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.
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.

2025The increasing complexity and fragmentation of financial systems in large organizations have created significant challenges for financial teams, particularly in performing real-time, end-to-end validation, as existing validation methods relying on static rules or batch processing are often inadequate for today's dynamic financial environments. This paper introduces a novel approach using Large Language

KDD 2025 Workshop on LLM4ECommerce2025We present an autonomous framework that leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) to automate end-to-end business analysis and market report generation. At its core, the system employs specialized agents - Researcher, Reviewer, Writer, and Retriever - that collaborate to analyze data and produce comprehensive reports. These agents learn from real professional consultants' presentation materials at Amazon through

IROS 20252025We present and tackle the problem of Embodied Question Answering (EQA) with Situational Queries (S-EQA) in a household environment. Unlike prior EQA work tackling simple queries that directly reference target objects and properties ('What is the color of the car?'), situational queries (such as 'Is the house ready for sleeptime?') are challenging as they require the agent to correctly identify multiple

2025Text style transfer in enterprise environments presents unique challenges that extend beyond traditional style transfer approaches, particularly when dealing with complex technical documentation and strict organizational guidelines. This paper introduces Onoma, a novel enterprise-scale style transfer system that addresses the fundamental challenges of maintaining consistent brand voice while preserving

IEEE 2025 Workshop on Machine Learning for Signal Processing (MLSP)2025In this paper we investigate cross-lingual Text-To-Speech (TTS) synthesis through the lens of adapters, in the context of lightweight TTS systems. In particular, we compare the tasks of unseen speaker and language adaptation with the goal of synthesising a target voice in a target language, in which the target voice has no recordings therein. Results from objective evaluations demonstrate the effectiveness
