    Current LLM summarization systems Produce broad overviews which are disconnected from people specific interests and expectations. Basically, people preferences (topics) can be expressed by a collection of semantic keywords. Previous work exploit these keywords as extra input to generate summary.

    Deep neural networks (DNNs) have improved NLP tasks significantly, but training and maintaining such networks could be costly. Model compression techniques, such as, knowledge distillation (KD), have been proposed to address the issue; however, the compression process could be lossy. Motivated by this, our work investigates how a distilled student model differs from its teacher, if the distillation process

    In recent years, multi-objective optimization (MOO) emerges as a foundational problem underpinning many multi-agent multi-task learning applications. However, existing algorithms in MOO literature remain limited to centralized learning settings, which do not satisfy the distributed nature and data privacy needs of such multi-agent multi-task learning applications. This motivates us to propose a new federated

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 relevant information at unprecedented scale with Frontier Models and Agents. The scale is staggering: billions of products, petabytes of multimodal data, millions of sellers, dozens of languages, and infinite product diversity ranging 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. Enriching product information requires sophisticated models that reason across text, images, and structured data, all while maintaining accuracy and trust for high-stakes business decisions affecting millions of customers daily. Amazon's Catalog System Services Science team 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. 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 * Formulate novel research problems at the intersection of GenAI, multimodal learning, and large-scale information retrieval. In essence, translating ambiguous business challenges into tractable scientific frameworks * Design and implement leading models leveraging frontier models, and agentic architectures to enrich catalog information at billion-product scale * Pioneer explainable AI methodologies that balance model performance with scalability requirements for production systems impacting millions of daily customer decisions * Own end-to-end ML pipelines from research ideation to production deployment, processing petabytes of multimodal data with rigorous evaluation frameworks * Define research roadmaps aligned with business priorities, balancing foundational research with incremental product improvements * Mentor peer scientists and engineers on advanced ML techniques, experimental design, and scientific rigor, building 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

Are you interested in changing how Amazon does marketing — moving beyond platform-optimized broad reach to campaigns that find the right customer, at the right moment, using Amazon's unmatched 1P data? We are seeking an Applied Scientist to join PRIMAS (Prime & Marketing Analytics and Science). In this role, you will design and run the experiments that answer the foundational question for EU marketing: does adding 1P audience signal on top of Value-Based Optimization (VBO) improve marketing efficiency — and if so, for which customer cohorts, on which surfaces, and at what scale? Amazon's current marketing model is largely platform-led: we set objectives and let platforms optimize toward conversion. This approach works well for broad acquisition but systematically underserves lifecycle goals — it cannot distinguish between a Bargain Hunter who will never pay full price and a high-potential customer one nudge away from becoming a Prime member. This role sits at the center of changing that. You will build the 1P audiences, design the experiments that test them, and generate the evidence that guides how Amazon allocates hundreds of millions in marketing spend. Year 1 is an experimentation year. You will deploy 1P audiences across multiple surfaces and channels — Meta, Google, Amazon Display Ads — and measure incrementally against VBO baselines. The goal is not to replace platform optimization but to understand when and where the combination of 1P signal + VBO outperforms VBO alone, and to build the experimental infrastructure that makes this learning scalable. Key job responsibilities 1P Audience Development & Experimentation: - Build and validate 1P audience segments from Amazon behavioral, transactional, and lifecycle data - Design experiments that isolate the incremental effect of 1P audience signal over platform VBO baselines - Deploy audiences across activation surfaces and establish measurement standards that make cross-surface comparison valid Causal Measurement & Incrementality: - Apply causal inference methods to measure the true incremental lift of audience-based targeting vs. VBO - Develop power analysis frameworks and guardrails that enable rapid experimentation without underpowered or conflated tests - Deliver optimization recommendations grounded in experimental evidence: which cohorts respond, which surfaces deliver, which creative strategies drive behavior change Scaling the Learning: - Build reusable audience and measurement frameworks that can be deployed across campaigns and channels — year 1 experiments should produce infrastructure, not one-off analyses - Document experimental learnings in a way that informs both the 2026 roadmap and the business case for investing further in 1P audience capabilities in 2027+ - Partner with engineering and PMT to translate validated audience prototypes into production-ready solutions that scale beyond the experimentation phase About the team The PRIMAS team, is part of a larger tech tech team of 100+ people called WIMSI (WW Integrated Marketing Systems and Intelligence). WIMSI core mission is to accelerate marketing technology capabilities that enable de-averaged customer experiences across the marketing funnel: awareness, consideration, and conversion.
