I am really attracted to the idea of local running in-browser tools, since the website is then used only as a distribution medium which is super easy to use. And I really need such a tool, I was eager to test it.
However on both my first and second try it failed. I tried to import a video clip recorded on a Pixel phone. In Firefox it failed with a following message:
"Your browser does not support the codec "hvc1.2.4.L156". Try a different video."
Ok, fair, probably need to use Chrome for this type of tool. Tried it in Chrome:
"Audio decode failed: your browser cannot decode the audio in "..._webm.bin". Try re-encoding the file with AAC audio."
Sad. Hope you manage to work this out. Let me know if you have a newsletter or something where I can get notified if this gets fixed.

This failed completely after trying to search for songs that don't have a unique name. This seemingly just does a basic string search on other streaming platforms. Sad...
Deep state-space models (Deep SSMs) have shown capabilities for in-context learning on autoregressive tasks, similar to transformers. However, the architectural requirements and mechanisms enabling this in recurrent networks remain unclear. This study demonstrates that state-space model architectures can perform gradient-based learning and use it for in-context learning.

Cool, thanks! It desperately needs the copping feature for the original image, so I don't need other tools.
My interest in sound design and music production took a surprising turn and I now spend my weekends studying alien vocalization. More specifically, figuring out how to synthesize believable alien vocals and make them expressive and customizable enough to be a tool for anyone who needs that sort of thing for their creative work.
I am releasing everything for free and the first "instrument" and sample pack with previews/videos is already available here: https://neuromorph.gumroad.com/l/alien_vocalization_study_1

For achieving a high accuracy for matching, it really comes down to details of your specific domain and dataset. Regarding the attempt of using large pre-trained language models to be able to find semantically similar documents, which is what you are attempting now, maybe try Whisper or other multilingual models, and then fine tune them on your dataset.
But a better bet might be actually turning looking into simpler embedding and methods and attempting to directly improve them by including some domain knowledge in the method or the process. Again, it is hard to judge what might work better just looking at the surface.
In case you really need to work with labeled datasets, set up a strong baseline, look into the active-learning methods and set up the loop, do a few iterations and try to predict if it will scale sufficiently fast to your target accuracy.
I have been working on an entity matching solution for two years now, and I have decided to write down some of the learning I picked up along the way. Turns out there are too many relevant details to cover in a single post, so I will cover the topic in multiple parts.
This first part is the high-level introduction, useful for project planning and architecture decisions that need to be made early in the development process. Any feedback is welcome, along with wishes for the follow-up parts if you have something specific that you would like to be covered.

I understand that youtube recommendations can be a very useful tool, but I definitely do not want depend on any opaque recommendation system for my daily media consumption or whatever.
Given the existence of "Subscriptions" page I don't really understand the problem. Do you really want to consume regularly from the sources you didn't explicitly "verify" yourself i.e. subscribed to?
I simple use the Unhook browser plugin which hides the Home, Trending, recommendations side bar, comments, etc. for me so I only have the Subscriptions page, and the search bar. Makes the youtube experience SO MUCH better.
I can not get this to work. Tried with both Firefox and Chrome, and turning of the add blocker. I just get the "Entering world..." popup that just stays there. Occasionally I get the red popup with cryptic "World is clean" message. I tried registering, I tried different worlds, even tried it on my phone, but it just doesn't start.... :(

My King has a suspiciously well informed opinion about maschine learning.
