I want to know, is this episode of your podcast since its fastest? Are we going to do an airing of our grievances? I get a lot of grievances. Especially with boxing, I got to let that, it's actually not a bad column, the airing of the grievances. I think that would piss a lot of people off, but that's not a bad idea for a column. We're worried about pissing people off. No, no, not so much, not so much, although I just, yes, the number of text message I get nowadays from pissed off people a little higher than I'd like at the moment. But it's neither here nor there.

All right. Lot to get into this week. At a busy weekend in boxing last weekend to my guest keep idex surprise, I made an appearance at a non zone fight last weekend. I was at Mazda Square Garden for the Teófimo López win over sandor Martin. He is in Las Vegas for the Martin river fight, which will take place on showtime. A very good fight, although I'm curious to see how it does in terms of television ratings. This is a fight that, you know, too young ish, you know, would be contenders going at it. I'm very interested in that fight this weekend. Talk about that and much more. Let's bring in Keith edict. Out in Las Vegas, his home away from home is favorite place to be on earth, Keith edict is here. What's up, Keith? We're just what's going on. It is my home away from home, so a little less time here this year overall than in the past, but still probably about 40 days when it's all said and done. Yeah, familiar with Las Vegas for sure. And listen, whenever you show up to a fight, it's an honor to have you at race, but Saturday night was a rare treat, you know? Yes, to see my second fight for Sandra Martina's many years and I'm not entirely sure I need to see a third. We'll get into that a little later on in the show. We're going to get into Martin Rivera terrific fight that's going to air on showtime this weekend. But I do want to look back at a couple of things. Let's start with Terrence Crawford. Number one pound for pound on my list, top three, at least on virtually everybody else's. He returns after a 13 month layoff and stops David Evans in the 6th round. That fight went largely as I expected, you know, aven is not bad.

And we are back boxing with Chris mannix part of the volume sports podcast network. Back at home this week, no road trips this week, but I will I think make my way to New York for the Teófimo López sandor Martin fight this weekend, pop in on Saturday. That should be a good one, on ESPN. We've got some stuff over in the UK. Josh Warrington back in action, but there's a lot going on in the business of boxing as well. To talk about that and much more, I want to bring in a guy just saw this past weekend in Arizona. Jake Donovan, senior writer, over at boxing scene dot com. He was in Glendale, Arizona for chocolatito, Estrada, part three, which was interesting for a lot of different reasons. Jake, how you doing, man? I'm doing good, Chris. Yeah, I feel like it's been a few days since I last saw you. All right, let's start with last weekend. Roman Gonzalez Juan Francisco Estrada, they fight for the third time. You know, for the second fight in a row, it was ultra competitive. The first fight was competitive, but that was a pretty clear win for chocolate Tito back in 2012. He was the more experienced fighter astrada coming down and wait. But for the last like 24 rounds, you've got 23 of them probably that could have gone either way. The judges sought for Juan Francisco Estrada, how did you see that fight? I had ever sold. I had a one 15 one 13 for guy who Estrada. I'm perfectly fine if the fight was a drug, which I believe you had a diploma mistaken. I would have been fine. I don't know if chocolatito deserved to win. His team was pretty adamant. I don't know if you caught that in the hotel lobby. Like a few of them are like staring me down hard when I said, I'm like, yeah, I had a guy who went in by two. They're like, what do you mean by that? I'm like, was that close to the fight? But I would have been fine with a drawer and part four. It seems like a lot of us were like, you know, it took a little bit to get going. Once it got going, it's like, okay, this is the rivalry we've remembered for the past ten years. And I certainly wouldn't mind seeing 12 or less more rounds. Yeah, you can't be upset at the decision when, I mean, look, they gave away the first half of the fight or most of it anyway. Absolutely. You know, I had the benefit of listening in on the corner and you could hear Marcos caballero his trainer. You know, telling him, through the 5th round, like, what's that old line? You're blowing it, baby. You blowing it. The Angelo Dundee line. Right. They gave it away in the first part of that fight.

