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. -

EMNLP 20232023Document image classification is different from plain-text document classification and consists of classifying a document by understanding the content and structure of documents such as forms, emails, and other such documents. We show that the only existing dataset for this task (Lewis et al., 2006) has several limitations and we introduce two newly curated multilingual datasets (WIKI-DOC and MULTIEURLEX

EMNLP 20232023As large language models (LLMs) have shown effectiveness with different prompting methods, such as Chain of Thought, Program of Thought, we find that these methods have formed a great complementarity to each other on math reasoning tasks. In this work, we propose XoT, an integrated problem solving framework by prompting LLMs with diverse reasoning thoughts. For each question, XoT always begins with selecting

EMNLP 20232023Text classifiers are an indispensable tool for machine learning practitioners, but adapting them to new classes is expensive. To reduce the cost of new classes, previous work exploits class descriptions and/or labels from existing classes. However, these approaches leave a gap in the model development cycle as they support either zero- or few-shot learning but not both. Existing classifiers either do not

EMNLP 20232023Conventional speech-to-text translation (ST) systems are trained on single-speaker utterances, and they may not generalize to real-life scenarios where the audio contains conversations by multiple speakers. In this paper, we tackle single-channel multi-speaker conversational ST with an end-to-end and multi-task training model, named Speaker-Turn Aware Conversational Speech Translation, that combines automatic

EMNLP 20232023Readability refers to how easily a reader can understand a written text. Several factors affect the readability level, such as the complexity of the text, its subject matter, and the reader’s background knowledge. Generating summaries based on different readability levels is critical for enabling knowledge consumption by diverse audiences. However, current text generation approaches lack refined control
