UKG Ready, People Insights on Google Cloud

Business Problem UKG Ready primarily operates in the Small and Medium Business (SMB) space, so inherently many customers are forced to operate and make key business decisions with less Workforce Management (WFM) / Human Capital Management (HCM) data. In addition to volume, SMB lacks the variety of data needed to create a dynamic and agile organization. …

Document AI adds one-click model training with ML Workbench

Each day, countless documents are created, revised, and shared across organizations. The result is a treasure trove of information, but because the data is primarily unstructured — without rows, columns or some other predefined organizational schema — it is difficult to interpret, analyze or use for business processes. That’s why we introducedDocument AI: so users …

Non-Autoregressive Neural Machine Translation: A Call for Clarity

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?

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

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 …
