  • Developing new inference and training techniques to improve the performance of Large Language Models for Smart Home control and Automation
  • Developing robust techniques for synthetic data generation for training large models and maintaining model generalization

About the team
We are a team of Scientists, Machine Learning Engineers, and Software Developers that work together to make Alexa more insightful and proactive through ambient intelligence - with features like Alexa Hunches that automatically control Smart Home devices.

We are interdisciplinary and we act like it - we ask each other questions and value our different perspectives.
