  • Model compression applied to small-footprint keyword spotting
    George Tucker, Minhua Wu, Ming Sun, Sankaran Panchapagesan, Gengshen Fu, Shiv Vitaladevuni
    Interspeech 2016
    2016
    Several consumer speech devices feature voice interfaces that perform on-device keyword spotting to initiate user interactions. Accurate on-device keyword spotting within a tight CPU budget is crucial for such devices. Motivated by this, we investigated two ways to improve deep neural network (DNN) acoustic models for keyword spotting without increasing CPU usage. First, we used low-rank weight matrices

  • Max-Pooling Loss Trained Long Short Term Memory Network For Small-Footprint Keyword Spotting
    Ming Sun, Anirudh Raju, George Tucker, Sankaran Panchapagesan, Gengshen Fu, Arindam Mandal, Spyros Matsoukas, Nikko Ström, Shiv Vitaladevuni
    SLT 2016
    2016
    We propose a max-pooling based loss function for training Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks for small-footprint keyword spotting (KWS), with low CPU, memory, and latency requirements. The max-pooling loss training can be further guided by initializing with a cross-entropy loss trained network. A posterior smoothing based evaluation approach is employed to measure keyword spotting performance. Our experimental

  • Optimizing Speech Recognition Evaluation Using Stratified Sampling
    Janne Pylkkonen, Thomas Drugman, Max Bisani
    Interspeech 2016
    2016
    Producing large enough quantities of high-quality transcriptions for accurate and reliable evaluation of an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system can be costly. It is therefore desirable to minimize the manual transcription work for producing metrics with an agreed precision. In this paper we demonstrate how to improve ASR evaluation precision using stratified sampling. We show that by altering the

  • Search-based Evaluation from Truth Transcripts for Voice Search Applications
    Francois Mairesse, Paul Raccuglia, Shiv Vitaladevuni
    SIGIR 2016
    2016
    Voice search applications are typically evaluated by comparing the predicted query to a reference human transcript, regardless of the search results returned by the query. While we find that an exact transcript match is highly indicative of user satisfaction, a transcript which does not match the reference still produces satisfactory search results a significant fraction of the time. This paper therefore

  • Kalman Folding 5: Non-linear models and the EKF
    Brian Beckman
    ACM 2016
    2016
    We exhibit a foldable Extended Kalman Filter that internally integrates non-linear equations of motion with a nested fold of generic integrators over lazy streams in constant memory. Functional form allows us to switch integrators easily and to diagnose filter divergence accurately, achieving orders of magnitude better speed than the source example from the literature. As with all Kalman folds, we can move

  • Active and Semi-Supervised Learning in ASR: Benefits on the Acoustic and Language Models
    Thomas Drugman, Janne Pylkkonen, Reinhard Kneser
    Interspeech 2016
    2016
    The goal of this paper is to simulate the benefits of jointly applying active learning (AL) and semi-supervised training (SST) in a new speech recognition application. Our data selection approach relies on confidence filtering, and its impact on both the acoustic and language models (AM and LM) is studied. While AL is known to be beneficial to AM training, we show that it also carries out substantial improvements

    Roland Maas, Sree Hari Krishnan Parthasarathi, Brian King, Ruitong Huang, Björn Hoffmeister
    Interspeech 2016
    2016
    We propose two new methods of speech detection in the context of voice-controlled far-field appliances. While conventional detection methods are designed to differentiate between speech and nonspeech, we aim at distinguishing desired speech, which we define as speech originating from the person interacting with the device, from background noise and interfering talkers. Our two proposed methods use the first

At Amazon Selection and Catalog Systems (ASCS), our mission is to power the online buying experience for customers worldwide so they can find, discover, and buy any product they want. We innovate on behalf of our customers to ensure uniqueness and consistency of product identity and to infer relationships between products in Amazon Catalog to drive the selection gateway for the search and browse experiences on the website. We're solving a fundamental AI challenge: establishing product identity and relationships at unprecedented scale. Using Generative AI, Visual Language Models (VLMs), and multimodal reasoning, we determine what makes each product unique and how products relate to one another across Amazon's catalog. The scale is staggering: billions of products, petabytes of multimodal data, millions of sellers, dozens of languages, and infinite product diversity—from electronics to groceries to digital content. The research challenges are immense. GenAI and VLMs hold transformative promise for catalog understanding, but we operate where traditional methods fail: ambiguous problem spaces, incomplete and noisy data, inherent uncertainty, reasoning across both images and textual data, and explaining decisions at scale. Establishing product identities and groupings requires sophisticated models that reason across text, images, and structured data—while maintaining accuracy and trust for high-stakes business decisions affecting millions of customers daily. Amazon's Item and Relationship Platform group is looking for an innovative and customer-focused applied scientist to help us make the world's best product catalog even better. In this role, you will partner with technology and business leaders to build new state-of-the-art algorithms, models, and services to infer product-to-product relationships that matter to our customers. You will pioneer advanced GenAI solutions that power next-generation agentic shopping experiences, working in a collaborative environment where you can experiment with massive data from the world's largest product catalog, tackle problems at the frontier of AI research, rapidly implement and deploy your algorithmic ideas at scale, across millions of customers. Key job responsibilities Key job responsibilities include: * Formulate open research problems at the intersection of GenAI, multimodal reasoning, and large-scale information retrieval—defining the scientific questions that transform ambiguous, real-world catalog challenges into publishable, high-impact research * Push the boundaries of VLMs, foundation models, and agentic architectures by designing novel approaches to product identity, relationship inference, and catalog understanding—where the problem complexity (billions of products, multimodal signals, inherent ambiguity) demands methods that don't yet exist * Advance the science of efficient model deployment—developing distillation, compression, and LLM/VLM serving optimization strategies that preserve frontier-level multimodal reasoning in compact, production-grade architectures while dramatically reducing latency, cost, and infrastructure footprint at billion-product scale * Make frontier models reliable—advancing uncertainty calibration, confidence estimation, and interpretability methods so that frontier-scale GenAI systems can be trusted for autonomous catalog decisions impacting millions of customers daily * Own the full research lifecycle from problem formulation through production deployment—designing rigorous experiments over petabytes of multimodal data, iterating on ideas rapidly, and seeing your research directly improve the shopping experience for hundreds of millions of customers * Shape the team's research vision by defining technical roadmaps that balance foundational scientific inquiry with measurable product impact * Mentor scientists and engineers on advanced ML techniques, experimental design, and scientific rigor—building deep organizational capability in GenAI and multimodal AI * Represent the team in the broader science community—publishing findings, delivering tech talks, and staying at the forefront of GenAI, VLM, and agentic system research
