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.

Interspeech 20212021End-to-end (E2E) spoken language understanding (SLU) systems predict utterance semantics directly from speech using a single model. Previous work in this area has focused on targeted tasks in fixed domains, where the output semantic structure is assumed a priori and the input speech is of limited complexity. In this work we present our approach to developing an E2E model for generalized SLU in commercial

Interspeech 20212021We propose a weakly-supervised model for word-level mispronunciation detection in non-native (L2) English speech. To train this model, phonetically transcribed L2 speech is not required and we only need to mark mispronounced words. The lack of phonetic transcriptions for L2 speech means that the model has to learn only from a weak signal of word-level mispronunciations. Because of that and due to the limited

Interspeech 20212021We present a training scheme for streaming automatic speech recognition (ASR) based on recurrent neural network transducers (RNN-T) which allows the encoder network to learn to exploit context audio from a stream, using segmented or partially labeled sequences of the stream during training. We show that the use of context audio during training and inference can lead to word error rate reductions of more

Interspeech 20212021Recent studies have shown that it may be possible to determine if a machine learning model was trained on a given data sample, using Membership Inference Attacks (MIA). In this paper we evaluate the vulnerability of state-of-the-art speech recognition models to MIA under black-box access. Using models trained with standard methods and public datasets, we demonstrate that without any knowledge of the target

Interspeech 20212021Key challenges in developing generalized automatic emotion recognition systems include scarcity of labeled data and lack of gold-standard references. Even for the cues that are labeled as the same emotion category, the variability of associated expressions can be high depending on the elicitation context e.g., emotion elicited during improvised conversations vs. acted sessions with predefined scripts.
