A quick guide to Amazon’s 50-plus papers at EMNLP 2024

Large language models predominate, both as a research subject themselves and as tools for researching topics of particular interest to Amazon, such as speech, recommendations, and information retrieval.

Large language models (LLMs) have come to dominate the field of natural-language processing, so it’s no surprise that they also dominate the research that Amazon scientists are presenting at this year’s Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural-Language Processing (EMNLP). LLM training is the topic with the greatest number of Amazon papers, followed closely by strategies for mitigating misinformation in LLMs’ outputs — including but not limited to hallucinations. At the same time, a number of papers apply LLMs to topics of traditional interest at Amazon, such as speech, recommender systems, and information retrieval. (Papers marked with asterisks were accepted to Findings of EMNLP.)

Explaining and improving contrastive decoding by extrapolating the probabilities of a huge and hypothetical LM.png
Given a simple question with clues, contrastive decoding could have an “obvious blindness” (e.g., assigning higher probability to an uncommon answer, such as "invertebrate", than to the most obvious answer, "bees"). In contrast, the asymptotic probability decoding proposed in "Explaining and improving contrastive decoding by extrapolating the probabilities of a huge and hypothetical LM" correctly assigns the highest probability to "bees" by leveraging the probabilities from multiple LMs of different sizes.

The DaLLME framework proposed in "Textual dataset distillation via language model embedding" begins by using a language model to transform raw textual data into embedding vectors. A set of distilled vectors is then derived in the embedding space, through a process designed to encapsulate maximum informational content. Finally, the vec2text model translates these distilled vectors back into textual form.

DeCRIM.png
In the DeCRIM pipeline proposed in "LLM self-correction with DeCRIM: Decompose, critique, and refine for enhanced following of instructions with multiple constraints", an LLM first generates a response to a user request. The Decomposer then breaks down the request into granular constraints, and the Critic model gives feedback on whether the response meets those constraints. If it does, the response is output; if not, the LLM uses the feedback to refine the response.

Efficient pointwise-pairwise learning-to-rank for news recommendation.png
An illustration of the GLIMPSE framework proposed in "Efficient pointwise-pairwise learning-to-rank for news recommendation". GLIMPSE adopts a multitask approach in which a pretrained language model is fine-tuned on both the relevance prediction task and the pairwise-preference task. During inference, the relevance predictions are used to produce an initial pointwise ranking, which is subsequently improved by one or more right-to-left (RTL) passes using pairwise comparisons.

Abhishek Divekar, Greg Durrett

Abstract depiction of the SYNTHESIZRR procedure
Abstract depiction of the procedure proposed in "SYNTHESIZRR: Generating diverse datasets with retrieval augmentation". The content sourcing stage retrieves K unique documents {r1,...,rK} from a large corpus for each in-context covariate xICL. The task-inversion stage uses a parameterized context refinement prompt, Pτ, which takes parameters Rinv (inversion instruction), rk (a retrieved document), and V(yICL) (the verbalized target label). A generalist teacher LLM autoregressively generates a synthetic covariate. Each in-context example thus produces K unique synthetic examples {x̃1,..., x̃K}, which we include in the dataset with target yICL.

Principal Applied Scientist, Real-Time Conversational AI , AGI
US, WA, Seattle
We are looking for a Principal Applied Scientist to drive the research and development of real-time multimodal conversational AI. You will operate across two focus areas: advancing foundation models for speech and audio, and building the post-training systems (reward modeling, reinforcement learning) that shape natural, human-like conversational behavior. You will be the expert in your area while contributing across the full model lifecycle — from pre-training and architecture design through post-training alignment and real-time deployment. You will work at the frontier of what's possible in conversational AI, with the compute, data, and runway to pursue problems that few teams in the world have the resources to tackle. As a Principal Scientist, you will set the technical direction for your research area, influence the broader roadmap, and work closely with inference engineers to ensure your models are designed for real-time production deployment from inception. Key job responsibilities Foundation Model Scaling - Build and train large-scale multimodal foundation models for real-time speech and audio generation, from architecture design through production-scale training - Advance the scaling and efficiency of conversational modes, including the relationship between data, model size, and real time performance. - Design model architectures informed by hardware constraints and inference requirements, working with inference engineers to ensure models are servable from inception - Develop training methodologies for multimodal models that jointly process and generate speech, language, and audio in real-time streaming contexts Post-Training & Reinforcement Learning - Design and build reward models and reward functions for speech systems — capturing naturalness, fluency, conversational quality, and real-time responsiveness - Develop and apply reinforcement learning methods to shape conversational behavior — teaching models natural timing, responsiveness, and fluid interaction - Build the post-training pipeline from SFT through RL alignment, optimized for real-time multimodal outputs rather than text-only generation - Design evaluation frameworks that capture the quality dimensions unique to real-time conversation Real-Time Perception & Generation - Advance the team's capabilities in real-time perception - Work at the intersection of model architecture and production constraints to ensure multimodal capabilities function within hard real-time latency budgets
