Language models inspired by specialized processing regions in the brain offer significant time and cost savings.
An ensemble of models, weighted according to their reluctance to flag anomalies, outperforms its predecessors.
Unique end-of-arm tools with three-dimensional force sensors and innovative control algorithms enable robotic arms to “pick” items from and “stow” items in fabric storage pods.
In 2017, IEEE Internet Computing identified a single paper from its publication history that had best withstood the test of time: a 2003 paper called “Amazon.com Recommendations: Item-to-Item Collaborative Filtering”
We present Amazon Nova Premier, our most capable multimodal foundation model and teacher for model distillation.

2025Fixed-size learned representations (dense representations, or embeddings) are widely used in many machine learning applications across language, vision or speech modalities. This paper investigates the role of the temperature parameter in contrastive training for text embeddings. We shed light on the impact this parameter has on the intrinsic dimensionality of the embedding spaces obtained, and show that

2025Direct alignment algorithms (DAAs), such as direct preference optimization (DPO), have become popular alternatives for Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) due to their simplicity, efficiency, and stability. However, the preferences used in DAAs are usually collected before the alignment training begins and remain unchanged (off-policy). This design leads to two problems where the policy model

2025Generative models that satisfy hard constraints are critical in many scientific and engineering applications, where physical laws or system requirements must be strictly respected. Many existing constrained generative models, especially those developed for computer vision, rely heavily on gradient information, which is often sparse or computationally expensive in some fields, e.g., partial differential

2025Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have demonstrated impressive performance across a versatile set of tasks. A key challenge in accelerating VLMs is storing and accessing the large Key-Value (KV) cache that encodes long visual contexts, such as images or videos. While existing KV cache compression methods are effective for Large Language Models (LLMs), directly migrating them to VLMs yields suboptimal accuracy

2025Faithfulness evaluators based on large language models (LLMs) are often fooled by the fluency of the text and struggle with identifying errors in the summaries. We propose an approach to summary faithfulness evaluation in which multiple LLM-based agents are assigned initial stances (regardless of what their belief might be) and forced to come up with a reason to justify the imposed belief, thus engaging