All right, welcome back to boxing with Chris mannix part of the volume sports podcast network. We've got a great show for you this week. I am coming to you from Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. I am here as part of the broadcast team for the zone fight. Dmitry beeville Gilberto Ramirez terrific fight. I'm going to get into that and much more with my guest this week. Ali Oladipo, a broadcaster with the zone. There's a lot of other media over in the UK. He's going to join me. Eddie Hearn, the promoter of this event, he's going to join me to run through a whole bunch of topics. So we've got a lot to get to on this show. But I did want to start off the top. By bringing attention to something I saw last week. Last week, on the undercard of the show headlined by William zapata and JoJo Diaz, you had a super bantamweight fight between two undefeated prospects. Hector Valdez, who was the golden boy promoted prospect, and max or nelas, who is a free agent prospect. Also undefeated, both 15 and O, they fought in the first fight of that telecast. And look, I'm not going to sit here and say it was a great fight, but this was a fight that max or Nas clearly won. He controlled the ring with his movement. He landed more punches, his combination punching was effective. The eyeball test just told you that he won the fight. Yet at the end of the fight, two of the three judges scored the fight for Valdez 97 to 93. They effectively gave Hector Valdez 7 of the ten rounds. That's lunacy. We're going to name these judges too.

Kevin, I only this year. Yahoo sports, jamel herring, the former 130 pound champion ESPN broadcaster. There's a lot of good things I want to talk about in boxing fellows, but I've had one of those days and we're recording this on Thursday afternoon. And my optimism for arrow Spence Terrence Crawford has never been lower. My optimism for tank Davis against Ryan García has never been lower. We're just back on that endless hamster wheel of boxing where we get excited about stuff and then we're back down once again. I hate it. I hate it. I mean, actually jamelle let me put this to you first. You had you've been close with Terrence for a number of years. You used to be in his camp. What do you think of all this? This is a fight obviously, not going to happen in November. And February, even though that's kind of a penciled end date, still not etched in stone at this point. Are you surprised that we're here right now? No, I mean, no, like I said, I'm actually close to both arrow and bud and all this, but as a fight fan, I will say that it's definitely disappointing. It was definitely disappointing because this fight is one of the first. It's probably one of the most intense but the fights, but it's like one of the most never happened in vice ever when every time every time we think we're getting close, we get pushed back ten, you know, ten steps backwards. So it is frustrating, but hopefully it was no guarantee in February, but we shall see. Kevin, you know what's interesting is that, like, guaranteed money, which often holds up big fights, is not the issue here. Like from what I understand, neither one of these guys is taking a guarantee. They're just taking the big percentages of the purse split. It's something else. There's other ancillary issues that seem to be holding this thing up.

"Day. It was trained for weeks and wouldn't that lead to perfection, though, and but it was still making errors. Right, it still wasn't perfect at predicting its own future, but it just kept getting better with the same dataset, which was really, I'm not even sure what the implications of that are. Just like you and me, we just keep getting better and better. That's what the implication is. I hadn't thought of this, but was that so I guess you started working on that probably in 2014 or 2015 or something. And these days, it's all about unsupervised learning. You know, when you hear like Jan talk about the future is self supervised slash on supervised learning where you guys ahead of the curve there, not that unsupervised learning hasn't always been around, but it just hasn't been as popular because supervised learning was such a success for those few years after 2012. Yeah. I mean, I think we were, yeah, perhaps we were ahead of the curve. I think it was definitely a different path. We were definitely on a different path from what most people were on to because of the problems we were facing. Or the problems we chose, that the fact that we chose to recognize the problem as one of not, you need more data. That the majority of the field just said, well, you just need more training data. They're still saying that to some extent today. Whereas we realized it's not about more data. It's about having a architecture, right? The algorithm, that is suited for the problem you're trying to solve. It has to be suitable. You also, this kind of switching topics here, but thinking about modern networks and the continued rise of expansion of these deep learning models, et cetera. I know that you have interest in language, at least you did back in graduate school. What are your thoughts on these recent Transformers? These language models. It's not something that we talk about much on the podcast. I have a few episodes kind of geared up to talk about them more. But how do you view, well, I know there's a bunch of different language models. But how do you view the transformer kinds of models? Transformers to me are very interesting. I view them as a formalism formalization perhaps as the word of what recurrent networks do, but in a way that makes them suitable for GPU acceleration. And more precision, right? Less of the vanishing gradient due to time, right? They're able to go back and instead of hoping that the recurrent system