Canary-1B-v2 & Parakeet-TDT-0.6B-v3: Efficient and High-Performance Models for Multilingual ASR and AST
This report introduces Canary-1B-v2, a fast, robust multilingual model for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and Speech-to-Text Translation (AST). Built with a FastConformer encoder and Transformer decoder, it supports 25 languages primarily European. The model was trained on 1.7M hours of total data samples, including Granary and NeMo ASR Set 3.0, with non-speech audio added to reduce hallucinations for ASR and AST. We describe its two-stage pre-training and fine-tuning process with dynamic d…

Die älteste Kryptowährung stürzt gerade ab und ist weit unter 100.000 Dollar gefallen. Auch andere Digitalwährungen brechen ein.«
😎🍿 P.S. kein weiteren Kommentar von mir diesbezüglich ausser dass dies bei jeglicher Finanz-Hoffnungen geschieht, egal vom Trump & Co. unterstützt oder nicht.

Wie öffnet man festsitzende #Schraubgläser, wenn einem fast die Hand abfällt? 🚴‍♂️🥫 Ich habe vor einiger Zeit mal einen #Hebelöffner zum Klemmen ausprobiert. Nach 2 Sekunden war er kaputt. Es gibt eine einfachere Lösung, die oft funktioniert. Neugierig auf weitere Details?

Learning-To-Measure: In-context Active Feature Acquisition
Active feature acquisition (AFA) is a sequential decision-making problem where the goal is to improve model performance for test instances by adaptively selecting which features to acquire. In practice, AFA methods often learn from retrospective data with systematic missingness in the features and limited task-specific labels. Most prior work addresses acquisition for a single predetermined task, limiting scalability. To address this limitation, we formalize the meta-AFA problem, where the goal…

Regarding oat milk, I tried a number of different products over the summer, and I agree, it’s become a very good alternative both wrt. taste and to consistency.
