    Embodied instruction following is a challenging problem requiring an agent to infer a sequence of primitive actions to achieve a goal environment state from complex language and visual inputs. Action Learning From Realistic Environments and Directives (ALFRED) is a recently proposed benchmark for this problem consisting of step-by-step natural language instructions to achieve subgoals which compose to an

    Object detection models perform well at localizing and classifying objects that they are shown during training. However, due to the difficulty and cost associated with creating and annotating detection datasets, trained models detect a limited number of object types with unknown objects treated as background content. This hinders the adoption of conventional detectors in real-world applications like large-scale

    Voice Assistants such as Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant typically use a two-stage Spoken Language Understanding pipeline; first, an Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) component to process customer speech and generate text transcriptions, followed by a Natural Language Understanding (NLU) component to map transcriptions to an actionable hypothesis. An end-to-end (E2E) system that goes directly from speech

    We describe a novel approach for generating music using a self-correcting, non-chronological, autoregressive model. We represent music as a sequence of edit events, each of which denotes either the addition or removal of a note—even a note previously generated by the model. During inference, we generate one edit event at a time using direct ancestral sampling. Our method allows the model to fix previous

    There is a large amount of public open data hosted in the AWS Open Data Registry. The datasets range from genomics to climate to transportation information. They are well structured and easily accessible. However, there are few examples of how to leverage the datasets in machine learning (ML) model development in the cloud. We create this tutorial by developing Jupyter notebooks to train and test deep learning

    The conventional approach to symbolic music generation uses the Transformer, an autoregressive model that is commonly trained by minimizing the negative log-likelihood (NLL) of the observed sequence. The quality of samples from these models tends to degrade significantly for long sequences, a phenomenon attributed to exposure bias. However, we are able to detect these failures with classifiers trained to

    We propose a new framework for object detection that guides the model to explicitly reason about translation and rotation invariant object keypoints to boost model robustness. The model first predicts keypoints for each object in the image and then derives bounding-box predictions from the keypoints. While object classification and box regression are supervised, keypoints are learned through self-supervision
  • We tackle the problem of predicting the number of optimization steps that a pretrained deep network needs to converge to a given value of the loss function. To do so, we leverage the fact that the training dynamics of a deep network during fine-tuning are well approximated by those of a linearized model. This allows us to approximate the training loss and accuracy at any point during training by solving

Twitch is looking for an Applied Scientist to lead computer vision and video manipulation work within Amazon Publisher Monetization (APM). You will apply large language models (LLMs), vision-language models (VLMs), and traditional computer vision techniques to build products that directly improve how millions of Twitch creators produce content and how viewers engage with it. This is a high-visibility project backed by senior leadership, and you will have the autonomy to evaluate both first-party and third-party solutions to deliver the highest quality results quickly. If you thrive in a fast-paced, startup-like environment where your scientific decisions shape the product roadmap, we want to hear from you. Key job responsibilities Design and deploy computer vision and video manipulation models using LLMs, VLMs, and traditional techniques, taking solutions from research prototype to production. Partner with senior Product and Twitch leadership to translate customer needs into well-defined scientific problems and deliver end-to-end solutions. Evaluate and integrate generative AI capabilities across Amazon Bedrock and third-party platforms, selecting the approach that maximizes product quality. Drive the team's scientific agenda by proposing new initiatives, authoring technical documents, and contributing to external publications. Mentor fellow scientists and engineers through code reviews, design guidance, and technical assessments that raise the overall quality bar. A day in the life You will split your time roughly evenly between independent research and collaborative sessions. Mornings often start with focused solo work — benchmarking a new VLM, writing model code, or analyzing experiment results. Midday you join working sessions with Product and Twitch leadership to align on requirements or review progress. Afternoons shift between pairing with engineers on production integration and mentoring teammates on evaluation methodology. Weekly science reviews and bi-weekly roadmap syncs keep the team aligned without over-scheduling your calendar. About the team The APM science team supports all of Amazon's Publisher Monetization efforts, building the models and systems behind Twitch's creator tools and ad experiences. The team includes applied scientists, software engineers, and product managers who collaborate daily to move ideas from whiteboard to production. We operate with a startup mentality — moving fast, wearing multiple hats, and iterating closely with Twitch and Product partners. We are accelerating investment in computer vision and generative AI, and this role will be central to that expansion.

Amazon Prime Air is seeking an Applied Scientist Manager to lead the team developing our next-generation drone navigation system. You will lead a team of 8–12 Applied Scientists, Research Scientists and Software Development Engineers who invent, model, develop, test, and deploy the state estimation algorithms. Your team will own the full algorithm lifecycle: early prototypes and modeling, simulation and hardware-in-the-loop testing, then flight test and deployment across a rapidly growing delivery network. You will also manage the feedback loop that brings real-world operational data back into the team to inform next generation of algorithm improvements. Because our navigation software is safety-critical, you will work closely with the Controls, Perception, Safety, Simulation and Flight Test teams to deliver robust, fully verified algorithms. This role combines deep technical leadership with people leadership. You will hire and develop science-focused engineers, run a fast-paced agile development team and help shape the technical roadmap for autonomous navigation at Prime Air. Key job responsibilities - Lead a team of 8–12 Applied Scientists, Research Scientists and Software Development Engineers developing novel navigation and state estimation algorithms, including Kalman filtering (EKF/UKF, error-state), tightly and loosely coupled GNSS/INS integration, multi-sensor fusion and observability analysis, integrity monitoring (RAIM, fault detection and exclusion), and visual navigation (VIO/VSLAM). - Drive day-to-day execution across the full development lifecycle: prototyping, modeling, simulation testing, hardware-in-the-loop testing, flight test and deployment to the production fleet. - Lead the team in a scrum-style agile process: set sprint priorities, manage dependencies and deliver against program milestones. - Build mechanisms that capture operational learnings from our delivery network, such as flight data, anomalies and performance trends, and feed them into the requirements and design of each new generation of algorithms. - Set technical direction and raise the bar on scientific rigor. - Partner with Flight controls, Perception, Hardware, Safety, Simulation and Flight Operations teams to define interfaces, requirements and verification evidence. - Hire, mentor and develop Applied Scientists, Research Scientists and SDEs, building a diverse, high-performing team with a strong safety culture. - Communicate technical strategy, trade-offs, risks and results clearly in writing and in reviews with senior leadership.