learns to preserve the meaningful information to make the decision at the end, right? Instead of just hoping that that sort of churning process preserves what you need, the transformer architecture makes it more explicit and says, if this information is beneficial for your output at this time, you can actually go and get it. You can retrieve it from that moment in your history, right? And so to me, that's a really clever design and in my hands using them on a few problems, transformers have been very, very successful. They've worked very well. Of course, I'm using much smaller transformers than these big language models and smaller datasets, but they're very useful tool. So you use the term formalism to describe what was happening with Transformers. And that immediately made me think of the word syntax. And but are semantics still missing. And I'm really naive about language models these days. But there's always the problem of meaning and semantics, right? So is it all syntax or are there semantics? Is there meaning in there? Right. So I think GPT-3 or these large language models. They are expensive toys, I think. They're expensive toys. Fun, but maybe not of very much use in my opinion. Used for what? Use for and so I think people have been interested in using them in various domains, helping them analyze, summarize text, for example, things like this. Or using them in the context of a customer service system or an education system for kids or things like this, I think that they don't know what they're talking about, right? And that's why you see you can always cherry pick great looking examples. But you can also see very bad failures of these things. And it's not that hard to get bad failures. Some people make it a hobby. That's right. Aggravators. Yeah, yeah. So I think yes, what is what is missing is the intelligence, right? The correct good generalization. And probably the way to do it is so I used to believe that you could learn language by listening to the radio. You could learn a language by the sense of the radio. That was the old idea that just by looking at strings of language. Taking a good taking it in, right? You should be able to figure out what it is. And then eventually I realized, you know, you might not you might not be able to do it until you actually so suppose the language is a stream about a coffee shop. About activity in the coffee shop, there's a barista. People ordering things, you're getting served things. Maybe you even have the audio of what's happening, some stirring sounds, some pouring sounds, right? I think to the point I think stirring sounds and pouring sounds or seeing what's going on is what helps you really be sure of the meaning, right? Until you, until you get that real world input that accompanies the language stream, you might always be a bit unsure about what they're really talking about. Well, I thought you were going to I thought you're going to go action that you have to speak. You have to generate. Right. I'm not necessarily ready to jump there yet to say that you would have to. But I would think you could sit in the coffee shop. If you sat on the coffee shop, that's much better than just hearing the language stream about what's going on with the coffee shop. You forgot Sarah McLachlan playing in the background as well. Exactly. That's a little outdated. But I've seen her. I've seen her perform twice. Oh, live. I didn't know you're a fan of Sarah. Are you a fan? I actually have a fan. Yeah, it's funny. I hope that's okay. You're my wife. I learned about her through my life. And I didn't know she was still going. Anyway, there are people like Chris Manning and others who are analyzing the properties of these language models and finding for lack of better term human like structure. So the question is, are they teaching us anything about our own intelligence, right? And this goes back to your model that we talked about also. Using that AI approach. You can answer it for both, right? So do transformers and modern language models have anything to teach us about our own intelligence. Great question. I think you could certainly if you have a model that does something and you look inside and you find certain patterns of activation, perhaps I could say it's likely you will find those patterns in.

All right, welcome back to another episode of boxing with Chris mannix part of the volume sports podcast network. We have an amazing show for you this week. The demise of HBO has been a popular topic amongst boxing fans for some time now. James Andrew Miller, who is one of the great oral historians of our time has written terrific books on ESPN, Saturday Night Live. He did a deep dive book on HBO including the rise and fall of boxing at HBO. James joins me on the podcast to discuss that very topic. How HBO got into the business and how ultimately HBO quietly got out of the business. A little bit later on, Regis program, the former 140 pound champion, he has been relatively quiet in 2021. That is not a lot of fighters have been willing to step up and to fight him. I talked to Regis about that about his new deal with the fledgling promotional outfit and what he hopes to accomplish in 2022.

His latest project is tinderbox, HBO's ruthless pursuit of new frontiers, which you can pick up everywhere that you buy books and Jim Carrey, because you want me here. On the show, Jim, let's just start before we get into the boxing part of this, which is obviously what I want to dive into. The name was interesting to me right off the bat. Why tinderbox, because I think that, you know, look for the past 49 years at different incarnations and different key inflection points in its history. HBO has been flammable. It's been one of these things that not only ignites change within the network itself..

