As AI models grow larger, they become less insightful, not more. To ensure that they continue to learn, we need to reduce their inference time.
How do you match AI warnings about future events with what actually happens? A KDD test-of-time award recognizes a 2014 approach that modern systems still need.
In-context learning enables a model that can solve forecasting tasks with an arbitrary number of dimensions in a zero-shot manner.
The pandemic turbo-charged retail growth — teams of scientists at Amazon forged a path forward to handle the scale.

February 2, 202610 min readEvery NFL game generates millions of tracking data points from 22 RFID-equipped players. Seventy-five machine learning models running on AWS process that data in under a second, transforming football into a sport where every movement is measured, modeled, and instantly analyzed. -

Journal of the Acoustical Society of America2024We propose a personalization framework to adapt compact models to test time environments and improve their speech enhancement performance in noisy and reverberant conditions. The use-cases are when the end-user device encounters only one or a few speakers and noise types that tend to reoccur in the specific acoustic environment. Hence, we postulate a small personalized model that suffices to handle this

Information retrieval (IR) is a pivotal component in various applications. Recent advances in machine learning (ML) have enabled the integration of ML algorithms into IR, particularly in ranking systems. While there is a plethora of research on the robustness of ML-based ranking systems, these studies largely neglect commercial e-commerce systems and fail to establish a connection between real-world and

WSDM 20242024Review of non-taxable products is an important internal audit which is carried out by majority of e-commerce stakeholders. This process usually cross checks the initial taxability assignments to avoid any unnecessary penalties incurred to the companies during the actual audits by the respective state compliance teams/tax departments. In order to handle millions of products sold online on e-commerce websites

TKDD 20242024This paper presents a comprehensive and practical guide for practitioners and end-users working with Large Language Models (LLMs) in their downstream natural language processing (NLP) tasks. We provide discussions and insights into the usage of LLMs from the perspectives of models, data, and downstream tasks. Firstly, we offer an introduction and brief summary of current language models. Then, we discuss

2024Applications of large-scale knowledge graphs in the e-commerce platforms can improve shopping experience for their customers. While existing e-commerce knowledge graphs (KGs) integrate a large volume of concepts or product attributes, they fail to discover user intentions, leaving the gap with how people think, behave, and interact with surrounding world. In this work, we present COSMO, a scalable system
