In this extra special episode of the TWIML AI Podcast, a friend of the show John Bohannon leads a jam-packed conversation with Hugging Face’s recently appointed head of research Douwe Kiela. In our conversation with Douwe, we explore his role at the company, how his perception of Hugging Face has changed since joining, and what research entails at the company. We discuss the emergence of the transformer model and the emergence of BERT-ology, the recent shift to solving more multimodal problems, the importance of this subfield as one of the “Grand Directions'' of Hugging Face’s research agenda, and the importance of BLOOM, the open-access Multilingual Language Model that was the output of the BigScience project. Finally, we get into how Douwe’s background in philosophy shapes his view of current projects, as well as his projections for the future of NLP and multimodal ML.

Solutions

Our conversations with hundreds of ML/AI practitioners and teams have demonstrated that effective tools and platforms are the key to delivering ML and AI at scale—allowing teams to innovate more quickly and consistently.

The TWIML Solutions guide helps you identify technologies and solutions that can help your organization deliver models into production more quickly and efficiently.

Latest Research

Long before starting the TWIML podcast, I worked at the intersection of the two technology shifts that ultimately enabled modern artificial intelligence: cloud computing and big data. AWS was the clear leader in cloud even back then, so I jumped at the opportunity to attend the company’s first re:Invent conference way back in 2012.

Pachyderm provides the ability to modularize, orchestrate, and scale the steps of your ML pipeline within a language-agnostic platform — with the added ability to trace the lineage and versioning of both code and data.

A recent tweet from Soft Linden illustrated the importance of strong responsible AI, governance and testing frameworks for organizations deploying public-facing machine learning applications.

Following a search for “had a seizure now what”, the tweet showed that Google’s “featured snippet” highlighted actions that a University of Utah healthcare site explicitly advised readers NOT to take.

We’re proud to announce the new TWIML Solutions Guide, a directory of machine learning tools and platform technologies for data scientists, ML engineers and other AI practitioners and leaders. The Guide aims to help them explore and compare open source and commercial offerings for building, delivering, and improving their ML and AI projects. This post explains why we think the guide is important and highlights some of its key features.

In order to help enterprise machine learning, data science, and AI innovators understand how model-driven enterprises are successfully scaling machine learning, we have conducted numerous interviews on the topic.

In this post, we present three representative ML platforms: Airbnb’s Bighead, Facebook’s FBLearner, and LinkedIn’s Pro-ML. Each of these platforms was developed in response to the unique situation, challenges, and considerations faced by its creator.
