How to Calculate Precision, Recall, F1, and More for Deep Learning Models
Tweet Tweet Share Share Last Updated on August 23, 2022 Once you fit a deep learning neural network model, you must evaluate its performance on a test dataset. This is critical, as the reported performance allows you to both choose between candidate models and to communicate to stakeholders about how good the model is at …

Improving Voice Trigger Detection with Metric Learning
Voice trigger detection is an important task, which enables activating a voice assistant when a target user speaks a keyword phrase. A detector is typically trained on speech data independent of speaker information and used for the voice trigger detection task. However, such a speaker independent voice trigger detector typically suffers from performance degradation on …

NeILF: Neural Incident Light Field for Material and Lighting Estimation
We present a differentiable rendering framework for material and lighting estimation from multi-view images and a reconstructed geometry. In the framework, we represent scene lightings as the Neural Incident Light Field (NeILF) and material properties as the surface BRDF modelled by multi-layer perceptrons. Compared with recent approaches that approximate scene lightings as the 2D environment …

Integrating Categorical Features in End-To-End ASR
All-neural, end-to-end ASR systems gained rapid interest from the speech recognition community. Such systems convert speech input to text units using a single trainable neural network model. E2E models require large amounts of paired speech text data that is expensive to obtain. The amount of data available varies across different languages and dialects. It is …

Combining Compressions for Multiplicative Size Scaling on Natural Language Tasks
Quantization, knowledge distillation, and magnitude pruning are among the most popular methods for neural network compression in NLP. Independently, these methods reduce model size and can accelerate inference, but their relative benefit and combinatorial inter- actions have not been rigorously studied. For each of the eight possible subsets of these techniques, we compare accuracy vs. …

CVNets: High Performance Library for Computer Vision
We introduce CVNets, a high-performance open-source library for training deep neural networks for visual recognition tasks, including classification, detection, and segmentation. CVNets supports image and video understanding tools, including data loading, data transformations, novel data sampling methods, and implementations of several standard networks with similar or better performance than previous studies.
Space-Efficient Representation of Entity-centric Query Language Models
Virtual assistants make use of automatic speech recognition (ASR) to help users answer entity-centric queries. However, spoken entity recognition is a difficult problem, due to the large number of frequently-changing named entities. In addition, resources available for recognition are constrained when ASR is performed on-device. In this work, we investigate the use of probabilistic grammars …

FORML: Learning to Reweight Data for Fairness
Machine learning models are trained to minimize the mean loss for a single metric, and thus typically do not consider fairness and robustness. Neglecting such metrics in training can make these models prone to fairness violations when training data are imbalanced or test distributions differ. This work introduces Fairness Optimized Reweighting via Meta-Learning (FORML), a …
A Dense Material Segmentation Dataset for Indoor and Outdoor Scene Parsing
A key algorithm for understanding the world is material segmentation, which assigns a label (metal, glass, etc.) to each pixel. We find that a model trained on existing data underperforms in some settings and propose to address this with a large-scale dataset of 3.2 million dense segments on 44,560 indoor and outdoor images, which is …
