Nice! Would you be supporting Volta GPUs when it is launched?
braindead_in··on Ask HN: What is the max audio quality to feed to machine-learning transcription?
Most datasets are 16khz sampling rate, wav file. A good place to start is Mozilla deepspeech implementation.

So when are the new AWS instances are coming?
braindead_in··on Ask HN: Does a graph of ML audio transcription accuracy over time exist?
I remember seeing a paper from Microsoft on arXiv about the recent advancements in ASR which had a WER graph. Can't seem to find it now.

I definitely plan to try it soon.
braindead_in··on Google Team Refines GPU Powered Neural Machine Translation
1. Clone DGX-1

2. Rent it out.

3. Profit!!!

I would pay for cloud DGX-1 servers.

braindead_in··on Google Team Refines GPU Powered Neural Machine Translation
Why not use DGX-1? Surely Google can afford a bunch of these.
braindead_in··on Show HN: Aeneas – a Python audio/text aligner
Thanks for the explanation. Will it work if there are gaps in the transcript? Eg, the clean verbatim transcript where the ah's and uhm's are left out.
braindead_in··on Show HN: Aeneas – a Python audio/text aligner
What's the accuracy level of alignment?
braindead_in··on Show HN: A general-purpose encoder-decoder framework for Tensorflow
Are there any examples of seq2seq networks being used for tasks other than NLP? For example, can it be used for something like noise removal?

VM migration between the cloud hosting services is a big pain. I hope someone comes up with an app to do that.

Or maybe treat the disease? No?

If history has taught us anything, it is that the we survive. Wars, disease, plague has not killed us off. We will survive this as well. The question is at what cost. I am not ready to give up my humanity. That is the only thing separating me from a monkey.

And US is not the only country affected by Islamic terrorism. A visa ban is hardly the magic panacea for terrorism.

braindead_in··on Time to Take a Stand
I question how effective this policy is going to be in stopping the actual terrorists. Just as a determined hacker will always find a way to break into your server/network, the terrorists will find a way to illegally enter.

No standalone ASR? I am looking for an ASR as a Service for audio/video files where I can use my data to train my own models. AFAIK nobody's offering that yet.

braindead_in··on Ask HN: What problem in your industry is a potential startup?
We are an human powered audio/video transcription service and have lots of training data that can be used for training a speech recognition system. An ASR-as-a-Service in the cloud kind of platform where we can use our data to continuously train and improve the models would be very useful for us.
