Expanding the mix of synthetic data used to train a tabular foundation model enables it to adapt to new tables without new models and lead the single-model field on the TabArena benchmark.
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.

Optimization Online2022We present an inventory management solution for a non-stationary capacitated multi-echelon distribution network involving thousands of products. Assuming backlogged sales, we revisit and leverage the seminal multi-echelon inventory management results in the literature to establish the structural properties of the problem, and derive an efficient and practical solution method. In particular, we describe

KDD 2022 Workshop on First Content Understanding and Generation for e-Commerce2022Slate-level recommendation is widely adopted in online services including e-commerce, video streaming and news services. Customers may observe a set of recommended items and interact with the content accordingly. Due to the combinatorial characteristics of slate level recommendation, various current ranking models are still aiming to optimize item level scores, instead of the slate level score. One key

USENIX ATC 20222022Amazon DynamoDB is a NoSQL cloud database service that provides consistent performance at any scale. Hundreds of thousands of customers rely on DynamoDB for its fundamental properties: consistent performance, availability, durability, and a fully managed serverless experience. In 2021, during the 66-hour Amazon Prime Day shopping event, Amazon systems - including Alexa, the Amazon.com sites, and Amazon

APSys Workshop on Systems2022Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are widely used in real world applications, e.g, computer vision. Winograd based convolution are usually applied due to its low computation complexity. For the underling hardware, ARM many-core CPUs, by their price performance, are favored by cloud providers like Amazon Web Services (AWS). However, existing Winograd convolution implementations for ARM architecture are

RLDM 2022 Workshop2022We study task-agnostic continual reinforcement learning (TACRL) in which standard RL challenges are compounded with partial observability stemming from ask agnosticism, as well as additional difficulties of continual learning (CL), i.e., learning on a non-stationary sequence of tasks. Here we compare TACRL methods with their soft upper bounds prescribed by previous literature: multi-task learning (MTL)
