Amazon Scholar Aravind Srinivasan coauthored a 2014 paper about forecasting civil unrest in Latin America, which won a test-of-time award at KDD 2025.
The pandemic turbo-charged retail growth — teams of scientists at Amazon forged a path forward to handle the scale.
In-context learning enables a model that can solve forecasting tasks with an arbitrary number of dimensions in a zero-shot manner.
Every 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.
"Reinforcement learning gyms" train agents on the many low-level tasks that they must chain together to execute customer requests.

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

2025E-commerce stores increasingly use Large Language Models (LLMs) to enhance catalog data quality through automated regeneration. A critical challenge is accurately predicting missing structured attribute values across multilingual product catalogs, where LLM performance varies significantly by language. While existing approaches leverage general knowledge through prompt engineering and external retrieval

VLDB 20252025Cloud service providers usually leverage standard benchmarks such as TPC-H and TPC-DS to evaluate and optimize the performance of cloud data analytic systems. However, these benchmarks have fixed query patterns and are unable to effectively generate statistics of the cloud workloads in production. For example, they cannot simulate the real workload with the similar performance metrics such as CPU Time and
