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.

EMNLP 20222022Phrase similarity is a key component of many NLP applications. Current phrase similarity methods focus on embedding the phrase itself and use the phrase context only during training of the pretrained model. To better leverage the information in the context, we propose McPhraSy (Multi-context Phrase Similarity), a novel algorithm for estimating the similarity of phrases based on multiple contexts. At inference

SIGDIAL 20222022While rich, open-domain textual data are generally available and may include interesting phenomena (humor, sarcasm, empathy, etc.) most are designed for language processing tasks, and are usually in a non-conversational format. In this work, we take a step towards automatically generating conversational data using Generative Conversational Networks, aiming to benefit from the breadth of available language

EMNLP 20222022Dialogue meaning representation formulates natural language utterance semantics in their conversational context in an explicit and machine-readable form. Previous work typically follows the intent-slot framework, which is easy for annotation yet limited in scalability for complex linguistic expressions. A line of works alleviates the representation issue by introducing hierarchical structures but challenging

NeurIPS 20222022Recent advance in deep learning has led to the rapid adoption of machine learning-based NLP models in a wide range of applications. Despite the continuous gain in accuracy, backward compatibility is also an important aspect for industrial applications, yet it received little research attention. Backward compatibility requires that the new model does not regress on cases that were correctly handled by its

EMNLP 20222022Natural language understanding (NLU) models are a core component of large-scale conversational assistants. Collecting training data for these models through manual annotations is slow and expensive that impedes the pace of model improvement. We present a three stage approach to address this challenge: First, we identify a large set of relatively infrequent utterances from live traffic where the users implicitly
