AI assistant monitors teamwork to promote effective collaboration

On a research cruise around Hawaii in 2018, Yuening Zhang SM ’19, Ph.D. ’24 saw how difficult it was to keep a tight ship. The careful coordination required to map underwater terrain could sometimes lead to a stressful environment for team members, who might have different understandings of which tasks must be completed in spontaneously …

7 Machine Learning Projects That Can Add Value to Any Resume

Learning by doing is the best way to master essential skills for becoming a machine learning engineer. Instead of just focusing on simple classification and regression models. In this blog, we will focus on advanced machine learning projects that will impact your resume and attract recruiters and hiring managers. We will learn about computer vision …

Can You Remove the Downstream Model for Speaker Recognition with Self-Supervised Speech Features?

Self-supervised features are typically used in place of filter-bank features in speaker verification models. However, these models were originally designed to ingest filter-banks as inputs, and thus, training them on self-supervised features assumes that both feature types require the same amount of learning for the task. In this work, we observe that pre-trained self-supervised speech …

The Cohere Rerank 3 Nimble foundation model (FM) is now generally available in Amazon SageMaker JumpStart. This model is the newest FM in Cohere’s Rerank model series, built to enhance enterprise search and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) systems. In this post, we discuss the benefits and capabilities of this new model with some examples. Overview …

One Hot Encoding: Understanding the “Hot” in Data

Preparing categorical data correctly is a fundamental step in machine learning, particularly when using linear models. One Hot Encoding stands out as a key technique, enabling the transformation of categorical variables into a machine-understandable format. This post tells you why you cannot use a categorical variable directly and demonstrates the use One Hot Encoding in …
