Selective Knowledge Distillation for Neural Machine Translation
Wang, Fusheng, Yan, Jianhao, Meng, Fandong, Zhou, Jie
Neural Machine Translation (NMT) models achieve state-of-the-art performance on many translation benchmarks. As an active research field in NMT, knowledge distillation is widely applied to enhance the model's performance by transferring teacher model's knowledge on each training sample. However, previous work rarely discusses the different impacts and connections among these samples, which serve as the medium for transferring teacher knowledge. In this paper, we design a novel protocol that can effectively analyze the different impacts of samples by comparing various samples' partitions. Based on above protocol, we conduct extensive experiments and find that the teacher's knowledge is not the more, the better. Knowledge over specific samples may even hurt the whole performance of knowledge distillation. Finally, to address these issues, we propose two simple yet effective strategies, i.e., batch-level and global-level selections, to pick suitable samples for distillation. We evaluate our approaches on two large-scale machine translation tasks, WMT'14 English->German and WMT'19 Chinese->English. Experimental results show that our approaches yield up to +1.28 and +0.89 BLEU points improvements over the Transformer baseline, respectively.
Cross-Referencing Self-Training Network for Sound Event Detection in Audio Mixtures
Park, Sangwook, Han, David K., Elhilali, Mounya
Sound event detection is an important facet of audio tagging that aims to identify sounds of interest and define both the sound category and time boundaries for each sound event in a continuous recording. With advances in deep neural networks, there has been tremendous improvement in the performance of sound event detection systems, although at the expense of costly data collection and labeling efforts. In fact, current state-of-the-art methods employ supervised training methods that leverage large amounts of data samples and corresponding labels in order to facilitate identification of sound category and time stamps of events. As an alternative, the current study proposes a semi-supervised method for generating pseudo-labels from unsupervised data using a student-teacher scheme that balances self-training and cross-training. Additionally, this paper explores post-processing which extracts sound intervals from network prediction, for further improvement in sound event detection performance. The proposed approach is evaluated on sound event detection task for the DCASE2020 challenge. The results of these methods on both "validation" and "public evaluation" sets of DESED database show significant improvement compared to the state-of-the art systems in semi-supervised learning.

How ditching the nine-to-five could help businesses adapt as use of artificial intelligence increases
Switching from a nine-to-five to a nine-to-three workday could be the way forward in an increasingly hi-tech world, researchers say. A University of Otago report, released on Monday, found that while the impact of increased use of artificial intelligence (AI) on jobs was hard to predict, a shorter work week could help businesses and workers adapt. Report co-author Professor James Maclaurin said using AI alongside human workers could increase efficiency, productivity and potentially incomes. Avoiding AI, on the other hand, pushed workers into low-paid work while technology took on high value tasks.

5 Main Roles of Artificial Intelligence in Education
Whether it's digital marketing or real estate, AI has revolutionized just about every sector and the education sector is not an exception. In fact, it plays a huge role when it comes to learning and teaching. Today, schools and colleges use artificial intelligence to improve their teaching methods and boost engagement. AI asks questions from students, adds supplementary questions to ensure that students answer questions correctly, and challenges students to enhance their learning experience. The good news is that the role of AI in education is only likely to expand.

How to use PyCaret -- the library for low-code ML
When we approach supervised machine learning problems, it can be tempting to just see how a random forest or gradient boosting model performs and stop experimenting if we are satisfied with the results. What if you could compare many different models with just one line of code? What if you could reduce each step of the data science process from feature engineering to model deployment to just a few lines of code? This is exactly where PyCaret comes into play. PyCaret is a high-level, low-code Python library that makes it easy to compare, train, evaluate, tune, and deploy machine learning models with only a few lines of code.
