Runtime optimizations and a thorough evaluation process driven by agentic AI help ensure that models written in PyTorch will execute efficiently and reliably on Trainium systems.
Using the Neuron Kernel Interface, a Reactor–AWS collaboration tackled the dynamic shapes, memory access patterns, and cache management that make real-time autoregressive diffusion hard—building techniques that generalize across models.
Three new papers from Amazon Bio Discovery address bottlenecks in AI-driven antibody engineering, from benchmarking binding predictors to experimentally validating de novo design.
New research indicates that AI agents learn compressible models of data, which don’t have enough space to enable memorization.
How the Verus "program verifier", which automatically checks code against a mathematical specification of its functionality, helps increase security assurance in software projects.
Ten years after we founded the Automated Reasoning Group, mathematical logic has moved from academic research into production services that secure millions of customer workloads — demonstrating that systems can be provably correct, not just probably correct.

RecSys 2022 Workshop on CONSEQUENCES – Causality, Counterfactuals and Sequential Decision-Making2022We propose diagnostics, based on control variates, to detect data quality issues in logged bandit feedback data, which is of critical importance for accurate offline evaluation and training of recommendation policies. Our diagnostics can provably detect two common types of data issues: (1) when the policy that logged the data was insufficiently randomized; (2) when the logged propensity values are incorrect

CONSEQUENCES+REVEAL 20222022A critical need for industrial recommender systems is the ability to evaluate recommendation policies offline, before deploying them to production. Unfortunately, widely used off-policy evaluation methods either make strong assumptions about how users behave that can lead to excessive bias, or they make fewer assumptions and suffer from large variance. We tackle this problem by developing a new estimator

UAI 20222022Despite the increasing relevance of forecasting methods, causal implications of these algorithms remain largely unexplored. This is concerning considering that, even under simplifying assumptions such as causal sufficiency, the statistical risk of a model can differ significantly from its causal risk. Here, we study the problem of causal generalization—generalizing from the observational to interventional

Doctoral Dissertation2022The theme of this work is improving Computer-Assisted Pronunciation Training (CAPT) for the task of languages learning. The central hypothesis is that accuracy of ML models for the detection of pronunciation errors is impacted by the limited amount of training data available, and that this limitation can be overcome by using synthetic speech generation and end-to-end modelling; if a generative model that

Recsys 2022 Workshop on Multi-Objective Recommender Systems2022Recommendations systems play a central role in improving customer experience on the Amazon retail website. Commonly, Learning-to-Rank (LTR) methods are employed to rank content, however these methods are subject to bias inherent in the observational data that they use for training. This paper studies a domain-specific self-selection bias, called Content Targeting Bias, introduced when content is generated