Which won't ask him about a little bit later in the show teddy. Good to see a man. How's everything going good. See you because everything's everything's going good considering we're living in a crazy world right now. Are you know crazy in a lot of ways. But we're here and grateful to be here and grateful that have family around me. Yeah no question. I wanted to talk to you. Because i'm still kind of buzzing over what we saw with. Anthony joshua and alexander. Ucf and you spent part of your career a big part of your career training working with heavyweights. You work with michael moore. Of course alexander. Pevec in more recently. Just tell me what you were seeing when you watched joshua fight lucic you know. I was lucky enough to predict like mickey the great nikki used to say even a blind squirrel finds an aide corn once in a while so i was lucky enough to predict. Who's going to win that. Fight on my podcast and do a fight plan to greg down. But so i saw what i thought i would say to be quite frank. I saw a new civic a more complete fight. More developed complete fight more dimensional but as long a guy mentally that may surprise some people. Maybe i don't know to hear me say that. But i saw a guy that is i believe swung mentally than than joshua i mean. I don't think that you would have saw joshua fall. Apart the way or i should say i don't think you would have found found those two four part. The way that joshua did against release had time you know mentally physically you know in in all the dimensions that he did just like. I think quite frankly furious mentally strong a guy than than dion to out. So i i sense that all when i break down and fight i try to look at all dimensions and i also saw a guy who knows how to win. A lot of people pooh-poohed me. When when i made that a big deal on my podcast out a win. But what about his left. What about the right. What about what about the right hand powell. What about the side. Yeah i get it but Some people know how to win better than others and he even tangibly physically showed that because ouza guy ahead three nuts in the my caught. Some of those crazy judges. I don't know. I don't know what they're doing but i can only speak for myself. He was edry nothing. And then i saw joshua catch up and he slowly started catching up. He even the fight up but then every time. He defied up the man who knows how to win. Mr music went ahead the next round. He didn't let to go by get into bank with a momentum. Would've got on the wrong side either. Let that happen why he knows how a win. That's why and i. I also saw right from the beginning. Chris the difference to me. I made a note on my scorecard. I said it's a difference right here. First round the of one guy snapping it out the other guys pushing it out. You guess what you don't need teddy atlas to tell you the guy snapping it out is probably gonna do better and And it also. The jeb is a light detector for me in boxing because when a guy pushing jeb. He's telling you he. He's looking for one punch. He's telling you you don't mean to tell you that. But that's that's what he's telling you. It's a polygraph tests. He's telling you yeah. I'm only looking for one punch. And that's where i'm really got my conscience. I'm really not sure all the areas. I'm not really together and all the other areas. And that's what he was telling me and that's what he was telling whose it was more born that i'm just looking for the right hand and i'm going to land and i'm gonna win and oh i hope i'm gonna win and ewsweek was snapping it out controlling a guy with the jam and to me. A lot of things came afterwards. I get it but That was that was the concentration of the fight that was those the core of the fight right there and then of course like i would always say on. Espn you know. You set the table with the jab. Then you eat with the power punch he did. He set the table. Ninety eight with the left hand you know. And i thought he could've knock them out. I'll be honest with you. But i i thought he played. It's a smart. I if you listen to him i believe is an honest guy. He listened to his going. I believe he did and they said played sates. Don't go for the knockout. The guy still does have to right here and we did. And so i just saw. That's what i saw her more complete guy a more constant guy a guy on a win in a guy who caesar jeff to top away part of the success. Teddy as you. Well know of any fighter in any fight is the strategy. They have going into the fight. Joshua came in at one of the lightest weights of his career. He came in looking to seemingly to my is looking to box more with that. Bully him around the ring. What did you think of the strategy joshua employed in this fight. i think that is representatives of way. He is mentally after the louise fight. He lost a lot of his confidence in laws. He never got back. Humpty dumpty fell down into a million pieces and you know what he never quite got never quite. I don't think he got quite put back together. Again it's a polygraph test. It's telling you that you know he. He doesn't believe in certain dimensions us to believe it within himself. You know he. He's not so sure about being the biggest guy anymore. now now. it's more about being careful now. It's more about being safe. Now is more about are getting hurt you know and and win a fight. His thoughts thinking those dimensions. Guess what he's got a problem is he's got a pi. It's like if you will gunslinger back in old days. The old west you know and you made a living doing that new you start worrying about getting shot you probably it game ideal off the game my little because guess what that's the business you're it and and you better not show you better not wear it on your sleep. And he showed it. He thought by coming in that light. I believe again that he's going to be he's thinking going in that. Hey i'm i gotta be careful. I got a you know. I gotta be as nothing. Wrong would be more responsible. I teach guys to be more responsible to be better defensively. That's great but this is a little different does went into the mental terrain.

