Joint Speech Transcription and Translation: Pseudo-Labeling with Out-of-Distribution Data

Self-training has been shown to be helpful in addressing data scarcity for many domains, including vision, speech, and language. Specifically, self-training, or pseudo-labeling, labels unsupervised data and adds that to the training pool. In this work, we investigate and use pseudo-labeling for a recently proposed novel setup: joint transcription and translation of speech, which suffers …

MTTR vs. MTBF: What’s the difference?

Businesses rely every day on various systems and pieces of equipment to keep their operations running smoothly. But all systems inevitably require upkeep. It could be intangible software, like an IT service network that has accumulated enough bugs to break an important feature, sending developers scrambling for a fix. Or it could be a piece …

F-VLM: Open-vocabulary object detection upon frozen vision and language models

Posted by Weicheng Kuo and Anelia Angelova, Research Scientists, Google Research Detection is a fundamental vision task that aims to localize and recognize objects in an image. However, the data collection process of manually annotating bounding boxes or instance masks is tedious and costly, which limits the modern detection vocabulary size to roughly 1,000 object …

Startup’s AI Slashes Paperwork for Doctors Across Africa

As a medical doctor in Nigeria, Tobi Olatunji knows the stress of practicing in Africa’s busy hospitals. As a machine-learning scientist, he has a prescription for it. “I worked at one of West Africa’s largest hospitals, where I would routinely see more than 30 patients a day —  it’s a very hard job,” said Olatunji. …

Generalization on the Unseen, Logic Reasoning and Degree Curriculum

This paper considers the learning of logical (Boolean) functions with focus on the generalization on the unseen (GOTU) setting, a strong case of out-of-distribution generalization. This is motivated by the fact that the rich combinatorial nature of data in certain reasoning tasks (e.g., arithmetic/logic) makes representative data sampling challenging, and learning successfully under GOTU gives …
