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.

VLDB 20202020How should we split data among the nodes of a distributed data warehouse in order to boost performance for a forecasted workload? In this paper, we study the effect of different data partitioning schemes on the overall network cost of pairwise joins. We describe a generally-applicable data distribution framework initially designed for Amazon Redshift, a fully-managed petabyte-scale data warehouse in the

ECCV 20202020Interactive image retrieval is an emerging research topic with the objective of integrating inputs from multiple modalities as query for retrieval, e.g., textual feedback from users to guide, modify or refine image retrieval. In this work, we study the problem of composing images and textual modifications for language-guided retrieval in the context of fashion applications. We propose a unified Joint Visual

ECCV 20202020We propose a weakly supervised approach to semantic segmentation using bounding box annotations. Bounding boxes are treated as noisy labels for the foreground objects. We predict a per-class attention map that saliently guides the per-pixel cross entropy loss to focus on foreground pixels and refines the segmentation boundaries. This avoids propagating erroneous gradients due to incorrect foreground labels

ECCV 20202020We introduce the task of Image-Set Visual Question Answering (ISVQA), which generalizes the commonly studied single-image VQA problem to multi-image settings. Taking a natural language question and a set of images as input, it aims to answer the question based on the content of the images. The questions can be about objects and relationships in one or more images or about the entire scene depicted by the

ECCV 20202020Many current activity recognition models use 3D convolutional neural networks (e.g. I3D, I3D-NL) to generate local spatial-temporal features. However, such features do not encode clip-level ordered temporal information. In this paper, we introduce a channel independent directional convolution (CIDC) operation, which learns to model the temporal evolution among local features. By applying multiple CIDC units
