by Kevin Duh, Senior Research Scientist The SCALE2018 Machine Translation workshop focused on building resilient neural machine translation systems for new domains. In addition to developing new algorithms to improve translation accuracy, the team also dedicated significant efforts to analysis techniques in order to understand when and why neural networks work. Neural network models, […]
by Greg Sell, Senior Research Scientist A team of Johns Hopkins researchers from the HLTCOE and CLSP participated in the recent DIHARD challenge. In the evaluation, teams were given audio recordings of speech from a diverse set of conditions with an unknown number of speakers, with the goal of correctly marking the times that each […]
Cross-lingual information extraction is the task of distilling facts from foreign language (e.g. Chinese text) into representations in another language that is preferred by the user (e.g. English tuples). Conventional pipeline solutions decompose the task as machine translation followed by information extraction (or vice versa). We propose a joint solution with a neural sequence model, […]
by Kevin Duh, Senior Research Scientist The HLTCOE has acquired a NVIDIA DGX-1 Deep Learning System to support its numerous deep learning research efforts. With eight Tesla P100 GPUs, this brand new system delivers 170 teraflops of computing power (equivalent to 250 x86 servers) and has been described as an “AI Supercomputer in a […]
