A primary goal of online deliberation platforms is to identify ideas that are broadly agreeable to a community of users through their expressed preferences. Yet, consensus elicitation should ideally extend beyond the specific statements provided by users and should incorporate the relative salience of particular topics. We address this issue by modelling consensus as an interval in a one-dimensional opinion space derived from potentially high-dimensional data via embedding and dimensionality reduction. We define an objective that maximizes expected […]

Hey guys! At my company, we’ve been benchmarking STT engines a lot and kept running into the same issue: WER is penalizing formatting differences that have nothing to do with actual recognition quality. “It’s $50” vs “it is fifty dollars”, “3:00PM” vs “3 pm”. Both perfect transcription, but a terrible error rate. The fix is normalizing both sides before scoring, but every project we had a different script doing it slightly differently. So we built a proper library […]

In this paper, we make the case that a scientific theory of deep learning is emerging. By this we mean a theory which characterizes important properties and statistics of the training process, hidden representations, final weights, and performance of neural networks. We pull together major strands of ongoing research in deep learning theory and identify five growing bodies of work that point toward such a theory: (a) solvable idealized settings that provide intuition for learning dynamics in realistic […]

[…] if you ever needed another reason to learn in public by digital gardening or podcasting or streaming or whathaveyou, add on that people will assume you’re more competent than you are. This will get you invites to very cool exclusive events filled with high-achieving, interesting people, even though you have no right to be there. A+ side benefit. — Maggie Appleton, Gathering Structures (via) Tags: blogging, maggie-appleton
