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.

FMCAD 20202020In practice, few security bugs found in source code are urgent, but quickly identifying which ones are is hard. We describe the application of bounded model checking to triaging reported issues quickly at the cloud service provider Amazon Web Services (AWS). We focus on the job of reactive security experts who need to determine the severity of bugs found in the Xen hypervisor. We show that, using our publicly

RecSys 2020 Workshop on Online Recommender Systems and User Modeling2020Classical approaches to recommendation systems like collaborative filtering learn a static model given the user historic interaction data. These approaches do not perform well in dynamic environments where the sets of users and items are continually changing. Users convey their preferences implicitly by providing feedback in the form of clicks, views and ratings, as they interact with the system. Utilizing

EMNLP 20202020Dialogue level quality estimation is vital for optimizing data driven dialogue management. Current automated methods to estimate turn and dialogue level user satisfaction employ hand-crafted features and rely on complex annotation schemes, which reduce the generalizability of the trained models. We propose a novel user satisfaction estimation approach which minimizes an adaptive multi-task loss function

ICDM 20202020Entity linkage (EL) is a critical problem in data cleaning and integration. In the past several decades, EL has typically been done by rule-based systems or traditional machine learning models with hand-curated features, both of which heavily depend on manual human inputs. With the ever-increasing growth of new data, deep learning (DL) based approaches have been proposed to alleviate the high cost of EL

Interspeech 20202020For an interactive agent, such as task-oriented spoken dialog systems or chatbots, measuring and adapting to Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) is critical in order to understand user perception of an agent’s behavior and increase user engagement and retention. However, an agent often relies on explicit customer feedback for measuring CSAT. Such explicit feedback may result in potential distraction to users and
