WinterLight Labs (http://www.winterlightlabs.com) | Machine Learning Engineer | Toronto, Canada | Full Time | Onsite & At home

WinterLight Labs is a Toronto-based company which has developed cutting-edge software for objectively measuring cognitive impairment by automatically quantifying hundreds of aspects of speech and language using natural language processing algorithms and machine learning. We are seeking a Machine Learning Engineer ​to specialize in the development of automatic speech recognition (ASR) and machine learning (ML) models. This role may involve:

● In-house implementation of state-of-the-art ASR models, using deep neural networks and open-source tools, such as Kaldi. ● Research and development of methods for online re-training and adaptation of ASR models, especially for individuals with speech disorders (e.g., aphasia) and elderly voices ● Analysis of the robustness of lexico-syntactic features derived from errorful ASR transcripts. ● Implementation of additional lexico-syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic features derived from textual transcripts ● Implementation of additional acoustic features derived from the speech signal ● Optimization of feature selection and dimensionality reduction techniques ● Optimization of model hyperparameters, and experimentation with a variety of model types. ● Optimization of multi-view approaches to data fusion ● Leveraging unsupervised and supervised approaches to data fusion

Those are several possible negative outcomes of positive discrimination. It's also possible that more women speakers at conferences encourages other women to speak, to work on side projects and generally to do things that get them promoted.

I think her point is that since there is so much negative discrimination, the positive discrimination is cancelled out.

This was a long time coming! I'm very happy to see socket.io 1.0 finally released. Pre-1.0 had some deal-breaking technical issues, such as starting with websockets and falling back to polling. I think the new approach is starting with polling and then seeing if a) websockets are supported by the current browser and b) messages sent via websocket are received by the server (a firewall might prevent this).

ChikkaChiChi, that may be the single best explanation for what Vagrant is. Most people answer: "It provisions VMs" which isn't as enlightening as your answer!

I suppose I wrote this blog entry as much for myself as for other nascent entrepreneurs. If you've been in the business for awhile, and your successful, the content shouldn't be new to you.

If they support coupons, I don't see why they can't support taxes. Taxes are just the opposite of coupons and should be relatively easy for them to implement.

Indeed, and that is what we're doing right now. However, it would be nice if they dealt with creating nicely formatted invoices and emailed them so we don't have to.

Can it also be used with socket.io? I'm working on a real-time app and I'm using socket.io to transport the data and graphing it on canvas. I'd be happy to use a graphing library that 1) looks good, and 2) works with real-time data, instead of my custom solution.

I mentioned "Understoodit runs on devices that you and your students already own: smartphones, tablets, netbooks and notebooks." But I agree I think saying 'nothing to download or install' is a great idea, thanks!

Good thoughts! The 4-5 digit code would be a good way of differentiating between sessions/lecture. When adding class polls etc, it my be advantageous to give each student their own account. That could conflict with the current anonymous aspect of understoodit.com though.
