasad on how to mix your data with Amazon's training data at every stage — deep customization without catastrophic forgetting.
Reasoning models can generate seven to 10 times as many tokens as necessary on simple tasks, creating unsustainable costs at scale. Amazon's vision for metacognitive AI could fundamentally shift how models allocate computational resources.
How agentic systems work under the hood — and how AWS’s new AgentCore framework implements their essential components.
Competitive-agent architecture develops security protections at machine speed, reducing weeks of work to hours.

ARR 20252025Language models have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in reasoning tasks through test-time scaling techniques like best-of-N sampling and tree search. However, these approaches often demand substantial computational resources, creating a critical trade-off between performance and efficiency. We introduce STAND (STochastic Adaptive N-gram Drafting), a novel model-free speculative decoding approach that

2025Task-Oriented Dialogue (TOD) systems have become increasingly important for real-world applications, yet existing frameworks face significant challenges in handling unstructured information, providing multilingual support, and engaging proactively. We propose SMART (Scalable Multilingual Approach for a Robust TOD System), a novel TOD framework that effectively addresses these limitations. SMART combines

CIKM 20252025Search query understanding (QU) is an important building block of the modern e-commerce search engines. QU extracts multiple intents from customer queries, including intended color, brand, etc. One of the most important tasks in QU is predicting which product category the user is interested in. In our work we are tapping into query product type classification (Q2PT) task. Compared to classification of full-fledged

2025Data perspectivism goes beyond majority vote label aggregation by recognizing various perspectives as legitimate ground truths. However, current evaluation practices remain fragmented, making it difficult to compare perspectivist approaches and analyze their impact on differ-ent users and demographic subgroups. To ad-dress this gap, we introduce PersEval, the first unified framework for evaluating perspectivist

2025Existing outfit recommendation frameworks focus on outfit compatibility prediction and complementary item retrieval. We present a text-driven outfit generation framework, Text2Outfit, which generates outfits controlled by text prompts. Our framework supports two forms of outfit recommendation: 1) Text-to-outfit generation, where the prompt includes the specification for each outfit item (e.g., product features