I mean it was a close fight. If you had the rounds up and josh did have this moments he was able to find his way in there in the mid round but who sick hands down you gotta give it some the game. Was there the potshots. He had a face a little bit of adversity to with a body shots. Josh find a home with a lepto to the body All in all. I mean who's going to opponents hometown. Not only not only josh where he goes into other people's hometown and takes the championship of which from the champion shutting down the crowd. The going against the promoter the judges that applaud that hard that is to do just all around impressive impressive performance. Yeah you knew it was going to be comfortable. He's been a road warrior for his entire career. Whether it's going to latvia to fight prediced going to the uk to fi- bell you and then you saw now in front of sixty five thousand. Pro joshua fans in tottenham. He didn't look rattled at all. And i did pick sergio joshua to win by knockout. Or things. I said this week was got to find a way to win those early rounds and make joshua uncomfortable. And that's exactly what he did. I mean he came out. In those first three rounds. He was bouncing on his toes. He was moving around the ring. He was landing the cleaner shots. And what i saw from. Joshua was a complete lack of adjustments. I mean he just seemed content to sort of stand there in the middle of the ring and just sort of turn with ucla like he wasn't using his size advantage to pressure wasn't using his longer jab to ours long..
SI Boxing with Chris Mannix
"chris manning" Discussed on SI Boxing with Chris Mannix
"Ways to win. This is boxing with chris manning. Somebody punched him in the face. Joshua is composed and ferocious spanish. Your watch this hosted by s. Is chris mannix. That was my moments now with interviews analysis and every thing going on in the world of boxing when you have talent you are given another chance. Here's chris mannix all right. Welcome back to another episode of boxing with chris. Mannix part of the volume sports podcast network. Pretty quiet weekend in boxing so why not bring in one of the least quiet people. In all of boxing. Lou dibella longtime boxing promoter boxing broadcaster boxing television producer. He joins me and we talk about all the big picture topics in boxing from judging two fighters getting vaccinated to the taffy. Molo pez george campus. Fight we get into the various broadcast networks. That are having various degrees of success. And if luke could promote one fighter from this young crop of top guys who would he pick great conversation with luda bella as always best way to support the podcast get over at apple. Podcasts post a comment leave a rating. It's simple it's easy. It's free is the best way to make sure that we keep doing this podcast week after week. That's it all right onto the show. Slow weekend in boxing. We were supposed to have the deontay wilder tyson fury three showdown in las vegas. That was scrapped weeks ago. Of course because tyson theory came down with kobe. Nineteen there's an interesting fight on saturday with joe joyce heavyweight contender. He's back in action. But it's relatively quiet in the world of boxing. So i figured i'd tackle some big picture. Topics here on this podcast. Do better to tackle them with. But one of my favorite podcasts guests guy that gets irrationally angry for absolutely no reason who makes phone calls to reporters the middle of the night. S- just loves and hates boxing. In equal measure. The great lou dibella president of dibella entertainment. What's up blue. It's a little bit of a double edged sword row because you guys call me in the middle of night regularly. I that's fair but there's equal amounts coming out coming out the going in. I mean there. There are fewer fewer ways in boxing. Entertain yourself taking advantage of the few left. That's that's fair. all right lou. I wanna talk to tackle a few subjects here. I wanna go back to this past weekend because this is still newsy. It's it's i'll explain why it's newsy in a minute. Still we had a good fight between branka stagno and your malchow low in texas costano charles over the undisputed one hundred fifty four pound championship of back and forth type flight that it looked like estonia was controlling the early rounds. Charlotte made a late surge in the final three. It ended in a draw. Which would have been okay. I guess except for the one scorecard submitted by nelson vasquez what wants seventeen one. Eleven in layman's terms. He added nine rounds to three in favor of djamil. Charlie which is absolutely absurd as a scorecard up. Let's get your reaction..

