Open sourcing wav2letter++, the fastest state-of-the-art speech system, and flashlight, an ML library going native by/via via @fbOpenSource

The Facebook AI Research (FAIR) Speech team is sharing the first fully convolutional speech recognition system. It uses convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for acoustic modeling and language modeling, and is reproducible. The team says that wav2letter++ is composed only of convolutional layers, which yields performance that’s competitive with recurrent architectures.

There are two articles linked of the landing page from the links in this post. This reads as a great achievement and looks very interesting.

WEBINAR: Combining Human Intelligence with ML for NLP and Speech - 17 May 2018

Overview

Title: Combining Human Intelligence with Machine Learning for NLP and Speech

Date: Thursday, May 17, 2018

Time: 09:00 AM Pacific Daylight Time

Duration: 1 hour

Summary

Combining Human Intelligence with Machine Learning for NLP and Speech

Executing successful Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Speech projects in the real world is complicated. It is often difficult to find the right volume of raw data to annotate, especially if some categories/words/topics are very rare in the data. It is also difficult to find and manage the right people to annotate, transcribe or create the data, especially when the use case requires domain expertise or certain languages and accents.

Join this latest Data Science Central webinar and learn how to incorporate better active learning and annotation strategies into your NLP projects to achieve better in your NLP and Speech applications.  This webinar will include a brief demo of the Figure Eight platform to show how to generate high-quality, human-annotated training data and incorporate that training data into human-in-the-loop machine learning systems that you can run in your own environment.
