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.

NeurIPS 20222022Although the variational autoencoder (VAE) and its conditional extension (CVAE) are capable of state-of-the-art results across multiple domains, their precise behavior is still not fully understood, particularly in the context of data (like images) that lie on or near a low-dimensional manifold. For example, while prior work has suggested that the globally optimal VAE solution can learn the correct manifold

ICML 20222022The fundamental challenge of drawing causal inference is that counterfactual outcomes are not fully observed for any unit. Furthermore, in observational studies, treatment assignment is likely to be confounded. Many statistical methods have emerged for causal inference under unconfoundedness conditions given pre-treatment covariates, including: propensity score-based methods, prognostic score-based methods

WACV 20232022The common implementation of face recognition systems as a cascade of a detection stage and a recognition or verification stage can cause problems beyond failures of the detector. When the detector succeeds, it can detect faces that cannot be recognized, no matter how capable the recognition system is. Recognizability, a latent variable, should therefore be factored into the design and implementation of

AACL-IJCNLP 20222022A bottleneck to developing Semantic Parsing (SP) models is the need for a large volume of human-labeled training data. Given the complexity and cost of human annotation for SP, labeled data is often scarce, particularly in multilingual settings. Large Language Models (LLMs) excel at SP given only a few examples, however LLMs are unsuitable for runtime systems which require low latency. In this work, we

ICML 2022 Workshop on Pre-training: Perspectives, Pitfalls, and Paths Forward2022While self-supervised learning has enabled effective representation learning in the absence of labels, for vision, video remains a relatively untapped source of supervision. To address this, we propose Pixel-level Correspondence (PICO), a method for dense contrastive learning from video. By tracking points with optical flow, we obtain a correspondence map which can be used to match local features at different