Trends in Natural Language Processing with Nasrin Mostafazadeh
"All right. Everyone welcome back to our AI rewind 2019 series in this episode will be covering covering NLP. And I've got the pleasure of being on the line with Nassreen Mostafa Day. She is a senior research scientist. At elemental cognition Nassreen. Woken back to the PODCAST. Sam Glad to back. Thanks for having me definitely glad I to be speaking with you again. We last spoke back in August of twenty eighteen when we spoke about contextual modeling language envision and some of your research This time will be reviewing some of your thoughts on the most important papers and developments more broadly the and the field that you work in natural language processing in twenty nineteen. I'll have folks refer back to that previous episode for a a little bit more about you and your background and what you're working on but to get this conversation started. Why don't we just start with your kind of broad? Take on twenty nine thousand nine in and Lt what was the was a big year for an ob sure so. Actually I think yeah thing into the nineteen was actually exciting. You're out the you know. These large pre-trading Models have been stretched widely to various various different directions and you know slowly but surely is community. They've started the sink about elected problems. They have the weaknesses the blindness spice up up Citing the sort of paradigm shifts that you're seeing in an LP sort of are into twenty twenty now kinda started. I'm I can reflect back on the decade Started back in two thousand fifteen to sixteen or so in various Task could start to get tackled by relatively straightforward approach that you would just including input tax. It could be looked looked at as a sequence of wars characters etc.. The new US like attention to actually Basically looked back back into the included representation video trying to predict something for task. which could be a sequence of Tokens as evacuate does container so so You know Chris Manning which is one of the pioneers of our field. The had this Basically the Belief from him that he believed him BIOS hegemony which he believes that basically no matter what the task is out there not task if you try wireless wirelessly omitted and use attention to attend back to the Basically important including a of the input you basically can Actually the state of the art knows this referring to the tension is all you need paper so attention is it only you need. Paper is more resent so that was then. The transfer miss came to picture. This has been hellish how fast field is moving through two thousand teams still as I said like the consensus in all it was that you can reach you. Choose state of the art if you just throw it. Violence attached that was the recipe and back in that tire member. Like when I was like talks I would conclude that look although that has been true or a host of different benchmarks a happens that for detested require vast amounts of background Dan knowledge reasoning in basically Require salish along tastes Not yet achieve state of the art or near human performance servants using these by Malls so fast forward just one year. In two thousand eighteen we had like L. modes steep contextualized were presentation The basically started sort of this one more step forward of billing these large language models which happened to be contextualized so preaching on a very large corpus and then fine tune of data stream which should sell started meeting lots and lots of different as state of the arts and establishing brand new state of arts and so the test that I had in mind when I was personally criticizing the fact that Oh look by throwing Added attention on a particular benchmark jump. Necessarily she stayed at the ARD causes reasoning tasks which is something that I personally absolutely very passionate about. It happens to be mined line of research and so the particular task was a storage tasks which I talk again. The lastingly testing we talk. Radio is specifically story Koehler says which is tested given a sequence of four sentences on which form a coherent story very very short story. The task is riches between two alternative endings to that story which Yunos designed basically to evaluate systems commonsense reasoning reasoning capabilities What happened in two thousand seventeen? Is that mid two thousand seventeen or so. The attention is unique. Paper came out the transformer paper that you just mentioned a minute or two ago so that paper basically enable aiding effect of other blurry large large pre-trade transformer models that could actually establish the state of the art in various commonsense reasoning tasks one being the. Gt one paper says uh-huh on paper came out around in two thousand eighteen hours which was Utah Training Model. This was a very large language model. Oh that opening. I folks have basically trained on a very large diverse corpus and then fine tune on a small data sets and actually this data said that they highlighted as to the place for me. The most amazing basically progress happened to be story closed as the benchmark. I I really cared about. So they have Notably they have often like around eighty six or so percent accuracy which was exceedingly getting better than the previous Number is that people had reported on the test set and so that really sort of changed my personal mind out adverb. You're going to this. I started believing in the fact that all look although these models may seem to be sort of doing pattern recognition at the scale pitch may not Doing reasoning in connecting the dots in all these sorts of things that we care about in a label as his reasoning. Efi You know do them in the right way or give these models off chance of being trained for on the right Dina says finding them right these center eric capable of doing knowledge transfer. I think that sort of set the ground up for us to move into has nineteen Very had more more of these very large preaching models that then you could basically find on various demonstrating test and establish state of yard. No matter the but they're not they're from our very at coronel t tasks like Shining tests such as historic Costas itself Congress this is reasoning etc.. So I think this has been the main exciting thing about Nineteen where we could see. This wasn't just a glimpse of Wasn't just a one time thing that these models could perform val it continued into two thousand eighteen. And I think I'm actually excited about A scene Improving these people off more about the downsides of these models but yeah I'm very excited to see her. VR going with this paradigm shift into any twenty.

