A new approach to reducing carbon emissions reveals previously hidden emission “hotspots” within value chains, helping organizations make more detailed and dynamic decisions about their future carbon footprints.
How agentic systems work under the hood — and how AWS’s new AgentCore framework implements their essential components.
New technologies are helping vulnerable communities produce maps that integrate topographical, infrastructural, seasonal, and real-time data — an essential tool for many humanitarian endeavors.
In-context learning enables a model that can solve forecasting tasks with an arbitrary number of dimensions in a zero-shot manner.

2024Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated superior abilities in tasks such as chatting, reasoning, and question-answering. However, standard LLMs may ignore crucial paralinguistic information, such as sentiment, emotion, and speaking style, which are essential for achieving natural, human-like spoken conversation, especially when such information is conveyed by acoustic cues. We therefore propose Paralinguistics-enhanced

2024Makeup transfer involves transferring makeup from a reference image to a target image while maintaining the target’s identity. Existing methods, which use Generative Adversarial Networks, often transfer not just makeup but also the reference image’s skin tone. This limits their use to similar skin tones and introduces bias. Our solution introduces a skin tone-robust makeup embedding achieved by augmenting

WACV 2024 Workshop on Physical Retail AI2024Demand prediction is a crucial task for e-commerce and physical retail businesses, especially during high-stake sales events. However, the limited availability of historical data from these peak periods poses a significant challenge for traditional forecasting methods. In this paper, we propose a novel approach that leverages proxy data from non-peak periods, enriched by features learned from a graph neural

SDM 20242024Locality-sensitive hashing (LSH) is a fundamental algorithmic technique widely employed in large-scale data processing applications, such as nearest-neighbor search, entity resolution, and clustering. However, its applicability in some real- world scenarios is limited due to the need for careful design of hashing functions that align with specific metrics. Exist- ing LSH-based Entity Blocking solutions

AAAI 20242024Knowledge distillation aims at reducing model size without compromising much performance. Recent work has applied it to large vision-language (VL) Transformers, and has shown that attention maps in the multi-head attention modules of vision-language Transformers contain extensive intra-modal and cross-modal co-reference relations to be distilled. The standard approach is to apply a one-to-one attention
