Reasoning models can generate seven to 10 times as many tokens as necessary on simple tasks, creating unsustainable costs at scale. Amazon's vision for metacognitive AI could fundamentally shift how models allocate computational resources.
Amazon's competitive-agent architecture creates a continuous improvement cycle that develops security protections at machine speed, reducing what typically takes weeks down to hours.
A new approach to reducing carbon emissions reveals previously hidden emission “hotspots” within value chains, helping organizations make more detailed and dynamic decisions about their future carbon footprints.
How agentic systems work under the hood — and how AWS’s new AgentCore framework implements their essential components.

ICRA 20232023This paper addresses the challenge of reconstructing a scene with a neural radiance field (NeRF) for robot vision and scene understanding using multiple modalities. Researchers have introduced the use of NeRF to represent an object for synthesizing and rendering novel views of complex scenes by optimizing a 3-D radiance field for ray casting and rendering for 2-D RGB images. However, using RGB images alone

ICASSP 20232023Neural contextual biasing for end-to-end neural ASR transducers has shown significant improvements in the recognition of named entities, such as contact names or device names. However, it comes with the cost of increased compute, as the biasing layers (which are usually based on cross-attention) add complexity to the neural transducers. In this paper, we propose gated contextual biasing models that can

The Web Conference 2023 Workshop on Machine Learning for Streaming Media2023To improve Amazon Music podcast services and customer engagements, we introduce Entity-Linked Topic Extraction (ELTE) to identify well-known entity and event topics from podcast episodes. An entity can be a person, organization, work-of-art, etc., while an event, such as the Opioid epidemic, occurs at specific point(s) in time. ELTE first extracts key-phrases from episode title and description metadata.

EACL 20232023Long video content understanding poses a challenging set of research questions as it involves long-distance, cross-media reasoning and knowledge awareness. In this paper, we present a new benchmark for this problem domain, targeting the task of deep movie/TV question answering (QA) beyond previous work’s focus on simple plot summary and short video moment settings. We define several baselines based on direct

The Web Conference 2023 Workshop on Decision Making for Information Retrieval and Recommender Systems2023Online testing is indispensable in decision making for information retrieval systems. Interleaving emerges as an online testing method with orders of magnitude higher sensitivity than the pervading A/B testing. It merges the compared results into a single interleaved result to show to users, and attributes user actions back to the systems being tested. However, its pairwise design also brings practical