SpanBERT
"So on the show we've been talking about burt night every episode come out but I'll take for granted that listeners at least should by now know what burt is so I'll skip that question and just ask you if you could put into context may be some Wayne which you've been applying birt has had an incredible affect on the P. Community. I think that's pretty obvious by now in one sense and this has also affected me personally burt kind of killed a lot of projects that were trying to create or design a model that is specific to a certain task came along you know this this kind of massive pre trained mass language model all that within three training e pox on on the target task it's getting stead of the results and putting those handcrafted models leaving the way behind a lot of people's first impression of bird is to be impressed with it what was your journey towards questioning where it's boundaries lie in span. Burt were not the per se trying to understand what the limits of Bert are but that is still a really really interesting question I have had other work that tries to kind of analyze what Bert Learns we actually just got a paper award and the Blackhawks NLP workshop for that paper that's work with with Kevin Clark does she khandelwal Chris Manning and other people have written similar papers in basically found out the bird is kind of learning the whole traditional NLP pipeline implicit manner and it's getting a lot of gains from that but I don't think that we have seen kind of what the limits of burt or Bert like models are at this point can you tell me a bit about how span Bert which is the shortest way to describe your contributions what's the long way what do you guys innovating on in your research since pampered what we tried to do is improve the pre-training tasks that bird is using bird is not a model but a- pre-training methods in that pre training method birt has two objectives one is the mass language model the other is accents prediction we focused on mainly proving the mass language model so the mass language model itself the way it works is that you get a sentence say I had a nice chat with Kyle at then you randomly pick some of these words mask them that say we must chats and the model needs to predict the missing word in I had something with Kyle is chats to make that after kind of to force the model to capture more interesting things about language and I'm keeping this vague intentionally will road to that in the second what we did was I instead of masking random tokens we masked random spans of tokens so we're not saying we're not giving the model as input I had a nice something with Kyle were saying I something something something something with Kyle and that is that a bit more flexibility in terms in the things that it could potentially predict by making the task more challenging basically forcing the model to learn more about length. approach the other thing we added was that we're not only forcing it to predict these missing words dismissing span from each of the individual mask Toke John's but we're forcing it to predict the information from the boundaries off the mask span so from the word I and with with Kyle were trying to predict everything that was in between tell me more about that limit does that mean I'm not going to consider things like the length of the span we didn't change the length of the sequence so the model knows what what legs it's trying to predict but it needs to kind of saying in a bit of a hand wavy way in needs to learn longer range dependency so it needs to learn not only what kind of immediately neighboring words I wanna be but what the next three words are gonNA be or forward depending on the length of the span the idea is novel and appeals to me and thank you put it pretty succinctly when you said we want to force the model or the learning process to learn more effectively but as I also think about it I wonder Well Okay you've made the problem harder if you train your model with your method on the exact same training data set we hope that that effort doesn't fact force the model to be murder do you have any way to quantify the degree to which that's true so that's a great question and we actually put a lot of effort and especially Taiwan resources into making sure that we're giving Berta real fighting chance the original of fighting chance to beat us in addition to taking Google's version of burt and just download you know whatever they may publicly available we also re implemented burt ourselves and we did a bit of hyper parameter tuning and every kind of training trick bit data or hyper parameters or training for more rations that we also applied to the baseline so we had baselines that were actually much much stronger than the original birds and we were still able to outperformed them when we added the span birds objectives on pre-trading tasks very neat and is there any way you can measure do that or is it more qualitative as you introspective results if you'll allow me to go on a bit of a of a tangent here please this is a question asking since two thousand sixteen when along with Felix Hill we ran the Rep Avowal Workshop this was twenty sixteen since then Sam Bowman joined us and actually kind of took the lead on this we came together to make this shared task that everybody's been running on glue I think most of our listeners have heard of a now we have also superglue which is kind of the next generation much harder tasks as well glue as a really really good way or was a good way until I got maxed out by by all these models but it's a really good way of evaluating how will these pretrial tasks are actually working because it evaluates a diverse set of tasks with different types of training set sizes different levels of complexity of difficulty if you manage to improve the results glue by say two points that's really really meaningful I'll mention another work that we did kind of concurrently it started actually from kind of the same parent project but split off into two things one of them was span the other being Roberta so Roberta the the idea was basically let's try to replicate birds but do a lot of hyper parameter you name and scaling up that original bird just didn't do because I know they thought it was big enough and good enough to really was at the time but apparently what we found in Roberto was that you can do a little bit of tweaking to the hyper parameters for example just training and get for a bit longer maybe try training with bigger batch works really really really well in fact it works so well that on glue for example we were able to outperform xl nets by a little bit so kind of that's really saying something yeah I would say within variance but basically without adding all commodification exit added to the model so we just you know