MM-Ego: Towards Building Egocentric Multimodal LLMs

Apple Machine Learning Research This research aims to comprehensively explore building a multimodal foundation model for egocentric video understanding. To achieve this goal, we work on three fronts. First, as there is a lack of QA data for egocentric video understanding, we automatically generate 7M high-quality QA samples for egocentric videos ranging from 30 seconds to one hour long in Ego4D based on human-annotated data. This is one of the largest egocentric QA datasets. Second, we contribute a challenging egocentric QA benchmark with 629 videos and 7,026 questions to evaluate the models' ability in recognizing and… Go to Source 11/04/2025 - 00:05 / SoMe: @hoffeldt.bsky.social

Controlling Language and Diffusion Models by Transporting Activations

Apple Machine Learning Research Large generative models are becoming increasingly capable and more widely deployed to power production applications, but getting these models to produce exactly what's desired can still be challenging. Fine-grained control over these models' outputs is important to meet user expectations and to mitigate potential misuses, ensuring the models' reliability and safety. To address these issues, Apple machine learning researchers have developed a new technique that is modality-agnostic and provides fine-grained control over the model's behavior with negligible computational overhead, while… Go to Source 11/04/2025 - 00:05 / SoMe: @hoffeldt.bsky.social

Do LLMs Know Internally When They Follow Instructions?

Apple Machine Learning Research Instruction-following is crucial for building AI agents with large language models (LLMs), as these models must adhere strictly to user-provided constraints and guidelines. However, LLMs often fail to follow even simple and clear instructions. To improve instruction-following behavior and prevent undesirable outputs, a deeper understanding of how LLMs’ internal states relate to these outcomes is required. In this work, we investigate whether LLMs encode information in their representations that correlates with instruction-following success—a property we term “knowing internally”.

Adaptive Batch Size for Privately Finding Second-order Stationary Points

Specifically, Ganesh et al. (2023) claimed that an αalphaα-SOSP can be found with α=O~(1n1/3+(dnϵ)3/7)alpha=tilde{O}(frac{1}{n^{1/3}}+(frac{sqrt{d}}{nepsilon})^{3/7})α=O~(n1/31​+(nϵd​​)3/7), where nnn is the dataset size, ddd is the dimension, and ϵepsilonϵ is the differential privacy parameter.

Generate user-personalized communication with Amazon Personalize and Amazon Bedrock

AWS Machine Learning Blog Today, businesses are using AI and generative models to improve productivity in their teams and provide better experiences to their customers. Personalized outbound communication can be a powerful tool to increase user engagement and conversion. For instance, as a marketing manager for a video-on-demand company, you might want to send personalized email messages tailored to each individual user—taking into account their demographic information, such as gender and age, and their viewing preferences. You want the messaging and movie recommendations to be both engaging and applicable to the customer. To achieve this, you can use Amazon Personalize to generate user-personalized recommendations and Amazon Bedrock to generate the text of the email. Amazon Personalize enables your business to improve customer engagement by creating personalized product and content recommendations in websites, applications, and targeted marketing campaigns. You can get started without any prior machine learning (ML) experience, and Amazon Personalize allows you to use APIs to build sophisticated personalization capabilities. Using this service, all your data is encrypted to be private and secure, and is only used to create recommendations for your users. Amazon Bedrock is a fully managed service that offers a choice of high-performing foundation models (FMs) from leading AI companies and Amazon through a single API, along with a broad set of capabilities to build generative AI applications with security, privacy, and responsible AI. Using Amazon Bedrock, you can experiment with and evaluate top FMs for your use case, customize the model using fine tuning, or restrict the model output using Retrieval Augmented Generaion (RAG), and build agents that execute tasks using your enterprise systems and data sources. In this post, we demonstrate how to use Amazon Personalize and Amazon Bedrock to generate personalized outreach emails for individual users using a video-on-demand use case. This concept...

