    Embedding-based Zero-shot Retrieval through Query Generation leverages query synthesis over large corpuses of unlabeled text (such as Wikipedia) to pre-train siamese neural retrieval models. The resulting models significantly improve over previous BM25 baselines as well as state-of-the-art neural methods. This package provides support for leveraging BART-large for query synthesis as well as code for training
  • Although machine learning (ML) is widely used for predictive tasks, there are important scenarios in which ML cannot be used or at least cannot achieve its full potential. A major barrier to adoption is the sensitive nature of predictive queries. Individual users may lack sufficiently rich datasets to train accurate models locally but also be unwilling to send sensitive queries to commercial services that

    Multi-domain dialogue state tracking (DST) is a critical component for conversational AI systems. The domain ontology (i.e., specification of domains, slots, and values) of a conversational AI system is generally incomplete, making the capability for DST models to generalize to new slots, values, and domains during inference imperative. In this paper, we propose to model multi-domain DST as a question answering

    Natural language understanding (NLU) in the context of goal-oriented dialog systems typically includes intent classification and slot labeling tasks. Existing methods to expand an NLU system to new languages use machine translation with slot label projection from source to the translated utterances, and thus are sensitive to projection errors. In this work, we propose a novel end-to-end model that learns

    Question Answering (QA) is in increasing demand as the amount of information available online and the desire for quick access to this content grows. A common approach to QA has been to fine-tune a pretrained language model on a task-specific labeled dataset. This paradigm, however, relies on scarce, and costly to obtain, large-scale human-labeled data. We propose an unsupervised approach to training QA

    Meaning representation is an important component of semantic parsing. Although researchers have designed a lot of meaning representations, recent work focuses on only a few of them. Thus, the impact of meaning representation on semantic parsing is less understood. Furthermore, existing work’s performance is often not comprehensively evaluated due to the lack of readily-available execution engines. Upon

Key job responsibilities * Design, develop, and evaluate tailored ML/AI, models for solving complex business problems. * Research and apply the latest ML / AI techniques and best practices from both academia and industry. * Identify and implement novel Generative AI use cases to deliver value. * Design and implement Generative AI and LLM solutions to accelerate development and provide intuitive explainability of complex science models. * Develop and implement frameworks for evaluation, validation, and benchmarking AI agents and LLM frameworks. * Think about customers and how to improve the customer delivery experience. * Use analytical techniques to create scalable solutions for business problems. * Work closely with software engineering teams to build model implementations and integrate successful models and algorithms in production systems at large scale. * Establish scalable, efficient, automated processes for large scale data analyses, model development, model validation and model implementation. A day in the life You will have the opportunity to learn how Amazon plans for and executes within its logistics network including Fulfillment Centers, Sort Centers, and Delivery Stations. In this role, you will design and develop Machine Learning / AI models with significant scope, impact, and high visibility. You will focus on designing, developing, and deploying Generative AI solutions at scale that will improve efficiency, increase productivity, accelerate development, automate manual tasks, and deliver value to our internal customers. Your solutions will impact business segments worth many-billions-of-dollars and geographies spanning multiple countries and markets. From day one, you will be working with bar raising scientists, engineers, and designers. You will also collaborate with the broader science community in Amazon to broaden the horizon of your work. Successful candidates must thrive in fast-paced environments, which encourage collaborative and creative problem solving, be able to measure and estimate risks, constructively critique peer research, and align research focuses with the Amazon's strategic needs. We look for individuals who know how to deliver results and show a desire to develop themselves, their colleagues, and their career. About the team FPX Science tackles some of the most mathematically complex challenges in transportation planning and execution space to improve Amazon's operational efficiency worldwide at a scale that is unique to Amazon. We own the long-term and intermediate-term planning of Amazon’s global fulfillment centers and transportation network as well as the short-term network planning and execution that determines the optimal flow of customer orders through Amazon fulfillment network. FPX science team is a group of scientists with different technical backgrounds including Machine Learning and Operations Research, who will collaborate closely with you on your projects. Our team directly supports multiple functional areas across SCOT - Fulfillment Optimization and the research needs of the corresponding product and engineering teams. We disambiguate complex supply chain problems and create innovative data-driven solutions to solve those problems at scale with a mix of science-based techniques including Operations Research, Simulation, Machine Learning, and AI to tackle some of our biggest technical challenges. In addition, we are incorporating the latest advances in Generative AI and LLM techniques in how we design, develop, enhance, and interpret the results of these science models.
