How should we use domain knowledge in the era of deep learning? (A perspective from speech processing)
CS colloquium Building 216 room 201Deep neural networks are the new default machine learning approach in many domains, such as computer vision, speech processing, and natural language processing. Given sufficient data for a target task, end-to-end models can be learned with fairly simple, almost universal algorithms. Such models learn their own internal representations, which in many cases appear to be ... Read more
