Harnessing Wild and Untamed (Publicly Available) Data for the Cost efficient ...weiwchu
We recently discovered that models trained with large-scale speech datasets sourced from the web could achieve superior accuracy and potentially lower cost than traditionally human-labeled or simulated speech datasets. We developed a customizable AI-driven data labeling system. It infers word-level transcriptions with confidence scores, enabling supervised ASR training. It also robustly generates phone-level timestamps even in the presence of transcription or recognition errors, facilitating the training of TTS models. Moreover, It automatically assigns labels such as scenario, accent, language, and topic tags to the data, enabling the selection of task-specific data for training a model tailored to that particular task. We assessed the effectiveness of the datasets by fine-tuning open-source large speech models such as Whisper and SeamlessM4T and analyzing the resulting metrics. In addition to openly-available data, our data handling system can also be tailored to provide reliable labels for proprietary data from certain vertical domains. This customization enables supervised training of domain-specific models without the need for human labelers, eliminating data breach risks and significantly reducing data labeling cost.
Towards an Analysis-Ready, Cloud-Optimised service for FAIR fusion dataSamuel Jackson
We present our work to improve data accessibility and performance for data-intensive tasks within the fusion research community. Our primary goal is to develop services that facilitate efficient access for data-intensive applications while ensuring compliance with FAIR principles [1], as well as adoption of interoperable tools, methods and standards.
The major outcome of our work is the successful creation and deployment of a data service for the MAST (Mega Ampere Spherical Tokamak) experiment [2], leading to substantial enhancements in data discoverability, accessibility, and overall data retrieval performance, particularly in scenarios involving large-scale data access. Our work follows the principles of Analysis-Ready, Cloud Optimised (ARCO) data [3] by using cloud optimised data formats for fusion data.
Our system consists of a query-able metadata catalogue, complemented with an object storage system for publicly serving data from the MAST experiment. We will show how our solution integrates with the Pandata stack [4] to enable data analysis and processing at scales that would have previously been intractable, paving the way for data-intensive workflows running routinely with minimal pre-processing on the part of the researcher. By using a cloud-optimised file format such as zarr [5] we can enable interactive data analysis and visualisation while avoiding large data transfers. Our solution integrates with common python data analysis libraries for large, complex scientific data such as xarray [6] for complex data structures and dask [7] for parallel computation and lazily working with larger that memory datasets.
The incorporation of these technologies is vital for advancing simulation, design, and enabling emerging technologies like machine learning and foundation models, all of which rely on efficient access to extensive repositories of high-quality data. Relying on the FAIR guiding principles for data stewardship not only enhances data findability, accessibility, and reusability, but also fosters international cooperation on the interoperability of data and tools, driving fusion research into new realms and ensuring its relevance in an era characterised by advanced technologies in data science.

Combined supervised and unsupervised neural networks for pulse shape discrimi...Samuel Jackson
Our methodology for pulse shape discrimination is split into two steps. Firstly, we learn a model to discriminate between pulses using "clean" low-rate examples by removing pile-up & saturated events. In addition to traditional tail sum discrimination, we investigate three different choices for discrimination between γ-pulses, fast, thermal neutrons. We consider clustering the pulses directly using Gaussian Mixture Modelling (GMM), using variational autoencoders to learn a representation of the pulses and then clustering the learned representation (VAE+GMM) and using density ratio estimation to discriminate between a mixed (γ + neutron) and pure (γ only) sources using a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) as a supervised learning problem.
Secondly, we aim to classify and recover pile-up events in the < 150 ns regime by training a single unified multi-label MLP. To frame the problem as a multi-label supervised learning method, we first simulate pile-up events with known components. Then, using the simulated data and combining it with single event data, we train a final multi-label MLP to output a binary code indicating both how many and which type of events are present within an event window.

AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.
