Proud of this work published a few days ago at SLT 2024 on continual learning for end to end ASR. Turns out changing the CL paradigm to parallel training on different tasks and merging these experts can reduce the forgetting rate to as low as 0.4%! poonehmousavi.github.io/asse…

Fine-tuning #LLMs on domain-specific data doesn’t always improve performance, a challenge we call the "Adaptation Odyssey". Why does this happen? Our new #EMNLP2024 paper led by @firatoncell discusses this issue. 📄 arxiv.org/pdf/2410.05581 #AI #NLP #DeepLearning

I am happy to announce that "Listenable Maps for Audio Classifiers" has been accepted at #icml2024 as an oral! Check out 👨‍💻 code in @Speechbrain1 tinyurl.com/lmac-code 🖥️ website tinyurl.com/lmac2 📖 paper: tinyurl.com/lmac5 #AI #deeplearning #audio #explainableAI
L-MAC is a posthoc explanation method that helps us to hear why an audio classifier makes its decisions. It takes the hidden representations of a pretrained classifier and feeds them to a decoder to predict saliency maps.

For a deep, thoughtful discussion of proliferation, regulation, and why open source is the better—and safer—path to take with AI, I HIGHLY recommend this piece by @jeremyphoward. I learned much from it and encourage others to as well: fast.ai/posts/2023-11-07-dis…

How in the world Effective Altruists went from supporting data-driven charitable impact like mosquito nets to organizing protests against open source is beyond me. This is no long altruism—this is ideological posturing that hurts, not helps, society. spectrum.ieee.org/meta-ai

Fresh paper out #EMNLP2023 LLMs excel in zero-shot text-to-SQL but still benefit greatly from in-domain demonstrations. This work is driven by two questions: (1) What are the key factors within in-domain examples? (2) Can we harness these benefits without in-domain annotations?

Happy to share the last work in my PhD is accepted to #EMNLP2023 findings. Many thanks to my advisor @EricFos We propose a new framework to select text-to-SQL demonstration examples from out-of-domain data and synthetic in-domain data. The paper will be released next week!
