Hi All, My friend will be interviewing with Amazon, Seattle for the position of Applied Scientist. She is about to finish her phd and is very much interested to pursue her career doing research in the field of ML/AI. She was wondering if there are any teams doing fundamental research in ML/AI at Amazon or if all the work done is revolving their products? Also, do they publish any of their research? I mean, are they even allowed to publish? Thank you all in advance!
Okay, please don’t mind me asking this, but what is a COE?

Yes you can . I’ve been publishing and our org is encouraged to publish. Just make sure the work is good . Most as and ml work in amazon is taking what google built and using our data on it .
Depends on the team. Decent number of internal publications and a small number reach external journals/conferences. I'd bias to say that for most teams it's not the highest priority.
Yes she can
Yes you can publish. We have a very streamlined process. My team has been regularly publishing in ACL, EMNLP and NAACL
Seems like you work in an NLP team. How is the onsite process? What should candidate expect? I have an upcoming interview :)
That sounds great.. which team do you work for?
Thanks guys for your input :)