we basically had the simple model even simplified it even more we removed the next symptoms addicts in the NFC objective didn't spend Burton as well and used just a single sequence to train each example and just scamming it up training for longer using slightly better vocabularies just really really improved performance on a bunch of tests and not only glue we also just east results and Superglue as well where there's really really big leap it's not at human level yet because superfluids significantly harder it has a bunch of tests that are significantly harder than the ones that we have in glue but still it's a huge advance in Yeah absolutely I seem to recall the paper on a lot of tasks like putting your your approach to the challenge with the famous squad and squad two point Oh data sets that you were eking out those arguable percentage points improvements on span burt when compared to Vanilla Google burt and a few others I know all deep learning a little bit inherently blackbox but do you have a sense of you've the mechanism or or what it is is allowing your model to outperform I really the most impressive results were in what we call span selection tasks so squad squad to a lot of the machine reading question answering our task data sets that we ran on we see this really significant improvement there this is probably because Spaniard is focused on representing and predicting the content of Mrs Expense and I think that's why we're getting gains on these are also mentioned one other task that we ran on which which most people don't run on because it's a bit more complicated which is correct resolution reference resolution is a really hard task for a models currently the state of the art on this it's it's about seventy nine F. One whereas before us the best model was from Lee and others which was about

Latest airport ransomware attack highlights how cybercriminals hold data hostage
"This past week Cleveland's airport began to recover from a computer attack that took down its flight information, baggage displays and it's Email. The FBI says it was another ransomware attack on a sensitive government network, ransomware locks up victims files until ransom is paid more. And more critical public service networks are the targets before Cleveland. The city governments of Newark, Atlanta, and Sarasota were hit and San Francisco's transit authority. The Colorado department of transportation and the port of San Diego today. Twenty six percent of cities and counties say they fend off an attack on their networks every hour, perhaps even worse. Dozens of hospitals have been held hostage across the country. In January twenty eight teen the night shift at Hancock regional hospital watched its computers crash with deepest apologies. The one hundred bed facility in the suburbs. Of indianapolis. Got it CEO Steve long out of bed. We had never been through this before. And it's something that I read in the journals. And I say, oh, those poor folks. I'm glad that's never going to happen to us. But when you come in, and you see that the files on your computer have been renamed in all of the files were renamed either. We apologize for files or were sorry. And there was a moment when I thought, well, maybe they're not so bad. They said they were sorry. But in fact, they had encrypted every file that we had on our computers and on the network. Well, the as we've said still had long told nine one one to divert emergency patients to a hospital twenty miles away. His staff turned to pen and paper. Nothing electron. It could be trusted. This is a ransomware. So this is a virus that has gotten. To the computer system. Would it have the ability to jump to a piece of clinical equipment could have jumped to an IV pump could have jumped to a ventilator we needed a little time just to make sure about that time was a luxury not offered in the ransom demand. Your network has been encrypted if you would like to purchase the decryption keys you have seven days to do. So or your network vials? We'll be permanently deleted. And then it gave us the the amount that we would need to pay to get that back and that came to about fifty five thousand dollars that was the same price demanded of the city of Leeds Alabama three weeks after Hancock hospital near David Miller was surprised his town of twelve thousand would be a target not much to notice in. It's at least not since Charles Barkley graduated from the high school. I didn't know that this Mauer attack was actually a ransomware attack soon as we've found that out that took it to the different level. How do you make? Well, it was. Going to cost us money white the hospital. The city of Leeds was cast back into the age of paper. No, Email, no access to its personnel files or financial systems can all companies and local governments expect to be attacked. I think everyone should expect to be attacked the FBI's might Chris man says cyber-crooks, no governments in hospitals are likely to pay because they can't afford not to until his recent promotion Christmas was in charge of the FBI's cybercrime unit. You're waiting for the day that somebody says we have the nine one one system held hostage in a major city, and we need ten million dollars today. I hope that day never comes. But I think we should prepare for that possibility. Crispin says in twenty seventeen seventeen hundred six cesspool rent somewhere attacks were reported. But he figures that's less than half more. Most businesses. He says would rather pay in admit they were hacked on the wear of one ransomware variant that affected all fifty states that had some thirty million dollars in losses and over six million dollars in ransom payments. I would tell you that the losses are very significant and easily approach one hundred million dollars or more just in the United States that ransomware variant. He's talking about is the one that held handcock hospital hostage. It's cold Samson. After one of its file names experts told Steve long Sam Sam is unbreakable. There was nothing that we could do to unlock those files are only choice was to wipe the system and hope that we had backups or to purchase the decryption keys to pay the rent. Indeed. That is exactly what that means. But Sam Sam had infected the hospitals back-up files, the FBI adv-. Vise long not to pay. But after two days after his staff filled out ten thousand pieces of paper, he paid the ransom. The crooks demanded digital money known as bitcoin ransomware is possible only because bitcoin is so difficult to trace mayor Miller held out two weeks before he paid his bitcoin ranson after a little bargaining at the said to grit my teeth and realized that this was a business decision. And that was the way to do it. So they asked for sixty and you paid eight how did you get there? Well, I agree and
