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.

In the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP), sentence pair classification is important in various real-world applications. Bi-encoders are commonly used to address these problems due to their low-latency requirements, and their ability to act as effective retrievers. However, bi-encoders often under-perform compared to cross-encoders by a significant margin. To address this gap, many Knowledge Distillation

Federated Learning (FL) is a popular algorithm to train ma-chine learning models on user data constrained to edge devices (for example, mobile phones) due to privacy concerns. Typically, FL is trained with the assumption that no part of the user data can be egressed from the edge. However, in many production settings, specific data-modalities/meta-data are limited to be on device while others are not. For

AISTATS 20242024Multi-objective optimization (MOO) aims to optimize multiple, possibly conflicting objectives with widespread applications. We introduce a novel interacting particle method for MOO inspired by molecular dynamics simulations. Our approach combines overdamped Langevin and birth-death dynamics, incorporating a “dominance potential” to steer particles toward global Pareto optimality. In contrast to previous

2024Large Language models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive in-context learning (ICL) capabilities, where a LLM makes predictions for a given test input together with a few input-output pairs (demonstrations). Nevertheless, the inclusion of demonstrations leads to a quadratic increase in the computational overhead of the self-attention mechanism. Existing solutions attempt to distill lengthy demonstrations

The Web Conference 2024, 2023 Conference on Digital Experimentation @ MIT (CODE@MIT)2024Adaptive experimental design (AED) methods are increasingly be-ing used in industry as a tool to boost testing throughput or reduce experimentation cost relative to traditional A/B/N testing methods. However, the behavior and guarantees of such methods are not well-understood beyond idealized stationary settings. This paper shares lessons learned regarding the challenges of naively using AED systems in
