    RNN-T has received a lot of attention recently since it achieves state-of-art WER in automatic speech recognition. To run the RNN-T model in real-time on resource-limited edge devices, model compression is often required. However, typical compression methods are still challenging to apply to RNN-T. First, it takes a lot of fine-tuning time and computing resources (e.g., up to several weeks even with multiple

    While transformers demonstrate impressive performance on many knowledge intensive (KI) tasks, their ability to serve as implicit knowledge bases (KBs) remains limited, as shown on several slot-filling, question-answering (QA), fact verification, and entity-linking tasks. In this paper, we implement an efficient, data-programming technique that enriches training data with KB-derived context and improves

    Pretraining and then finetuning of large language models is one of the commonly used approaches to achieve good performance in natural language processing (NLP) tasks. However most pre-trained models have large memory footprint and low inference speed. Deploying such large models to applications with latency constraint is challenging. In this work, we focus on accelerating the inference via conditional

    Most action recognition solutions rely on dense sampling to precisely cover the informative temporal clip. Extensively searching the temporal region is expensive for a real-world application. In this work, we focus on improving the inference efficiency of current action recognition backbones on trimmed videos and illustrate that an action model can accurately classify an action with a single pass over the
