| We have two guest speakers this week, Josh Phillips & Charlie Rogers! Josh has covered a few topics for us in the past, but this will be Charlie’s first time presenting for us, so please come and engage.
Topic 1 (Josh Phillips) : Structured Outputs with Finite State Machines
Discover how the integration of finite state machines with guided decoding can significantly enhance the stability and reliability of Large Language Models’ inference processes. In this session, you will delve into the intricacies of structured generation, learning how it not only ensures strict adherence to desired formats but also accelerates processing speeds by up to five times.
Experience firsthand demonstrations of various pipelines transitioning from unstructured to structured outputs, illustrating the ease and effectiveness of implementation. Join us to unlock advanced techniques that optimize both the performance and consistency of your language models.
Topic 2 (Charlie Rogers) : Let’s Talk It Out : Open Source Speech to Speech (S2S)
Dive into the world of open-source speech-to-speech systems and discover how to build efficient pipelines from scratch. Learn about the modular approach, explore user-friendly tools, and learn from Charlie’s experience with automating client-server architectures using RunPod. Ideal for developers and researchers looking to advance their speech processing projects.
2025 AI Symposium:
We should also have representatives from the Space & Rocket Center AI Symposium stop by to give an introduction to the symposium for next year. Last year was a lot of fun, and this year appears to be even bigger. I’ll drop a link to last years sessions below. |
