How people talk about marijuana on Reddit: a natural language analysis
In honor of today being April 20th, I thought it would be interesting to do some NLP on Reddit comments about marijuana (shout out to…

Denser 3D Point Clouds in OpenSfM
We've improved OpenSfM—the technology we use to create 3D reconstructions from images. By adding post-processing, we get denser 3D point clouds resulting in better visualization, positioning, and much more.

A 2019 Guide for Automatic Speech Recognition
Computer-based processing and identification of human voices is known as speech recognition. It can be used to authenticate users in certain systems, as well as provide instructions to smart devices like the Google Assistant, Siri or Cortana. Essentially, it works… Continue reading A 2019 Guide for Automatic Speech…

Embeddings, vectors, and arithmetic
An embedding is the representation of a piece of text like a word, sentence, or paragraph. Traditionally this value is in the form of a mathematical vector - a point in space. You can think of it as analogous to coordinates on a map that just happens to have many, many dimensions.

Language Models, Word2Vec, and Efficient Softmax Approximations
The Word2Vec model has become a standard method for representing words as dense vectors. This is typically done as a preprocessing step, after which the learned vectors are fed into a discriminative model (typically an RNN) to generate predictions such as movie review sentiment, do machine translation, or even…

Notes on Weight Initialization for Deep Neural Networks
Neural networks involve long sequence of multiplications, usually between a matrix and a vector, say \(a*x\). The result of this sequence of multiplications will either have a huge magnitude or be reduced to 0. We can divide \(a\) by a number ( scaling_factor ) to scale down its magnitude to the right level. Proper…

Discovering Novel Algorithms with AlphaTensor
In our paper, published today in Nature, we introduce AlphaTensor, the first artificial intelligence (AI) system for discovering novel, efficient, and provably correct algorithms for fundamental tasks such as matrix multiplication. This sheds light on a 50-year-old open question in mathematics about finding the…

Zero-shot learning: Using text to more accurately identify images
WHAT THE RESEARCH IS: Zero-shot learning (ZSL) is a process by which a machine learns to recognize objects it has never seen before. Researchers at Facebook have developed a new, more accurate ZSL …
