Force alignment using k2 for CTC models. โ SpeechBrain 0.5.0 documentation
We're excited to introduce forced alignment support in SpeechBrain, thanks to Zeyu Zhao! This new feature leverages CTC-based ASR models and the power of k2, a differentiable WFST toolkit, to perform efficient and accurate forced alignment.
Check it out: speechbrain.readthedocs.io/en/develop/t...

Iโm interested in the answer to this as a trainee!

Fascinating analysis of the implicit values present in machine learning papers, worth pondering if you're in the field -- dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1...

Do I know any AI engineers that have experience training LoRAs and might be looking for work? Preference for Europe/Africa time zones (DM me)

Screenshot of the linked Quarto website, with input checkboxes to change different conditions for a regression model that predicts economic performance based on US political party, with a reported p-value
Iโve long used FiveThirtyEightโs interactive โHack Your Way To Scientific Gloryโ to illustrate the idea of p-hacking when I teach statistics. But ABC/Disney killed the site earlier this month :(
So I made my own with #rstats and Observable and #QuartoPub ! stats.andrewheiss.com/hack-your-way/

Wicked is Bodyqueer at Heart
I saw the new (2024) Wicked film adaptation and, wow what a film.
I have a new substack up about the awesomeness that is #Wicked and its connection to #disability themes and #bodyqueer themes open.substack.com/pub/peterpla...

My favorite class in undergrad (as a Comp Sci major) was Postcolonial Literature! Really got me thinking about a lot that I still think about to this day.

Interesting thoughts, I wonder though if the premise that more bits is necessarily better might be amiss though, like if I have to choose between running left or running right to avoid a predator, thats a one bit decision and having too many bits available may hinder the decision

For six months we watched the pigeons building their civilization on top of the skyscrapers. First came the architecture: nests made not just of twigs and paper, but of lost earbuds, expired credit cards, and the tiny silver bells from cat collars. Then came their laws.
"They have a supreme court," said Dr. Fernandez, who'd been studying them since the beginning. "Nine pigeons who sit on the ledge of the Chrysler Building and coo about justice." We didn't believe her at first, but then we didn't believe a lot of things that turned out to be true.
The pigeons developed a currency based on blue bottle caps. They established schools where young pigeons learned to dodge taxi cabs and identify the most generous hot dog vendors. Some of us tried to join their society, climbing to rooftops with offerings of breadcrumbs and philosophy textbooks, but the pigeons regarded us with the kind of pity usually reserved for very small children or very old cats.
"They're planning something," the conspiracy theorists said, but they always say that. Still, we noticed the pigeons holding what looked like town halls, thousands of them gathered on the roof of the public library, bobbing their heads in what might have been voting or might have been prayer.
Our own civilization continued below theirs. We went to work, fell in love, lost keys, found keys, forgot anniversaries, remembered too late, all while the pigeons above us built something that looked suspiciously like a scaled-down replica of the United Nations building out of discarded takeout containers and stolen Christmas lights.
Sometimes they dropped things on us: rejection letters for poetry we'd never submitted, tax returns from years that hadn't happened yet, photographs of ourselves sleeping that we couldn't explain. Dr. Fernandez said this was their way of communicating. We said Dr. Fernandez had been spending too much time on rooftops.
The pigeons started their own newspapers, printed on leaves that fell upward insteadโฆ

i asked Claude to write a Barthelme-esque short story with the aesthetic sensibilities of "The School", and it gave me this. i mean. i mean.

Text Shot: MIT researchers developed a new technique that identifies and removes specific points in a training dataset that contribute most to a modelโs failures on minority subgroups. By removing far fewer datapoints than other approaches, this technique maintains the overall accuracy of the model while improving its performance regarding underrepresented groups.
In addition, the technique can identify hidden sources of bias in a training dataset that lacks labels.

Proud of this work published a few days ago at SLT 2024 on continual learning for end to end ASR. Turns out changing the CL paradigm to parallel training on different tasks and merging these experts can reduce the forgetting rate to as low as 0.4%! poonehmousavi.github.io/assets/publi...
