Speech and audio processing is crucial in models involving speech data, particularly in handling complex tasks such as speech recognition, text-to-speech synthesis, speaker recognition, and speech enhancement. The key challenge lies in the variability and complexity of speech signals, which are influenced by factors like pronunciation, accent, background noise, and acoustic conditions. Additionally, the scarcity…
Language models have made significant strides in mathematical reasoning, with synthetic data playing a crucial role in their development. However, the field faces significant challenges due to the closed-source nature of the largest math datasets. This lack of transparency raises concerns about data leakage and erodes trust in benchmark results, as evidenced by performance drops…
Modern machine learning (ML) phenomena such as double descent and benign overfitting have challenged long-standing statistical intuitions, confusing many classically trained statisticians. These phenomena contradict fundamental principles taught in introductory data science courses, especially overfitting and the bias-variance tradeoff. The striking performance of highly overparameterized ML models trained to zero loss contradicts conventional wisdom about…
Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) have been foundational in machine learning for addressing various sequence-based problems, including time series forecasting and natural language processing. RNNs are designed to handle sequences of varying lengths by maintaining an internal state that captures information across time steps. However, these models often struggle with vanishing and exploding gradient issues, which…
In today’s rapidly evolving landscape, enterprise chatbots are becoming essential tools to enhance employee productivity by providing quick access to organizational knowledge. However, the journey to build effective, scalable, and secure Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems is fraught with challenges. NVIDIA’s recent research offers a comprehensive solution with the FACTS framework, addressing issues such as content…
Dense geometry prediction in computer vision involves estimating properties like depth and surface normals for each pixel in an image. Accurate geometry prediction is critical for applications such as robotics, autonomous driving, and augmented reality, but current methods often require extensive training on labeled datasets and struggle to generalize across diverse tasks. Existing methods for…
Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable in-context learning capabilities across various domains, including translation, function learning, and reinforcement learning. However, the underlying mechanisms of these abilities, particularly in reinforcement learning (RL), remain poorly understood. Researchers are attempting to unravel how LLMs learn to generate actions that maximize future discounted rewards through trial and error,…
Video Generation by LLMs is an emerging field with a promising growth trajectory. While Autoregressive Large Language Models (LLMs) have excelled in generating coherent and lengthy sequences of tokens in natural language processing, their application in video generation has been limited to short videos of a few seconds. To address this, researchers have introduced Loong,…
Generative models based on diffusion processes have shown great promise in transforming noise into data, but they face key challenges in flexibility and efficiency. Existing diffusion models typically rely on fixed data representations (e.g., pixel-basis) and uniform noise schedules, limiting their ability to adapt to the structure of complex, high-dimensional datasets. This rigidity results in…
While existing speech datasets are heavily skewed towards English, many EU languages are underserved in terms of accessible and high-quality speech data. This lack of resources leads to AI models that better understand and process English than other languages in tasks like recognition, machine translation, and other natural language processing tasks. The scarcity of well-organized,…
