The k-means clustering algorithm is an unsupervised machine learning technique that seeks to group similar data into distinct clusters, with the aim of uncovering patterns in the data that may not be apparent to the naked eye. It is possibly the most widely known algorithm for data clustering, and it…
TurboQuant has recently been launched by Google as a novel algorithmic suite and library for applying advanced quantization and compression to large language models (LLMs) and vector search engines — an indispensable element of RAG systems.
Neural contextual biasing allows speech recognition models to leverage contextually relevant information, leading to improved transcription accuracy. However, the biasing mechanism is typically based on a cross-attention module between the audio and a catalogue of biasing entries, which means computational complexity can pose severe practical limitations on the size of…
