VietASR: Achieving Industry-level Vietnamese ASR with 50-hour labeled data and Large-Scale Speech Pretraining
Automatic speech recognition (ASR) has made remarkable progress but heavily relies on large-scale labeled data, which is scarce for low-resource languages like Vietnamese. While existing systems such as Whisper, USM, and MMS achieve promising performance, their efficacy remains inadequate in terms of training costs, latency, and accessibility. To address these issues, we propose VietASR, a novel ASR training pipeline that leverages vast amounts of unlabeled data and a small set of labeled data.…

💥 What if AI could shrink your cloud bill by 80% in the time it takes to drink your coffee? | Daniel Meppiel
💥 What if AI could shrink your cloud bill by 80% in the time it takes to drink your coffee? 💥 I recently got it to happen—firsthand. What started as a quick experiment turned into something game-changing. Using VSCode's reusable prompts and the Azure MCP server, GitHub Copilot identified key optimizations for my app's infra in a predictable manner. Then, the Coding Agent implemented them. 📉 The result? An 80% smaller cloud bill. Just like that. In this 2-minute demo (linked below …

Vehicular Cloud Computing: A cost-effective alternative to Edge Computing in 5G networks
Edge Computing (EC) is a computational paradigm that involves deploying resources such as CPUs and GPUs near end-users, enabling low-latency applications like augmented reality and real-time gaming. However, deploying and maintaining a vast network of EC nodes is costly, which can explain its limited deployment today. A new paradigm called Vehicular Cloud Computing (VCC) has emerged and inspired interest among researchers and industry. VCC opportunistically utilizes existing and idle vehicular …

LeanExplore: A search engine for Lean 4 declarations
The expanding Lean 4 ecosystem poses challenges for navigating its vast libraries. This paper introduces LeanExplore, a search engine for Lean 4 declarations. LeanExplore enables users to semantically search for statements, both formally and informally, across select Lean 4 packages (including Batteries, Init, Lean, Mathlib, PhysLean, and Std). This search capability is powered by a hybrid ranking strategy, integrating scores from a multi-source semantic embedding model (capturing conceptual me…

Improving Code Switching with Supervised Fine Tuning and GELU Adapters
There are few code switching datasets, labeled or unlabled, that exist today. As a result, ASR requires new methods to utilize the vast monolingual data and models that exist. This paper uses OpenAI's open source ASR model, Whisper, which has been pre-trained on 680K hours of audio to perform monolingual ASR tasks. In Part 1, this paper examines how exploiting Whisper's monolingual ability to individually tokenize training text, called "Switching Tokenizers Method", improves transcription accur…
