Non-Autoregressive Neural Machine Translation: A Call for Clarity

by AI Generated Robotic ContentFAANG October 28, 2022Comments are Disabled

Non-autoregressive approaches aim to improve the inference speed of translation models by only requiring a single forward pass to generate the output sequence instead of iteratively producing each predicted token. Consequently, their translation quality still tends to be inferior to their autoregressive counterparts due to several issues involving output token interdependence. In this work, we …

Prompting for a Conversation: How to Control a Dialog Model?

by AI Generated Robotic ContentFAANG October 28, 2022Comments are Disabled

Dialog modelling faces a difficult trade-off. Models are trained on a large amount of text, yet their responses need to be limited to a desired scope and style of a dialog agent. Because the datasets used to achieve the former contain language that is not compatible with the latter, pre-trained dialog models are fine-tuned on …

A Treatise On FST Lattice Based MMI Training

by AI Generated Robotic ContentFAANG October 28, 2022Comments are Disabled

Maximum mutual information (MMI) has become one of the two de facto methods for sequence-level training of speech recognition acoustic models. This paper aims to isolate, identify and bring forward the implicit modelling decisions induced by the design implementation of standard finite state transducer (FST) lattice based MMI training framework. The paper particularly investigates the …

When Newcomp Analytics started working with chocolatier Lindt Canada more than 15 years ago to support their supply chain, Lindt had no full-time IT personnel for analytics. Lindt now has a team of 10, including a business intelligence (BI) manager and BI developer analysts. Yet Newcomp continues to be an essential and trusted partner, helping …

Improve price performance of your model training using Amazon SageMaker heterogeneous clusters

by AI Generated Robotic ContentFAANG October 28, 2022Comments are Disabled

This post is co-written with Chaim Rand from Mobileye. Certain machine learning (ML) workloads, such as training computer vision models or reinforcement learning, often involve combining the GPU- or accelerator-intensive task of neural network model training with the CPU-intensive task of data preprocessing, like image augmentation. When both types of tasks run on the same …
