Insanely fast whisper now with Speaker Diarisation! 🔥

100% local and works on your Mac or on Nvidia GPUs.

All thanks to @hbredin's Pyannote library, you can now get blazingly fast transcriptions and speaker segmentations! ⚡️

Here's how you can use it too:

pipx install insanely-fast-whisper

After a successful install, you should be able to run insanely-fast-whisper from anywhere on your Mac/ PC.

insanely-fast-whisper --file-name <FILE NAME or URL> --batch-size 2 --device-id mps --hf_token <HF TOKEN>

P.S. This is very much a WIP, I'll refactor a lot of this code and add speaker diarisation specific features next!

That's it!🤗

How to get unstuck?

"It doesn't work." 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

In most research projects, ~99% of the time your experiments DO NOT work. What should we do to get ourselves unstuck? 🤔

Sharing some tips I found useful. 🧵

I'm so excited to share my PhD thesis publicly. It's 88 pages long, I wrote it from scratch, and I tried to create a useful document for anyone wanting to gain a rigorous but unfussy understanding of the mathematics of deep learning.

It's here: https://t.co/nbFRz2BTiI

Addiction is a progressive narrowing
of the things that bring you pleasure.
Happiness is a progressive expansion of the things that bring you pleasure. The former emerges passively.
The latter takes work.

[Jan Leike @janleike]

This is the most important plot of alignment lore:

Whenever you optimize a proxy, you make progress on your true objective for a while.

At some point you start overoptimizing and do worse on your true objective (hard to know when).

This applies to all proxy measures ever.

“Above all, do not lose your desire to walk: Every day I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness; I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it.” — Søren Kierkegaard

Matrix factorizations are the pinnacle results of linear algebra.

From theory to applications, they are behind many theorems, algorithms, and methods. However, it is easy to get lost in the vast jungle of decompositions.

This is how to make sense of them.

Attention is one of the most important breakthroughs in AI - the foundation of Transformers

This @distillpub is the best explanation of it I've seen.

For #100DaysOfMLCode / #100DaysOfCode folks - try building an attention mechanism from scratch!

@CallistusAkello @PhDVoice @PhDfriendSana @PhDchatter You can start writing your lit review or methods before completing your data collection and analysis. I wouldn't recommend waiting to complete it before beginning to write.

I managed to finish my thesis in a year if you're interest in reading about it https://t.co/y5pkJr24op

Finding truth lies in experimenting with unproductive paths, explore dead ends, make space for doubts and boredom, and allow little seeds of insight to slowly grow and blossom.

Excited to share with everyone an accessible, intuitive tutorial on diffusion models! If you're curious about the math behind diffusion models and how their different interpretations can be unified, please check it out!

Stay tuned for a blog post soon!
