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.

2025Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) can enhance the generation quality of large language models (LLMs) by incorporating external token databases. However, retrievals from large databases can constitute a substantial portion of the overall generation time, particularly when retrievals are periodically performed to align the retrieved content with the latest states of generation. In this paper, we introduce

DCC 20252025Video compression enables the transmission of video content at low rates and high qualities to our customers. In this paper, we consider the problem of embedding a neural network directly into a video decoder. This requires a design capable of operating at latencies low enough to decode tens to hundreds of high-resolution images per second. And, additionally, a network with a complexity suitable for implementation

2025This work presents advancements in audio pretraining objectives designed to generate semantically rich embeddings, capable of addressing a wide range of audio-related tasks. Despite significant progress in the field, current methods often emphasize full fine-tuning in downstream applications, which can obscure the true potential of pretrained audio encoders. In this study, we present an audio encoder that

2025Existing automatic prompt engineering methods are typically designed for discriminative tasks, where new task prompts are iteratively refined with limited feedback from a single metric reflecting a single aspect. However, these approaches are suboptimal for generative tasks, which require more nuanced guidance beyond a single numeric metric to improve the prompt and optimize multiple aspects of the generated

Knowledge distillation is used, in generative language modeling, to train a smaller student model using the help of a larger teacher model, resulting in improved capabilities for the student model. In this paper, we formulate a more general framework for knowledge distillation where the student learns from the teacher during training, and also learns to ask for the teacher’s help at test-time following