Automating regulatory compliance: A multi-agent solution using Amazon Bedrock and CrewAI

AWS Machine Learning Blog Financial institutions today face an increasingly complex regulatory world that demands robust, efficient compliance mechanisms. Although organizations traditionally invest countless hours reviewing regulations such as the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) rules and the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), modern AI solutions offer a transformative approach to this challenge. By using Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases alongside CrewAI—an open source multi-agent orchestration framework, organizations can now deploy intelligent systems where multiple AI agents work together to automate and streamline specific compliance processes. This powerful combination enables financial institutions to move from manual, time-intensive compliance reviews to a streamlined, assisted compliance management approach that adapts to evolving regulatory requirements. In this post, we explore how AI agents can streamline compliance and fulfill regulatory requirements for financial institutions using Amazon Bedrock and CrewAI. We demonstrate how to build a multi-agent system that can automatically summarize new regulations, assess their impact on operations, and provide prescriptive technical guidance. You’ll learn how to use Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases and Amazon Bedrock Agents with CrewAI to create a comprehensive, automated compliance solution. This solution’s architecture can be adapted to help healthcare systems, enable manufacturers to maintain ISO safety documentation, and assist retailers in monitoring Federal Trade Commission (FTC) advertising regulations. It can also assist in other segments such as legal, finance, or human resources, offering wide-ranging potential for process automation and efficiency gains across various industries.The code used for this post is available on GitHub. Solution overview Traditional large language model (LLM) applications excel at following predefined instructions, but solving complex challenges such as compliance automation requires an autonomous network of specialized agents that mirror the structure of a comprehensive compliance department. Our system employs three key agents: Compliance analyst agent that continuously monitors and analyzes regulatory changes Compliance specialist agent that transforms requirements into...

DHS Wants Workers to Quit. The $25,000 Buyout Has Hidden Costs

Improve Your HR When it’s time to trim payroll, a $25,000 payout can feel like a generous, clean exit. That’s one of the things Kristi Noem, head of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), is offering employees in exchange for their resignations. If you’re thinking of reducing your headcount, you need to know what that $25,000 (or any dollar figure) payout really means for your employees. If you’re not transparent about the true value of that offer, you may be buying short-term silence and long-term resentment. That Big Severance Check? It’s Not So Big This type of lump sum payout may seem like a great idea for employees when you need to cut headcount, and certainly, people will jump on it. Having a large influx of cash can help people do things they’ve been putting off—like paying off credit cards or getting a new air conditioner before summer hits. But here’s what too few employers make clear: that $25,000 is before the IRS, FICA, and the state get their share. To keep reading, click here: DHS Wants Workers to Quit.

Tips for Effective Consensus Building

hr bartender Estimated reading time: 4 minutes I recently published an article on how groups make decisions. One of the ways is by building consensus. I wanted to elaborate on it today because groups can often get consensus building wrong.  Teams sometimes believe that the goal of consensus building is to get everyone to fall in love with the decision. It’s not. In fact, the goal isn’t even to get everyone to like the decision. The goal of consensus building is to get everyone to live with the decision. That’s a big difference. Let me try to share an example from one of my favorite business books, “The Abilene Paradox” by Jerry B. Harvey. Side note: I had the pleasure of hearing him tell the story firsthand at a conference many years ago. I’m not sure that I could ever tell it the way Jerry does, so I won’t even try. But do check out the synopsis on Wikipedia … it’s really good. The paradox lies in the perils of groupthink, when a team goes along with a decision even though individuals in the group don’t agree with it. An illustration of the paradox could be the office birthday celebration. It’s someone’s birthday so the tradition is to buy a cake. However, truth be told … the cake really isn’t that good. At some point, someone gets the guts to say something about it. Then the company realizes that everyone hates the cake but was going through the motions because they thought everyone else liked it. That’s the paradox. While the birthday cake example is simple, you can see how this can translate when it comes to bigger decisions. The group makes a decision. A person doesn’t like it but goes along with it anyway. It turns out to be a bad decision. And the person says, “Me? I...

