WHAT THE RESEARCH IS: A new fully convolutional approach to automatic speech recognition and wav2letter++, the fastest state-of-the-art end-to-end speech recognition system available. The approach …
An integral part of Facebook’s engineering culture has always been our development work on open source solutions that solve real-world production issues and address key challenges in modern l…
To accelerate the transfer of natural language processing (NLP) applications to many more languages, we have significantly expanded and enhanced our LASER (Language-Agnostic SEntence Representation…
Distributing large pieces of software to thousands of machines with a wide variety of configurations can pose a significant operational challenge, requiring a process to identify and copy precisely…
Earlier this year, we shared a vision for making AI development faster and more interoperable. Today, during our first-ever PyTorch Developer Conference, we are announcing updates about the growing…
Hash tables provide a fast way to maintain a set of keys or map keys to values, even if the keys are objects, like strings. They are such a ubiquitous tool in computer science that even incremental…
We run one of the largest microservices deployments in the world, with thousands of services that perform billions of requests per second. Keeping information secure as these services communicate g…
In recent years, compute-intensive artificial intelligence tasks have prompted creation of a wide variety of custom hardware to run these powerful new systems efficiently. Deep learning models, suc…
Two years ago, Facebook open-sourced Zstandard v1.0, a landmark data compression solution that offers best-in-kind performance. Since then, we’ve released a variety of enhancements and advanc…
Most machine learning tasks — from natural language processing to image classification to translation and many others — rely on derivative-free optimization to tune parameters and/or hyperparameter…
As a founding member of the Open Compute Project (OCP) community, Facebook embraces a collaborative approach to solving industry-wide problems. One of the more pressing problems facing the industry…
