Trained on millions of hours of data from Amazon fulfillment centers and sortation centers, Amazon’s new DeepFleet models predict future traffic patterns for fleets of mobile robots.
A new philosophy for developing LLM architectures reduces energy requirements, speeds up runtime, and preserves pretrained-model performance.
Amazon VP and distinguished scientist Byron Cook explains how AWS's new Automated Reasoning checks address key challenges in automated reasoning: translating natural to structured language, defining truth, and definitive reasoning.
Using ensembles of agents to generate and refine interactions annotated with chains of thought improves performance on a battery of benchmarks by an average of 29%.
Language models inspired by specialized processing regions in the brain offer significant time and cost savings.

2024Current instruction-tuned language models are exclusively trained with textual preference data and thus are often not aligned with the unique requirements of other modalities, such as speech. To better align language models with the speech domain, we explore (i) prompting strategies grounded in radio-industry best practices and (ii) preference learning using a novel speech-based preference data of 20K samples

Findings of EMNLP 20242024Augmenting Large Language Models (LLMs) with information retrieval capabilities (i.e., Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)) has proven beneficial for knowledge-intensive tasks. However, understanding users’ contextual search intent when generating responses is an understudied topic for conversational question answering (QA). This conversational extension leads to additional concerns when compared to single-turn

RecSys 20242024Music Search encounters a significant challenge as users increasingly rely on catchy lines from lyrics to search for both new releases and other popular songs. Integrating lyrics into existing lexical search index or using lyrics vector index pose difficulties due to lyrics text length. While lexical scoring mechanisms like BM25 are inadequate and necessitates complex query planning and index schema for

Findings of EMNLP 20242024Large Language Models (LLMs) are widely used in both industry and academia for various tasks, yet evaluating the consistency of generated text responses continues to be a challenge. Traditional metrics like ROUGE and BLEU show a weak correlation with human judgment. More sophisticated metrics using Natural Language Inference (NLI) have shown improved correlations but are complex to implement, require domain-specific

CIKM 2024 Workshop on Generative AI for E-commerce2024Large language models (LLMs) offer substantial potential for automating labeling tasks, showcasing robust zero-shot performance across diverse classification tasks. The LLM-generated reasons that accompany these classifications contain signals about the quality of the classifications. Estimates of quality of these reasons can, in essence, be used to detect potentially incorrect predictions. Conventional