TiC-LM: A Web-Scale Benchmark for Time-Continual LLM Pretraining

Apple Machine Learning Research This paper was accepted at the Scalable Continual Learning for Lifelong Foundation Models (SCLLFM) Workshop at NeurIPS 2024. Large Language Models (LLMs) trained on historical web data inevitably become outdated. We investigate evaluation strategies and update methods for LLMs as new data becomes available. We introduce a web-scale dataset for time-continual pretraining of LLMs derived from 114 dumps of Common Crawl (CC) - orders of magnitude larger than previous continual language modeling benchmarks. We also design time-stratified evaluations across both general CC data and specific domains… Go to Source 09/04/2025 - 21:05 / SoMe: @hoffeldt.bsky.social

Implement human-in-the-loop confirmation with Amazon Bedrock Agents

AWS Machine Learning Blog Agents are revolutionizing how businesses automate complex workflows and decision-making processes. Amazon Bedrock Agents helps you accelerate generative AI application development by orchestrating multi-step tasks. Agents use the reasoning capability of foundation models (FMs) to break down user-requested tasks into multiple steps. In addition, they use the developer-provided instruction to create an orchestration plan and then carry out the plan by invoking company APIs and accessing knowledge bases using Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) to provide an answer to the user’s request. Building intelligent autonomous agents that effectively handle user queries requires careful planning and robust safeguards. Although FMs continue to improve, they can still produce incorrect outputs, and because agents are complex systems, errors can occur at multiple stages. For example, an agent might select the wrong tool or use correct tools with incorrect parameters. Although Amazon Bedrock agents can self-correct through their reasoning and action (ReAct) strategy, repeated tool execution might be acceptable for non-critical tasks but risky for business-critical operations, such as database modifications. In these sensitive scenarios, human-in-the-loop (HITL) interaction is essential for successful AI agent deployments, encompassing multiple critical touchpoints between humans and automated systems. HITL can take many forms, from end-users approving actions and providing feedback, to subject matter experts reviewing responses offline and agents working alongside customer service representatives. The common thread is maintaining human oversight and using human intelligence to improve agent performance. This human involvement helps establish ground truth, validates agent responses before they go live, and enables continuous learning through feedback loops. In this post, we focus specifically on enabling end-users to approve actions and provide feedback using built-in Amazon Bedrock Agents features, specifically HITL patterns for providing safe and effective agent operations. We explore the patterns available using a Human Resources (HR) agent example that helps...

Multi-LLM routing strategies for generative AI applications on AWS

AWS Machine Learning Blog Organizations are increasingly using multiple large language models (LLMs) when building generative AI applications. Although an individual LLM can be highly capable, it might not optimally address a wide range of use cases or meet diverse performance requirements. The multi-LLM approach enables organizations to effectively choose the right model for each task, adapt to different domains, and optimize for specific cost, latency, or quality needs. This strategy results in more robust, versatile, and efficient applications that better serve diverse user needs and business objectives. Deploying a multi-LLM application comes with the challenge of routing each user prompt to an appropriate LLM for the intended task. The routing logic must accurately interpret and map the prompt into one of the pre-defined tasks, and then direct it to the assigned LLM for that task. In this post, we provide an overview of common multi-LLM applications. We then explore strategies for implementing effective multi-LLM routing in these applications, discussing the key factors that influence the selection and implementation of such strategies. Finally, we provide sample implementations that you can use as a starting point for your own multi-LLM routing deployments. Overview of common multi-LLM applications The following are some of the common scenarios where you might choose to use a multi-LLM approach in your applications: Multiple task types – Many use cases need to handle different task types within the same application. For example, a marketing content creation application might need to perform task types such as text generation, text summarization, sentiment analysis, and information extraction as part of producing high-quality, personalized content. Each distinct task type will likely require a separate LLM, which might also be fine-tuned with custom data. Multiple task complexity levels – Some applications are designed to handle a single task type, such as text...
