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.

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.

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.

Sr. Research Scientist, Pricing Science
US, WA, Seattle
Amazon's Worldwide Pricing & Promotions organization is seeking a talented, hands-on Research Scientist to join the Pricing and Promotion Optimization Science (P2OS) team — the optimization "application layer" within Amazon's Pricing Sciences organization. Amazon adjusts prices on hundreds of millions of products daily across a global marketplace; P2OS is the team that makes those prices optimal. P2OS is a small, specialized unit with an outsized charter: develop and maintain the models that determine optimal prices and promotions across Amazon's catalog and merchant programs. We own the full optimization stack — from price prediction to promotion targeting to competitiveness guardrails — and we measure success in terms of accretive Gross Contribution and Customer Pricing Perception (GCCP). Our work spans Retail Core, Amazon Business, Fresh, Grocery, and international marketplaces, and we are continually investing in more extensible, generalizable science foundations to keep pace with a growing and evolving business. We are looking for an innovative, organized, and customer-focused scientist with exceptional machine learning and predictive modeling skills, causal and experimental evaluation experience, and the entrepreneurial spirit to apply state-of-the-art methods to some of the most impactful pricing problems in e-commerce. You should be comfortable with ambiguity, motivated by measurable business impact, and excited by the opportunity to work at Amazon-scale. Key job responsibilities * Innovate and build. Design, develop, and deploy machine learning models that set optimal prices and promotions across Amazon's global catalog. Own models end-to-end — from problem formulation and data analysis through offline evaluation, A/B testing, and production launch. * Build a generalizable science foundation. Develop models and evaluation frameworks designed to scale across merchant programs, product categories, and marketplaces — enabling cross-learning and reducing the time and cost of applying science to new business contexts. * Build and evolve optimization systems. Design and improve optimization systems — including reinforcement learning and multi-objective optimization approaches — that automate price and promotion decisions at scale across millions of products. * Apply generative AI and foundation models. Identify and pursue opportunities to leverage large language models, embeddings, and generative AI techniques in pricing science — from enriching product representations and extracting competitive signals from unstructured data, to building more capable and explainable pricing systems. * Experiment rigorously. Design and execute A/B tests and causal inference studies to measure the business and customer impact of pricing model changes. Translate findings into production-ready science improvements. * Stay at the frontier. Establish mechanisms to track the latest advances in reinforcement learning, causal ML, multi-objective optimization, generative AI, and demand modeling — and identify opportunities to apply them to Pricing & Promotions business problems. * See the big picture. Contribute to the long-term scientific vision for how Amazon sets competitive, perception-preserving prices — balancing profitability, customer trust, and marketplace health.
