Amazon vice president and distinguished engineer Marc Brooker explains how agentic systems work under the hood — and how AWS’s new AgentCore framework implements their essential components.
Initiative will fund over 100 doctoral students researching machine learning, computer vision, and natural-language processing at nine universities.
In-context learning enables a model that can solve forecasting tasks with an arbitrary number of dimensions in a zero-shot manner.
New technologies are helping vulnerable communities produce maps that integrate topographical, infrastructural, seasonal, and real-time data — an essential tool for many humanitarian endeavors.
A new dataset with over 238,000 images challenges and advances the state of the art in visual defect detection for complex retail applications.

Amazon Technical Reports2025We present Amazon Nova Multimodal Embeddings (MME), a state-of-the-art multimodal embedding model for agentic RAG and semantic search applications. Nova MME is the first embeddings model that supports five modalities as input: text, documents, images, video and audio, and transforms them into a single, unified embedding space. This powerful capability enables cross-modal retrieval —allowing users to search

2025High-quality content is critical for driving customer satisfaction and conversions across digital platforms and e-commerce. Ensuring that essential information is complete, accurate, and aligned with customer expectations presents a significant challenge at scale. Existing approaches to content evaluation often treat all information uniformly, without prioritizing based on customer relevance, and rely heavily

2025We present MASSIVE-Agents, a new benchmark for assessing multilingual function calling across 52 languages. We created MASSIVE-Agents by cleaning the original MASSIVE dataset and then reformatting it for evaluation within the Berkeley Function-Calling Leaderboard (BFCL) framework. The full benchmark comprises 47,020 samples with an average of 904 samples per language, covering 55 different functions and

2025Structured information extraction from unstructured text is critical for emerging Software 3.0 systems where LLM agents autonomously interact with APIs and tools. Recent approaches apply large language models directly to extraction tasks using existing JSON schemas, often with constraint decoding or reinforcement learning approaches to ensure syntactic validity, but treat JSON schemas as static contracts

2025For an e-commerce domain, the address is the single most important piece of data for ensuring accurate and reliable deliveries. In this two-part study, we first outline the construction of a language model to assist customers with address standardization and in the latter part, we detail a novel Pareto-ensemble multi-task prediction algorithm that derives critical insights from addresses to minimize operational
