Building a Production Model for Retrieval-Based Chatbots

2019

Response suggestion is an important task for building human-computer conversation systems. Recent approaches to conversation modeling have introduced new model architectures with impressive results, but relatively little attention has been paid to whether these models …

Flambé: A Customizable Framework for Machine Learning Experiments

2019

Flamb is a machine learning experimentation framework built to accelerate the entire research life cycle. Flamb's main objective is to provide a unified interface for prototyping models, running experiments containing complex pipelines, monitoring those experiments …

ASAPP-ASR: Multistream CNN and Self-Attentive SRU for SOTA Speech Recognition

2020 · arXiv (Cornell University)

In this paper we present state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance on the LibriSpeech corpus with two novel neural network architectures, a multistream CNN for acoustic modeling and a self-attentive simple recurrent unit (SRU) for language modeling. In …
