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.

CIKM 20232023The recent surge in Large Language Model (LLM) related applications has led to a concurrent escalation in expectations for LLMs to accommodate a myriad of personas and encompass a broad spectrum of perspectives. An important first step towards addressing this demand is to align language models with specific personas, be it groups of users or individuals. Towards this goal, we first present a new conceptualization

IEEE BigData 20232023Hierarchies are common structures used to organize data, such as e-commerce hierarchies associated with product data. With these product hierarchies, we aim to learn hierarchy-aware product text embeddings to improve fine-tuning performance on a variety of downstream e-commerce tasks. Existing methods leverage hierarchies by either aligning the text embeddings to separate hierarchical embeddings or by aligning

WACV 2024 Workshop on Image/Video/Audio Quality in Computer Vision and Generative AI2023Recent works have shown great success in synchronizing lip-movements in a given video with a dubbed audio stream. However, comparison and efficacy of the synchronization capabilities of these methods is still weakly substantiated due to the lack of a generalized and visually-grounded evaluation method. This work proposes a simple and grounded algorithm – PhoVis, that can measure synchronization and the

Applied Physics Letters2023Robust, low-loss photonic packaging of on-chip nanophotonic circuits is a key enabling technology for the deployment of integrated photon- ics in a variety of classical and quantum technologies including optical communications and quantum communications, sensing, and trans- duction. To date, no process has been established that enables permanent, broadband, and cryogenically compatible coupling with sub-dB

NeurIPS 2023 Workshop on Efficient Natural Language and Speech Processing (ENLSP)2023This paper proposes a framework leveraging small samples from different Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) data sources to predict model performance and facilitate ASR data selection decisions. By utilizing data distribution distance and a mapping technique inspired by neural scaling laws, our framework estimates the model performance for various data mixtures within the disclosed range and extrapolates
