Introduction Speech-to-text transcription is an important tool for mission analytics and many natural language processing tasks. In most cases, a language is manually preset before speech-to-text transcription can be applied. For scenarios where data is being aggregated in large quantities in various languages, automatic language detection capabilities would greatly streamline data processing. Novetta has developed a technique, Language Identification For Audio Spectrograms (LIFAS), that uses spectrograms of raw audio signals as input to a convolutional neural network (CNN) to be used for language identification. This approach requires minimal pre-processing, as raw audio signals are input into the neural network and…

Introducing Metadata Enhanced ULMFiT
Introduction Since its release in 2018, Novetta’s Machine Learning Center of Excellence has evaluated the performance of Universal Language Model Fine-Tuning (ULMFiT)1 against many customer use cases. We have found that automated labeling of unstructured text helps analysts be more efficient, freeing them up to focus on higher-value tasks. We have been so impressed with its accuracy that we have deployed ULMFiT against a dataset in a production system, with plans to expand it to dozens of other datasets. While ULMFiT’s performance has been impressive on all the datasets we’ve tested, we thought it could do more. Our first use…
State of the Art Text Classification with ULMFiT
Novetta’s Matt Teschke spoke at ODSC East – Boston in the session,”State of the Art Text Classification with ULMFiT” on May 2, 2019. The rise of the internet has led to a faster flow of information, where news posted to a relatively obscure blog can be shared on social media and reach national publications within hours. The volume of information is such that humans alone cannot filter out noise, identify important new viewpoints, and determine how messaging trends are changing over time. At Novetta, we are constantly evaluating advances in deep learning to help our customers…
