Closing the Gap Between Text and Speech Understanding in LLMs

by AI Generated Robotic ContentFAANG February 25, 2026Comments are Disabled

Large Language Models (LLMs) can be adapted to extend their text capabilities to speech inputs. However, these speech-adapted LLMs consistently underperform their text-based counterparts—and even cascaded pipelines—on language understanding tasks. We term this shortfall the text-speech understanding gap: the performance drop observed when a speech-adapted LLM processes spoken inputs relative to when the original text-based …

Build an intelligent photo search using Amazon Rekognition, Amazon Neptune, and Amazon Bedrock

Build AI workflows on Amazon EKS with Union.ai and Flyte

by AI Generated Robotic ContentFAANG February 20, 2026Comments are Disabled

As artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) workflows grow in scale and complexity, it becomes harder for practitioners to organize and deploy their models. AI projects often struggle to move from pilot to production. AI projects often fail not because models are bad, but because infrastructure and processes are fragmented and brittle, and the original …

Using Google Cloud AI to measure the physics of U.S. freestyle snowboarding and skiing

by AI Generated Robotic ContentFAANG February 20, 2026Comments are Disabled

Nearly every snowboard trick carries a number. A 1080 means three full rotations. A 1440 means four. The convention is simple: add up every rotation around every axis and count in 180° increments. For decades it’s served as the sport’s universal shorthand for difficulty. Judges, coaches, and athletes all speak this language fluently. It’s also, …

Unifying Ranking and Generation in Query Auto-Completion via Retrieval-Augmented Generation and Multi-Objective Alignment

by AI Generated Robotic ContentFAANG February 19, 2026Comments are Disabled

Query Auto-Completion (QAC) is a critical feature of modern search systems that improves search efficiency by suggesting completions as users type. However, existing approaches face fundamental challenges: traditional retrieve-and-rank pipelines have poor long-tail coverage and require extensive feature engineering, while recent generative methods suffer from hallucination and safety risks. We present a unified framework that …
