Open source Kaldi gives you 7.8%, Microsoft didn't went too far. Also, major issue with this kind of research is that they combined several systems in order to get best results. Most practical systems don't use combinations, they

Congratulations to the team. Intel does not have a track record for excellent software unfortunately, but who knows, they seem to be quite serious about IOT.

Exactly, this simple example demonstrates how hard is to learn even a simple function. Playing with your code, 10 hidden units give error 0.6 in 1000 iterations, 1000 hidden units give error 0.02 in 10000 iterations so it takes way longer t

Oh yeah, our deep learning is a super cool technology, no need to study math, believe us, just buy more GPUs and they will help you, throw the data on the fan. Or, even better, give us your data, we'll decide what to do with it for you

Strictly speaking if you split the parameter set on batches and iterate over batches optimizing each set of parameters with a gradient, it is not strictly a gradient decent, it is more a combination of coordinate decent (because you select

Looks like a research in machine learning will only be done in huge corporations. You'll need an amount of funding comparable to LHC. Time to use better models like kernel ensembles, maybe they are not that accurate, but they are easie

The effort definitely not minimal. You have to collect 10000 transcribed hours first. This is not easy in many languages.

Sorry, nothing definite yet. Any sort of tree-based computation which makes early pruning decision is more efficient than full matrix multiplication, even if matrix is sparse. Then, high-order computation like power is again more efficient

It is not necessary to use phonemes in the model, however, it greatly restricts model's ability to learn, in particular to learn many special cases like rare foreign words. You need much more data to train the model and basically you l
