Thank you for sharing your experience! It's awesome to hear what worked, and I see many parallels in our work as well (a manual rule system was key for me to unlock seq2seq and then the rest of the ML chain). By the way, Seq2seq models are still super useful, I've trained and I'm using many in the data pipeline of this project. LLMs are a nuclear hammer and sometimes you just have a teeny tiny nail.
There's also limited commercial value to what I'm working on, but it's a work of passion and I want to be able to speak in my native language to voice assistants (among other objectives).
How did you communicate about it at the time and gather newspaper interest, if you don't mind sharing your experience?
- vintermann 3y agoI went to a machine learning conference in Tromsø and talked with many people there, and I met the newspaper people at a local business fair in my hometown. I had a little android app to demo it, but the backend was too expensive to have up... optimizing the use of cloud resources was a can of worms I didn't even get started on!
- omneity 3y agoThanks again for sharing, that was super helpful. And yeah I agree it is indeed a massive endeavor, I'm sorry it didn't pan out the way you wanted it to. Are you still interested in this space, and do you write about your experiences anywhere? I'd love to connect if you want to.
- vintermann 3y agoSorry it took a little time to get back to you. Yes, I wrote a few articles, on linkedin of all places, but they didn't say much more than what I've said here, as I recall. You can contact me on vintermann at gmail if you want.
