Adapting Whisper for Streaming Speech Recognition via Two-Pass Decoding
OpenAI Whisper is a family of robust Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) models trained on 680,000 hours of audio. However, its encoder-decoder architecture, trained with a sequence-to-sequence objective, lacks native support for streaming ASR. In this paper, we fine-tune Whisper for streaming ASR using the WeNet toolkit by adopting a Unified Two-pass (U2) structure. We introduce an additional Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC) decoder trained with causal attention masks to generate str…

Quase quarenta minutos perdidos de trabalho porque os gatos exigiram minha atenção e aí eu fiquei brincando com eles com a varinha. Agora estou ainda mais ferrado do que antes, mas sem nenhum arrependimento rs.

To put it mildly, the past week at Windsurf has been crazy. There have been a lot of different rumors and reports, so I want to share a transparent account of how it actually went down. Before I start, I just want to say that Varun and Douglas were great founders and this

Glitch analysis and asteroseismic modelling of subgiant $μ$ Herculis: confirming and interpreting the $Γ_1$ peak as the helium glitch
The measurements of pressure-mode and mixed-mode oscillation frequencies in subgiant stars offer a unique opportunity to probe their internal structures -- from the surface to the deep interior -- and to precisely determine their global properties. We have conducted a detailed asteroseismic analysis of the benchmark subgiant $μ$ Herculis using eight seasons of radial velocity observations from the SONG telescope, and have determined its mass, radius, age, and surface helium abundance to be $1.…

Why Synthetic Isn't Real Yet: A Diagnostic Framework for Contact Center Dialogue Generation
Synthetic transcript generation is critical in contact center domains, where privacy and data scarcity limit model training and evaluation. Unlike prior synthetic dialogue generation work on open-domain or medical dialogues, contact center conversations are goal-oriented, role-asymmetric, and behaviorally complex, featuring disfluencies, ASR noise, and compliance-driven agent actions. In deployments where transcripts are unavailable, standard pipelines still yield derived call attributes such a…

A segmented robot grasping perception neural network for edge AI
Robotic grasping, the ability of robots to reliably secure and manipulate objects of varying shapes, sizes and orientations, is a complex task that requires precise perception and control. Deep neural networks have shown remarkable success in grasp synthesis by learning rich and abstract representations of objects. When deployed at the edge, these models can enable low-latency, low-power inference, making real-time grasping feasible in resource-constrained environments. This work implements Hea…

Entanglement Entropy of Quantum Corners
In gravitational theories with boundaries, diffeomorphisms can become physical and acquire a non-vanishing Noether charge. Using the covariant phase space formalism, on shell of the gravitational constraints, the latter localizes on codimension-$2$ surfaces, the corners. The corner proposal asserts that these charges, and their algebras, must be important ingredients of any quantum gravity theory. In this manuscript, we continue the study of quantum corner symmetries and algebras by computing t…
